Appliance Repair in St. Petersburg, FL
Appliance repair in St. Petersburg, FL runs a median of $311 per completed job, or $364 once a part is actually replaced. That is not a national average. It comes from 919 jobs we have run inside the city across 795 households, 701 of which finished as paid work and 496 of which involved replacing a real component.
The bottom quarter of paid visits ends at $156. The top quarter starts at $403. Twelve St. Petersburg ZIP codes, no travel surcharge between them, and a 90-day parts and labor warranty on every completed repair.
Appliance Repair in St. Petersburg, FL
Refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher, oven, freezer and ice maker. You get the total before we start, and the $99 diagnostic comes off the bill when you approve the repair.
What Appliance Repair Actually Costs in St. Petersburg
The medians below are parts, labor and the service call together, taken from our own completed St. Petersburg invoices. There are two price columns because people are asking two different questions. The first is what a typical visit ends up costing across everything we did, diagnostic-only calls included.
The second is what it costs once a component is genuinely being replaced, which is the number you want when the machine is clearly dead rather than just misbehaving.
| Appliance | Median, all paid jobs | Median with a part replaced | Middle half | Paid jobs (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $341 | $395 | $313 to $491 | 157 |
| Washer | $352 | $370 | $338 to $456 | 94 |
| Dryer | $344 | $350 | $317 to $400 | 67 |
| Dishwasher | $245 | $362 | $262 to $457 | 46 |
| Oven and range | $302 | $369 | $304 to $452 | 36 |
| Freezer and ice maker | $180 | $361 | $250 to $588 | 23 |
Read the second column and the city looks strangely flat. Dryers, washers, dishwashers, ovens and refrigerators all land between $350 and $395 once a part goes in. That band is not really about the part. It is the service call plus one to two hours of labour, which is why a $22 thermal fuse and a $180 control board finish within fifty dollars of each other.
What actually varies is the fourth column. Dryers hold a tight $317 to $400. Refrigerators stretch $313 to $491. And freezers and ice makers run $250 to $588, the widest spread on the page. If you want the surrounding context we publish how much appliance repair costs in Tampa, a plain explanation of how appliance repair pricing works, and the underlying cost by component across 29,315 repairs.
Why St. Petersburg Appliances Fail the Way They Do
St. Petersburg is not an interchangeable Tampa Bay suburb, and the shape of our call list here has local reasons behind it. The city sits on the Pinellas peninsula with Tampa Bay on one side and the Gulf on the other, and it has more water inside its limits than land: 73.63 square miles of water against 61.87 square miles of ground.
It holds 258,308 people in 111,957 households, it averages 361 days of sunshine a year, and it has not taken a direct hurricane hit since 1921. Those four facts explain more of our schedule than any brand does.
Freezers and ice makers are the coin flip on this page 57 PERCENT FIT A PART
Thirteen of our 23 paid freezer and ice maker visits in St. Petersburg ended with a part fitted. That is the lowest part-fitted share of any appliance in the city, well under the dryer figure. It also has the lowest median across all paid jobs at $180, because so many of those calls are a frozen fill tube, a clogged filter or a door left ajar.
But when a component does fail, the same category produces the most expensive band we have here, with the middle half reaching $588. In other words a freezer call in this city is either nothing or it is the biggest bill on the page, and there is very little in between. Detail on the freezer and ice maker side.
Refrigerators are more than a third of everything we do here 157 PAID JOBS
Of the 423 St. Petersburg jobs where the paperwork identifies an appliance, 157 are refrigerators. That is more than washers and dryers put together. The part-fitted share of 83 percent, so when somebody calls us about a refrigerator in this city, five times out of six there is a genuine failed component behind it.
The middle half runs $313 to $491, which is where evaporator fans, defrost heaters, inlet valves and control boards live. Sealed-system and compressor work sits above that. See the refrigerator page and the correct refrigerator temperature before you call.
If your dryer has stopped, it is genuinely broken 11 OF 67
Eighty-four percent of paid dryer visits in St. Petersburg end with a part fitted, against 57 percent for freezers. A dryer that will not heat or will not tumble almost always has a failed part behind it: an element, a thermal fuse, a belt, a blower wheel, a thermostat.
There is very little ambiguity in a dryer, which is also why it holds the tightest price band on this page at $317 to $400. That predictability is the useful part. We can tell you the likely range on the phone for a dryer, and we will not do that for a refrigerator. Detail on the dryer page.
Two summer peaks and a February one AUGUST 11.1 PERCENT · NOVEMBER 6.0 PERCENT
Across all 919 St. Petersburg jobs, August is our busiest month at 11.1 percent of the year and July is second at 10.9 percent. November is the trough at 6.0 percent.
