Repair or replace?
A common rule of thumb: if a repair costs close to half of a comparable new appliance, and the unit is near the end of its typical life, replacement may make more sense. A technician can help you weigh it.

Useful to have ready
A leaking appliance can damage floors and cabinets, and food doesn't last long in a warm fridge.
Stop using it if
- You smell gas near a gas appliance — leave and call your gas utility
- There's a burning smell or visible scorching
- It's leaking onto the floor
- The dryer is very hot to the touch and clothes stay wet
If there's fire, a gas smell or any risk to someone's safety, leave and call 911.
- Find the brand and model number — often inside the door, on the back or under the lid.
- Note any error code shown on the display.
- For a failing fridge, keep the doors closed and move essentials to a cooler.
- For a leaking washer or dishwasher, turn off its water supply.

Is my appliance still under warranty?
Check your purchase records or the manufacturer's site with your model and serial number. Warranty work may need to go through an authorized servicer.
What affects the cost of an appliance repair?
It depends on what's wrong, how big the job is, access, materials and local rates. Independent pros set their own prices, so ask for a written estimate — and what could change it — before work starts.
How quickly can someone come out?
It depends on your area, the time of day and how busy local pros are. Say that it's urgent when a pro contacts you, and follow the safety steps on this page in the meantime.
