Appliance Repair FAQ

Call (771) 222-7117 or use the Book online page. Share your service address, the appliance type and brand, and a short description of the problem, and we'll schedule the earliest available window.

Same-day and next-day appointments are available when route capacity is open. Booking early in the day gives the best chance of a same-day window.

We run 7 days a week — Monday to Saturday 8 AM to 10 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 10 PM — with no evening or weekend premium. See our evening & weekend repair page for details.

Appliance Surgeon is not a 24/7 emergency service. We operate 7 days a week until 10 PM, which covers most urgent situations the same day or first thing the next morning.

The technician diagnoses the problem first, explains the recommended repair, and gives you a full parts-and-labor quote before any work begins.

The diagnostic visit is $75 for a single appliance or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Evening and weekend visits cost the same as weekday visits.

Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. For appliance repairs, labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. The exact price depends on the appliance and the fault, which is why we diagnose first and quote before working. Typical repair ranges are in our appliance repair cost guide.

There is no official ranking, so judge companies on verifiable facts: license status in DC, Maryland and Virginia, review volume and rating, hours, pricing transparency and warranty. Appliance Surgeon is rated 4.9 stars across 480+ Google reviews, is licensed in all three jurisdictions, runs 7 days a week until 10 PM with no evening or weekend surcharge, charges a $75 diagnostic that is credited toward the repair, and backs every repair with a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Our guide to choosing an appliance repair company in the DMV lists the checks to run on any company.

"DMV" (DC, Maryland, Virginia) is exactly our footprint: Washington, DC; Northern Virginia from Alexandria and Arlington out to Reston, Chantilly and Woodbridge; and suburban Maryland including Bethesda, Rockville, College Park and Oxon Hill. Licensing, hours, pricing and the 90-day warranty are the same across all three.

Appliance Surgeon is licensed for appliance repair in Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland.

Every repair is covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor, starting the day the repair is finished. The technician explains the terms before the job is complete.

Clear access to the appliance, note any error codes shown, avoid repeated resets, and keep pets away from the work area.

If a repair needs a part the technician doesn't carry, we explain the next step and the cost before ordering anything — nothing proceeds without your approval.

We schedule directly with tenants, send the diagnosis and quote to the owner or manager for approval before any work, and can invoice the management office. See our property managers page.

Between tenants we can inspect, repair or install the appliance package in a single visit, and haul away any units being replaced.

Leave the appliance alone, don't operate any switches, leave the home, and call your gas utility's emergency line or 911 first. Book appliance service only after the utility has made the situation safe.