That is a 1.85 times swing between the fullest month and the emptiest one, and in a city with 361 sunny days and Gulf humidity it is exactly what you would expect: compressors and condenser fans run long cycles through the summer, and laundry loads climb.
The odd one out is February at 10.2 percent, a third peak in what should be a quiet month, which is when the seasonal population is at its height. Practical consequence: if your refrigerator is marginal in May, it will not survive August.
352 of our 919 St. Petersburg jobs are from the last twelve months, and 224 fall in 2026. This is a standing route across the Pinellas peninsula rather than a special trip, so same-day slots are realistic when you book early. Book online or call (863) 663-2086.
Do We Cover Your Address? St. Petersburg by ZIP
Twelve St. Petersburg ZIP codes carry real volume for us and we cover all of them at the same price, with no travel surcharge between them. They are not the same kind of territory, and the median tells you so.
| ZIP | Our jobs | Paid | Last 12 months | Median paid job |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 33713 | 113 | 88 | 46 | $289 |
| 33710 | 108 | 86 | 37 | $317 |

| 33702 · also Lealman | 93 | 64 | 27 | $250 |
| 33704 | 77 | 57 | 37 | $352 |
| 33712 | 63 | 48 | 29 | $306 |
| 33703 | 61 | 48 | 24 | $289 |
| 33711 | 56 | 46 | 19 | $323 |
| 33709 | 56 | 41 | 18 | $260 |
| 33701 · downtown | 42 | 25 | 15 | $462 |
| 33714 · also Lealman | 42 | 30 | 12 | $294 |
| 33715 · also Tierra Verde | 38 | 34 | 15 | $360 |
The spread inside one city is the thing worth noticing. The median paid job in 33701 is $462. In 33702 it is $250. That is 1.8 times, and it is not a different price list — it is a different equipment population. Downtown 33701 is condominium towers with built-in and integrated appliances, panel-ready refrigerators and slide-in ranges, where a repair means a service manual and often an ordered part.
33702 to the north is postwar single-family housing running mid-market top-freezers and top-load washers, where the same failure is a $250 fix. Two ZIPs carry the Lealman name as well as St. Petersburg, 33702 and 33714, and 33715 carries Tierra Verde, where we run a separate Tierra Verde cluster for the barrier-island addresses.
Around St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg is one stop on a Gulf-coast route, and the neighbouring territory has its own pages built on its own job history. Full metro structure is on appliance repair in Tampa Bay, and the city-level pages for the wider bay are refrigerator repair in Tampa FL, washer repair, dryer repair, dishwasher repair, oven repair and ice maker repair.
South across the Skyway we cover Sarasota and Longboat Key; east of the bay it is Brandon and Wesley Chapel; north up the peninsula it is Largo and Clearwater. If you want prices rather than geography, refrigerator repair cost in Tampa Bay and washer repair cost in Tampa Bay go deeper on those two appliances.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Fridge section warm, freezer still cold — evaporator fan, defrost heater or defrost control. The single most common job in St. Petersburg and the one where the bill varies most. Background: refrigerator not cooling and why hot food in the refrigerator makes it worse.
- No ice, or ice with a taste — frozen fill tube, water inlet valve, or a filter nobody has changed. This is the category where 57 percent of our visits end with a part fitted, so read when to change the water filter before you book.
- Washer fills but will not spin, or walks across the floor — lid switch, drive belt, hall sensor, worn suspension. See washing machine out of balance and what washer error codes mean.
- Dryer runs but clothes come out damp — heating element or thermal fuse on electric, igniter or coils on gas, or a vent run that has silted up. A 84 percent part-fitted share says there is usually a real part in it.
- Dishwasher will not drain, or leaves a film — drain pump, check valve, or hard-water scale on the spray arms. See dishwasher leaking from the bottom and how hard water affects your dishwasher.
- Oven will not reach temperature, or a gas burner clicks without lighting — bake element, igniter, spark module or the control board. Ovens have our second-highest part-fitted share of 67 percent, often because the oven is accurate and the thermometer is not.
Which Brands We See in St. Petersburg
380 of our St. Petersburg jobs carry a brand on the paperwork. Whirlpool leads at 21.8 percent, Samsung is 20.0 percent, GE 18.4 percent, Frigidaire 12.4 percent, LG 9.5 percent and Maytag 8.4 percent.
That is a mainstream mix rather than a luxury one, and it matters for one practical reason: common failure parts for Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire and Maytag platforms ride on the van, and those four are 61 percent of our tagged work here.
