What Palmetto Households Paid, Appliance by Appliance
Three rows in the table come from Palmetto invoices alone: refrigerators, washers and the total for all appliances. Palmetto has too few paid dryer, dishwasher, oven and ice maker repairs with a part to give each its own dependable median. Those four rows borrow the statewide Florida median instead, computed exactly the way the Palmetto rows are.
| Appliance | Median with a part | Middle half |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $345 Palmetto | $282 to $410 |
| Washer | $368 Palmetto | $335 to $432 |
| Dryer | $370 Florida | $312 to $453 |
| Dishwasher | $344 Florida | $275 to $424 |
| Oven and range | $396 Florida | $308 to $526 |
| Ice maker and freezer | $385 Florida | $300 to $495 |
| All appliances | $347 Palmetto | $292 to $422 |
No row here is a quote: the number for your own appliance comes out of the diagnosis at your home.
Palmetto Next to the Florida Numbers
| Measure | Palmetto | Florida |
|---|---|---|
| Median with a part | $347 | $375 |
| Middle half | $292 to $422 | $300 to $455 |
| Bills under $400 | 68.6 percent | 62 percent |

At the bottom the local band starts $8 under Florida, and at the top it stops $33 under, which makes the Palmetto band $25 narrower than the state band. Of Palmetto Bozmanfix bills with a part, 68.6 percent stayed below the $400 mark, versus 62 percent for Florida as a whole.
One Postal Code, a Much Larger Area Than the City
Palmetto has had a post office under that name since 1868. It became a village in 1893 and a city in 1897, and it sits on the north side of the tidal Manatee River, facing Bradenton, the county seat, across the water. Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew 5.7 percent, from 12,606 to 13,323.
Mail addressed to Palmetto, Florida reaches far beyond the city limits. Measured by land in the Census Bureau’s ZIP-to-place relationship table, 34221 breaks down like this: the City of Palmetto takes up 9.9 percent of it, the Memphis census-designated place 6.0 percent, and a slice of the Ellenton census-designated place 3.6 percent. Unincorporated county land with no census place name makes up the other 80.5 percent.
By population the gap looks similar. The American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 estimates 56,208 people in 34221 and 13,588 in the city. In other words, the city holds about a quarter of the residents who write Palmetto on an envelope. Memphis, which the census counted at 9,024 people in 2020, uses the same postal code. Every one of these addresses is on our Palmetto list at the same diagnostic fee.
Homes Behind a Palmetto Address
The survey describes two different housing stocks. Inside the city limits the median year built is 1983, mobile homes account for 31.0 percent of housing units, and 21.2 percent of units sit in the seasonal or occasional-use column. Of the occupied homes there, 68.8 percent are lived in by their owners and 31.2 percent by renters.
Across the whole of 34221, the median build year moves forward to 1995, and 25.7 percent of the postal area’s housing went up in 2010 or later. Owners occupy 82.9 percent of homes in the postal area, seasonal units fall to 12.2 percent and mobile homes to 26.8 percent.
Palmetto Appliance Calls in Our Files
Refrigerator calls outnumber the rest FRIDGE $345 WITH A PART
Tagged Palmetto jobs put refrigerators at 48, washers at 34 and dryers at 17. Some jobs carry no appliance tag, and these are counts from our records rather than a ranking of failures.
Locally a refrigerator repair with a part runs to a $345 Bozmanfix median, $282 to $410 across the middle half. In 27 of the 48 refrigerator descriptions the customer reports a fridge or freezer that was not cold enough. The Palmetto refrigerator page breaks that down part by part.
Washers on a narrow band WASHER $368 WITH A PART
Palmetto Bozmanfix washer repairs with a part sit at a $368 median, and the middle half runs from $335 to $432, a band of $97. The Florida washer band is $135 wide.
Shaking, knocking, banging or an off-balance load comes up in eight of those 34 washer write-ups. The Palmetto washer page sets out what sits inside that narrow band.
Dryers and the vent
The Bozmanfix Palmetto dryer file is still a small sample. Six of the 17 Palmetto dryer bookings came in as a dryer giving no heat.
The Palmetto dryer page explains why the vent belongs in that conversation.
Dishwashers, ovens and ice makers FLORIDA MEDIANS
Local paid-repair counts for these three are too thin for a Palmetto median. For planning, take the Florida Bozmanfix medians with a part: a dishwasher repair is $344 statewide, an oven or range repair $396, and ice maker or freezer work $385.
Ice complaints also arrive on refrigerator calls here, with the ice maker, the door dispenser or the filter named in 14 of 48 fridge write-ups. Each appliance has its own page in the grid near the bottom.
Four brands, 83 of 98 tickets SAMSUNG · WHIRLPOOL · GE · LG
Brand tags in Palmetto read Samsung 25, Whirlpool 24, GE 21, LG 13. Together those four account for 83 of the 98 jobs with a brand recorded. The remaining 15 carry Frigidaire, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid or Speed Queen badges.
The list shows what stands in Palmetto kitchens and laundry rooms, not which brand lasts longest. Snap the rating plate when you book; the technician can then pull up the parts diagram ahead of the drive.
An older population in the city 30.0 PERCENT AGED 65 PLUS
The 2020 to 2024 survey puts the median age inside the city at 49.8, with 30.0 percent of residents aged 65 or older. Across 34221 the median age is 45.5 and veterans make up 11.8 percent of civilian adults.
The senior rebate and the veteran rebate are $30 apiece; a newcomer’s is $20. Say so when booking.
Water from Manatee County LAKE MANATEE AND DEEP WELLS
In the federal drinking water database, the City of Palmetto Water Department lists surface water bought from Manatee County Utilities as its primary source, along with two active wells of its own. The county’s 2025 water quality report describes a blend of surface water from the Lake Manatee Reservoir and groundwater from seven deep wells in eastern Manatee County, treated at a plant on the lake shore.
The county report says lime softening of the well water removes a portion of the hardness, but it prints no hardness figure, so we do not quote one. Which utility serves each address outside the city is not something we have confirmed.
Power and gas on the tariffs FPL · PEOPLES GAS
The Florida Power and Light tariff, in its list of communities served for 2026, names Palmetto, Memphis, Ellenton, Rubonia, Piney Point and Parrish in Manatee County. Palmetto, Ellenton and Parrish are also on the Peoples Gas tariff’s list of Manatee County communities.
Census survey heating data for the city: electric in 91.6 percent of occupied homes, piped utility gas in 6.0 percent. Ranges and dryers of either fuel are on our repair list; tell us which kind is in your home when you book.
Part Prices for Refrigerators and Washers
With 48 refrigerator tags and 34 washer tags in the Palmetto file, those two part lists are printed here.
Strip out the compressor and the refrigerator column stays within. The washer lines are closer together still. Look for the remaining four part lists on the individual Palmetto appliance pages.
When a Storm Takes the Power or Brings Water In
Helene’s 2024 surge pushed the Port Manatee tide gauge to 6.04 feet over mean higher high water, by the Weather Service’s count. SeaPort Manatee sits at the entrance to Tampa Bay in the north of the county. If floodwater reached a washer, dryer, range or freezer, leave it switched off and mention the water when you book, and the technician inspects it before it runs again.
On food, USDA timing runs roughly like this with the doors shut: fridge 4 hours; freezer 48 hours stuffed, 24 hours half-stocked. USDA puts the discard line for perishables at two hours above 40°F, and it allows refreezing anything from the freezer that is still icy or measures 40°F or less on a thermometer.
Bradenton, Apollo Beach and the Wider Bay
Every job filed under Palmetto in 34221 is counted on this page, including Memphis and the Palmetto side of Ellenton. Bradenton, across the river, has a page of its own. So do Apollo Beach to the north on Tampa Bay and Sarasota to the south. For the rest of the bay, start from our Tampa Bay locations page.

