Appliance Repair Vancouver – Fast, Local & Honest Fixes That Just Work

Most appliance repairs in Vancouver range from $150 to $400 depending on the appliance, the brand, and the parts needed. Simpler fixes like replacing a dryer heating element or a dishwasher pump tend to fall on the lower end, while sealed-system refrigerator repairs or control board replacements can run higher. Our diagnostic fee is $139 or $179 depending on the brand, and we waive it completely when you proceed with the repair, so you're only paying for parts and labour. We always provide an upfront quote before starting any work - no surprises.

We offer same-day and next-day service across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Surrey, and Pitt Meadows. While we can't guarantee same-day availability for every call, we prioritize urgent situations - like a leaking washer flooding your floor or a fridge full of food that's warming up. Our vans are stocked with parts for the most common repairs, so most jobs get done in a single visit.

In our experience, dirty condenser coils and a failing evaporator fan motor are the two most frequent causes we see on service calls across Vancouver. Many homeowners assume the compressor has failed, but that's actually rare - compressor issues account for less than 15% of the cooling problems we diagnose. A clogged condenser can make the fridge work harder and eventually stop cooling entirely, especially in dusty environments or homes with pets. We also commonly find faulty thermostats and defrost system failures. Our technicians carry parts for all of these on our service vans, so most fridge repairs are completed in a single visit.

Our diagnostic fee is $139 or $179 depending on the brand, which covers the cost of sending a licensed technician to your home and performing a full inspection of the appliance. However, if you proceed with the repair, we waive that fee entirely - so the diagnostic is essentially free with any completed repair. If you decide not to go ahead, the diagnostic fee still applies. Either way, you'll always know the cost upfront before any work begins.

We use a simple guideline: if the repair costs less than 50% of what a brand-new replacement would cost and the appliance is under 10-12 years old, it's usually worth repairing. In Vancouver, where a new fridge starts around $1,200 and a decent washer runs $800 or more - plus delivery and installation - a $200 to $400 repair often makes a lot more sense financially. That said, if an appliance has needed multiple repairs in the past year or uses an outdated refrigerant, replacement may be the better call. Our technicians will always give you an honest recommendation based on the age, condition, and repair history of your unit.

Yes. Our technicians are certified by Technical Safety BC, which is required for any gas appliance work in British Columbia. This includes gas stove repair, gas oven repair, gas dryer repair, and gas BBQ repair. Gas appliance work involves real safety risks - carbon monoxide, gas leaks, improper combustion - so certification isn't optional, it's essential. We also carry full commercial liability insurance. If any company offers to repair a gas appliance without Technical Safety BC certification, that should be a red flag.

We repair virtually every major appliance brand sold in Canada, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Bosch, GE, Maytag, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Miele, Fisher & Paykel, Viking, Sub-Zero, Thermador, Electrolux, Blomberg, and many more. We also work on premium and luxury brands that other companies sometimes avoid. Our vans carry common replacement parts for the brands most popular in Vancouver, so we can complete the majority of repairs without a return trip.

Loud banging or excessive vibration usually comes down to one of three things: worn shock absorbers or suspension springs, a failing drum bearing, or an unbalanced load. In front-load washers - which are very common in Vancouver condos where space is tight - the shock absorbers wear out over time and allow the drum to move too freely during high-speed spin cycles. If your machine is walking across the floor or sounds like it's about to take off, don't ignore it. What starts as a noise issue can lead to a cracked tub, damaged drum spider, or water leaks if left too long. Our technicians can usually diagnose and fix washer problems in one visit.

Yes. Every repair we complete is backed by a 3-month warranty on both parts and labour. We use OEM (original equipment manufacturer) or manufacturer-approved replacement parts, not cheap aftermarket knockoffs. Before we leave, we fully test the appliance to make sure everything is running properly. If you experience the same issue within the 3-month warranty period, we'll come back and make it right at no additional cost. We're also BBB-accredited with a strong review record on Google, so our reputation is something we take seriously.