Samsung and LG refrigerator components are the ones most likely to need ordering, and that is where a second visit comes from. One caution about brand tables generally — this is how often we are called out to a brand, not how reliable it is.
A brand with a big installed base generates more calls simply by being everywhere. We treat that distinction properly in most reliable appliance brands and appliance repair cost by brand.
Repair or Replace, in St. Petersburg Numbers
The arithmetic is simple once you have the local median. A repair with a part replaced runs $364 here. A mid-market replacement refrigerator is roughly $1,100 to $1,600 installed, a washer $700 to $1,200, a dryer $650 to $1,100. So on a machine under about eight years old with no previous repair history, a $364 repair is straightforward value.
The decision gets harder in two specific places. The first is a refrigerator whose middle half reaches $491 and whose sealed-system work sits above that — that is the one appliance in this city where we will not estimate before looking.
The second is anything in a downtown 33701 condominium, where a panel-ready or integrated unit is expensive to repair and far more expensive to replace, because replacing it means matching a cabinet opening.
Our full framework is in the repair or replace guide, with lifespan by appliance in how long refrigerators last.

Appliance Repair in St. Petersburg — Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in St. Petersburg, FL?
The median completed job in St. Petersburg is $311, and $364 once a part is actually replaced, parts and labor and the service call together. Those are medians from 701 paid jobs we have run inside the city. The bottom quarter finishes at $156 and the top quarter starts at $403.
By appliance, the median with a part replaced is $395 on refrigerators, $370 on washers, $369 on ovens and ranges, $362 on dishwashers, $361 on freezers and ice makers, and $350 on dryers.
Which St. Petersburg ZIP codes do you cover?
Twelve carry real volume for us: 33701, 33702, 33703, 33704, 33705, 33709, 33710, 33711, 33712, 33713, 33714 and 33715. There is no travel surcharge between them and the price list is identical. Two of them, 33702 and 33714, also carry the Lealman name in USPS records, and 33715 also carries Tierra Verde, where we run a separate cluster for the barrier-island addresses.
Why is the median in 33701 nearly double the median in 33702?
$462 against $250, and it is equipment rather than pricing. Downtown 33701 is condominium towers with built-in, panel-ready and integrated appliances, where a repair often means a service manual and an ordered part. 33702 to the north is postwar single-family housing running mid-market top-freezers and top-load washers, where the same symptom is a cheaper fix. Both ZIPs get the same $99 diagnostic and the same 90-day warranty.
What have you actually repaired in St. Petersburg?
919 jobs across 795 households, 733 of them completed and 701 paid. By appliance, paid completed work: refrigerators 157, washers 94, dryers 67, dishwashers 46, ovens and ranges 36, freezers and ice makers 23. 352 of those jobs fall in the last twelve months and 224 in 2026, so this is current work rather than history.
Our St. Petersburg volume has gone 59 jobs in 2023, 287 in 2024, 349 in 2025 and 224 so far in 2026.
What do I pay if the machine does not need a part?
You pay the $99 diagnostic and nothing else. In St. Petersburg that happened on 171 of 701 paid visits, 24 percent. It is very uneven by appliance: freezers and ice makers end with a part fitted 57 percent of the time, ovens 33 percent, dishwashers 28 percent, washers 23 percent, and refrigerators and dryers only 17 and 16 percent.
So a dryer that has stopped working almost always has a failed part behind it, while a freezer that is not making ice often does not.
When is the busiest time of year, and can you come out the same day?
August is our busiest month in St. Petersburg at 11.1 percent of the year, July is second at 10.9 percent, and November is the quietest at 6.0 percent. February is a third peak at 10.2 percent, when the seasonal population is highest.
Same-day is realistic because this is a standing route with 352 jobs in the last twelve months, but it depends on where the van is when you call, so book early in the day. Refrigerator and freezer calls get priority because food loss is on the clock.
Do you carry parts, or does everything have to be ordered?
Common failure parts for Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire and Maytag platforms ride on the van, and those four brands are 61 percent of our tagged St. Petersburg work. Samsung and LG refrigerator components are the ones most likely to need ordering, along with panel-ready and integrated units in downtown condominium buildings. If a part has to be ordered we give you the total and the expected timeline before you approve anything.
Is the diagnostic really applied to the repair?
Yes. The $99 is credited against the repair total when you approve the work, so you are not paying twice. It is $150 on a stacked washer-dryer or a double wall oven, because those need to be pulled and separated before anything can be seen.
If you decide not to go ahead you pay the $99 and you leave knowing exactly what is wrong, which is what 171 St. Petersburg households did.
