#1 Appliance Repair in College Park, MD
Appliance repair and installation for College Park homes: refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, dishwashers, and built in appliances, with published price ranges up front and a written figure before any work begins.
Your recent projects →At College Park Appliance Repair Co, we repair refrigerators, ovens, ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers for homeowners in College Park, MD. The calls repeat because the machines do: a fridge warming up overnight, a washer stopped mid cycle. This page describes how the work is done.
College Park pairs a university's rental energy with established homeowner streets in Berwyn and Hollywood, so the appliance work splits between landlord turnovers and family kitchens that repair first. Machines installed in the same building wave age in step, which is why whole streets seem to need the same repairs in the same seasons.
What this company sells first is certainty: a fault proven by testing, a figure in writing, and a repair verified under load, whether the ticket is a refrigerator or a range hood.
A call from Berwyn: Bottom freezer unit clicking and refusing to start. Testing found the compressor start relay had burned contacts. We fitted a new start device, confirmed compressor draw, and left the unit cooling on test. College Park pairs a university's rental turnover with homeowner streets in Berwyn and Hollywood, and the diagnosis serves both rhythms.
A call from Hollywood: Top mount built in running constantly through summer. Testing found condenser coils sealed over with dust and a weakening condenser fan. We cleaned the coil pack, replaced the fan motor, and confirmed normal cycle times. County water hardness scales elements and valves across College Park on a known schedule.
A call from Lakeland: Front load washer roaring on spin. Testing found worn suspension dampers letting the tub travel. We replaced the damper set, leveled the machine, and spin tested it with a wet load. Storm flickers along the Baltimore Avenue corridor age control boards a block at a time.
The menu below is the whole trade as households actually use it: the cooling, cooking, and laundry machines, the specialty units around them, and installation done to the same standard as repair. In College Park, the sequence is the service: tested first, quoted in writing, proven under load.
Warm air in the fresh food cabinet almost always traces to airflow: a failed evaporator fan, a damper stuck shut, or coils so loaded with dust that the system cannot shed heat. It is core work in College Park, quoted from the published band after a real diagnosis, never from the symptom alone.
An oven that runs hot or cold by a steady margin usually needs calibration or a new temperature sensor, both small repairs with a big effect on baking. In College Park, that fault is diagnosed before it is quoted.
A washer that fills and then sits silent has usually lost its drain pump or has a sock lodged where socks always end up, in the pump trap. In College Park, it is diagnosed the way every service here is: tested first, quoted in writing, then repaired.
An electric dryer that tumbles without heat has usually lost one leg of its heating element or blown the thermal fuse that protects it. In College Park, it is quoted in writing after the machine is tested.
A tub that will not drain points first at the pump and the path out: filter, hose, and the connection at the disposal or sink, where a shard of glass or a jar label can stop drainage cold. Households in College Park book it through the form below: evidence first, one figure, then the fix.
Slight temperature drift is the expensive freezer fault, because it quietly degrades everything stored while the machine still sounds healthy. Across College Park, that work starts with testing, not guessing.
A gas zone that lights poorly or burns yellow and lazy is telling you about its ports and its air; cleaning and electrode work solve most of it. It is core work in College Park, quoted from the published band after a real diagnosis, never from the symptom alone.
Every job follows the same order: listen to the symptom, test the machine, name the fault with evidence, quote one figure in writing, then repair and prove the repair under load. A quote written before the test is a guess with a dollar sign, and a repair without a proof cycle is a promise instead of a result. No pressure, no mystery pricing, no parts on suspicion: the College Park bargain.
Parts are matched to the machine by model and specification, and wear parts like hoses, lines, and seals are renewed rather than reused when a job opens them up. Where a component has a known better revision, that is what gets fitted, and the old part is available for you to see. The proof, anywhere around College Park, is a machine doing its real work before we leave.
Most common repairs finish in a single visit once the part is in hand. Diagnosis comes first at the published visit range, credited toward the repair when you proceed; the figure you approve is the figure for the work described, and a second fault revealed mid repair is reported before it costs anything. College Park plans around real figures, term time or summer, and this page exists for that.
Reach in coolers, prep refrigeration, and undercounter units in College Park cafes, offices, and small restaurants, triaged by what is at risk inside the box and repaired with the business clock in mind.