From the Complaint to the Likely Part
- Freezer cold, fresh-food side warming: evaporator fan motor or a failed defrost heater or timer heads the test list.
- Ice bin empty: a water valve that no longer opens, ice blocking the fill tube, or a worn-out module.
- Washer walking across the floor on spin: worn suspension or a lopsided load.
- Drum turns, clothes stay damp: a lint-choked exhaust duct, the heating coil, the fuse or the thermostat.
- Water left in the tub after a cycle: the drain pump, or a blockage on the drain path.
- Oven slow to heat or running hot: the gas igniter, the lower element or the controller.

Reading a Median Without Misreading It
Line up every finished Palmetto repair that included a part in order of price, low to high. The median is the bill in the middle of that line; half the bills are below it and half above. A single compressor job at the top end barely moves it, and that steadiness is the reason we use it instead of an average. Discard the bottom 25 percent and the top 25 percent; the bills still standing form the middle half.
Statewide rows run that identical sort on Florida paperwork; part lists pool every city we work in.
Weighing Repair Against Replacement
Hold $347, the Palmetto midpoint, against a store price for the same kind of machine. Where the math gets close is a refrigerator compressor. Once the diagnosis names a price, the choice is yours.
For more on that choice, see our repair or replace guide and the article on refrigerator service life.
⚠️ Gas smell in the house? Walk everyone out, leave every switch alone, and phone 911 or the gas company from the yard. Once the gas company says the house is safe, the appliance is our job: (863) 663-2086.
💧 Water spreading across the floor? Shut the appliance’s water valve, then ring us.
How a Palmetto visit is priced. Troubleshooting is $99 per appliance, rising to $150 when the washer and dryer share one stacked frame or the oven has two wall cavities. A fixed repair number follows, and a yes wipes the diagnostic off the invoice. Prices shown here are complete bills, and Bozmanfix stands behind part and labor for 90 days.
