Bozmanfix services every major appliance in the home across the Philadelphia area: refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges, cooktops, freezers and ice makers, including the gas versions of ranges and dryers. We are an appliance repair company, so furnaces, boilers and water heaters are outside our scope and belong to the HVAC and plumbing trades.
Of the 1,371 jobs logged here, 1,078 completed and 577 involved replacing a part. That volume is what lets us publish real numbers on this page instead of national averages.

Medians from completed Bozmanfix work orders in the Philadelphia area where a part was replaced.

What the Philadelphia Area Does to Appliances
Older housing stock
Much of the Philadelphia area predates the appliances installed in it. Laundry is often in a basement with a long, bending dryer duct, kitchens have appliances fitted into spaces never designed for them, and access is frequently the hardest part of the job. That affects both the diagnosis and how long a repair takes.
Cold winters and unheated spaces
Basements and unheated back rooms drop close to freezing, which is hard on refrigerator compressors, on the rubber in door seals, and on washing machines with water sitting in the pump. A washer that will not start on the coldest morning of the year is a seasonal call here.
Row homes and shared walls
In row-home neighbourhoods a washer that vibrates is not only the owner problem, and a leak reaches a neighbour faster than it would in a detached house. That is why we treat a shaking machine or a slow leak here as more urgent than the same fault elsewhere.
Premium and Built-In Appliances
Where the kitchen carries Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Thermador or Miele, two things differ. The parts are model-specific assemblies rather than generic components, so we confirm the model number before ordering rather than guessing from the brand. And a built-in unit has to be removed from its cabinetry before diagnosis begins, which is labor before anything is found. Both push the ticket above the medians on this page, and we say so on the phone rather than after the visit.
What Happens on the Visit
- On the phone. We ask the appliance, the brand, the model number if you have it, and what it is doing. That decides which parts travel on the truck.
- Diagnosis. The technician confirms the fault with a meter rather than by symptom alone, because several faults look identical from the outside.
- The price, before any work. You get the total, including part, labor and the visit. Nothing is started until you approve it.
- The repair. Most jobs finish on the first visit. Where a model-specific part has to be ordered, we tell you the wait up front.
- The 99 dollars disappears from the bill the moment you approve the repair.
If we find nothing worth replacing, you pay the diagnostic and nothing else. That happens on a real share of calls, particularly on dryers where the fault turns out to be a blocked vent, and on ice makers where a raised shutoff arm or a clogged filter is the whole story.
Repair or Replace
For most faults the arithmetic favours repair, and it is not close. A typical repair here sits well below the price of a new appliance, and the rest of the machine is untouched by the fault. A washer that will not drain, a dryer that will not heat, a dishwasher that leaks, a fridge that stopped cooling because a fan failed, all of those are worth fixing on a unit of almost any age.
Four cases change the answer. A countertop microwave, where the repair approaches the price of a new one with a full warranty. A refrigerator compressor on a unit past twelve years, because the sealed system has reached the end of its service life. A cracked outer tub on a washer or a cracked dishwasher tub, since the tub is effectively the machine. And a control board on anything already past ten years, where the other components are close behind it.
Built-in and integrated units shift the line towards repair rather than away from it, because replacement means matching a cabinet cutout, dealing with venting, and sometimes cabinetry work when the model has been discontinued. Our repair versus replacement guide sets it out by appliance and age.
How Soon Someone Can Come Out
Same-day service is available on most calls, and the majority of jobs are scheduled within 24 hours of first contact. What speeds it up is telling us the brand, the model number and what the appliance is actually doing, because that decides which parts the technician brings on the first visit.
Appliance Repair in Philadelphia, Frequently Asked
How much does appliance repair cost in Philadelphia?
The median completed repair in the Philadelphia area is 315 dollars, with the middle half of jobs between 250 and 387, across 577 completed repairs. By appliance: dishwasher 255 dollars, oven 292 dollars, dryer 295 dollars, washer 300 dollars, refrigerator 387 dollars. Every figure includes the part, the labor and the service call. The diagnostic is 99 dollars and is waived when you approve the repair.
Do I pay the diagnostic fee if I go ahead with the repair?
No. The 99 dollar diagnostic is waived in full once you approve the repair, so you pay only the repair price. It is 150 dollars on a stacked washer-dryer set or a double wall oven, because those have to be separated or pulled from cabinetry to reach anything. If we find nothing worth replacing, the diagnostic is all you pay.
How soon can a technician come out in Philadelphia?
Same-day service is available on most calls, and the majority of jobs are scheduled within 24 hours of first contact. Call (267) 966-2438 and tell us the appliance, the brand and what it is doing. That is usually enough to give you the likely cost range on the phone and to bring the right parts on the first visit.
Which areas around Philadelphia do you cover?
118 cities and 129 ZIP codes. The largest by completed work are Philadelphia with 195 jobs, Levittown with 86 jobs, Doylestown with 57 jobs, Wayne with 55 jobs, Yardley with 44 jobs, Warminster with 43 jobs. If your town is not listed, call and we will confirm whether it is inside the service area.
Which appliance brands do you service in Philadelphia?
Every major brand. By job count the most serviced here are GE with 160, Whirlpool with 110, Samsung with 85, Frigidaire with 69, Maytag with 66, which reflects how common each brand is in local homes rather than how reliable it is. We keep LG and Whirlpool factory-trained technicians on staff, and we service premium brands including Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking and Thermador.
Do you repair furnaces or water heaters?
No. We are an appliance repair company, so we service refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges, cooktops, freezers and ice makers, including the gas versions of ranges and dryers. Furnaces, boilers and water heaters belong to the HVAC and plumbing trades, and calling us for those would waste a visit.
Is it worth repairing an appliance or replacing it?
For most faults, repair. A typical Philadelphia repair at 315 dollars sits well below the cost of a new appliance and the rest of the machine is untouched. Replacement starts to make sense in four cases: a countertop microwave, a refrigerator compressor on a unit past twelve years, a cracked tub on a washer or dishwasher, and a control board on anything already past ten years.
Is there a warranty on the repair?
Yes. Every repair carries a 90-day parts and labor warranty. Veterans and seniors take 30 dollars off any repair, new customers 20 dollars. Our priority membership is 179 dollars a year and includes five free diagnostics, priority scheduling and 30 dollars off labor on every repair.