Laundry serving tenants, guests, and clients in College Park wears on a schedule rather than by surprise. We repair the machines and report the fleet's condition in writing, per unit, so owners can plan instead of react.
Light commercial cooking in College Park, the ranges and ovens of its cafes, church kitchens, and small restaurants, is serviced in its honest category: tested with thermometers, quoted in writing, and returned to service with readings recorded.
Rental turnovers and tenant calls across College Park are handled with written diagnoses and one figure per job, coordinated with tenants when the manager prefers, and invoiced per unit for clean records.
Recent work in College Park neighborhoods, each card with the repair, the place, and the final cost.
In Hollywood, a dishwasher that had stopped draining traced to a tired pump and a hose sagging at the sink. Both were corrected, and the machine drained clean through two cycles.
A dryer in Calvert Hills ran hot and slow. The element tested weak and the first vent bend was packed; with both addressed, a timed load dried in a single cycle.
The Beltsville call was a range that lit slowly and heated slower. A weak igniter was the cause, replaced and timed across a full preheat.
A garage freezer in Riverdale Park was losing ground in the heat. Dirty coils and a tired gasket shared the blame; cleaned and renewed, it held zero through a hot afternoon.
In Hollywood, a glass top zone quit mid cooking. The element tested open; a new one was fitted and the surface reseated properly.
The Calvert Hills washer stopped with water standing. A jammed pump, cleared and tested, and the machine finished the load it had abandoned.
Costs are the part of appliance repair most often hidden, so this site publishes them. The categories below follow the national guides, refrigeration averaging near $255, cooking near $214, laundry near $184, with a diagnostic visit at $75 to $125 credited toward the repair. The method does not change between a rental turnover and a family kitchen.
The guides put the average job near $179, most of it inside $108 to $251. Simple wear parts live at the low end; cooling systems, boards, and deep access live at the top. The average frames the conversation, then the diagnosis prices the actual machine. That standard holds from Berwyn to Greenbelt, for landlords and owners alike.
Published guides break the averages down by group. Refrigeration repairs average about $255, since cooling faults can involve fans, defrost systems, sealed components, and long temperature verification afterward. Cooking repairs average about $214 across igniters, elements, sensors, and controls. Laundry repairs average about $184, mostly pumps, belts, heating elements, and motors. Built in refrigeration usually sits above the refrigeration average, because access and testing take longer. In College Park, the sequence is the service: tested first, quoted in writing, proven under load.
The diagnostic visit is priced at $75 to $125 in the published guides and folds into the repair when you proceed. What it buys is the end of guessing: the fault identified by measurement and one written figure for the fix, or an honest replace verdict with the arithmetic shown. No pressure, no mystery pricing, no parts on suspicion: the College Park bargain.
Four things move a repair figure: the part, the access, the machine's age, and the platform it belongs to. Labor follows the depth of the machine the part lives in, and parts follow the manufacturer's pricing for that class. The diagnostic visit exists to put all four on the table before you are quoted. The method does not change between a rental turnover and a family kitchen.

David Kim, Owner and Lead Technician
I'm David Kim, owner and lead technician at College Park Appliance Repair Co. I read every quote request myself before anything is scheduled. That means the details you send about a warm refrigerator, a washer that will not drain, or an oven that heats unevenly come to me first, not to a call center. From there, I start with diagnosis before any quote. I want to test the appliance, confirm the fault, and understand what is actually failing before I talk about what a repair should cost for your home.
I keep the pricing here straightforward. The price bands you see on this site come from published national guides, and I label them as such so you know exactly where those ranges come from. They are a starting point, not a promise. When I complete a diagnostic visit in your kitchen or laundry room, that broad band becomes one written figure for your specific appliance and problem. If you approve that figure, that approved figure is the final figure.
College Park housing shapes how I work. I see constant university rental turnover alongside established homeowner streets in Berwyn and Hollywood, and those homes need different things. For landlords and property managers, I document the work per unit so you have a clear record for each address. If an appliance has reached the point where replacement beats repair, I will tell you that plainly too.
Use this form for a repair or an installation. A few honest lines about the appliance and its behavior are enough; we read every request that arrives and respond with the relevant range and the next step toward a written figure.
