LG is one of the two highest-volume appliance makes on this fleet, and that is the single biggest downward pressure on these figures. A drain pump, a door boot, an inlet valve, a bake element or an igniter is a stocked item rather than an order, and many of them fit dozens of model numbers. It is also why a common failure is one visit rather than two — the part is on the van or twenty minutes away, not five days out.

What it costs, and what makes it cost that.
Every figure on this site is a starting point rather than a quote, and every one has a page saying what moves it. LG's volume is the single biggest reason these numbers sit where they do: a drain pump, an inlet valve or a bake element for one is stocked at every supply house in Miami-Dade.

Sometimes the honest answer is not to repair it
Where we will say so
A countertop microwave with a failed magnetron. A dishwasher whose tub has gone. A fifteen-year-old cabinet facing a sealed system and a control board in the same visit. In each of those the parts and the labor approach what a new machine costs, and we would rather say so before the work than present it afterwards. The opposite is also true and is said just as plainly: a built-in microwave, a wall oven or a ventless dryer is almost always worth repairing, because most of what you paid for is the installation.
Before you book
What makes a quote accurate
The model number, off the appliance
- Refrigerators: inside, on the left wall of the fresh food compartment.
- Washers and dryers: inside the door opening, or on the back panel.
- Ranges and wall ovens: on the frame behind the door, or under the cooktop.
- Dishwashers: on the edge of the door, visible when it is open.
What the machine is reporting
- A code on the display, written down exactly — including the letter in front of it.
- On a refrigerator, hold Freezer Temperature and Express Frz together for three seconds to bring the last code back.
- On a laundry machine with no numbers, count a full blink sequence and photograph it.
- Do not cut the power first. A code that has been reset is information nobody has.
The work itself
What each job involves
Each cost page is paired with the service it belongs to, so the figure and the work are never two different lists.
-
from $95 Diagnostic visit
One visit, one technician, one answer in writing. On this make the diagnostic starts with something most makes cannot offer: the appliance usually has something to say. LG publishes code lists for its refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers and ranges, and on the machines with no display it publishes what the blinking lights mean instead. Reading that properly is half the job and it costs nothing to do.
- The model number and whatever the appliance is reporting, read before anything is opened
- Blinking-light patterns included, because LG documents them and that makes them codes
- Written findings and a from-price before any part is ordered
-
from $125 Appliance maintenance
The visit that stops the other visits. Most of what fails on an LG in this city fails because of something that could have been cleaned: a condenser packed with dust, a dishwasher filter nobody has taken out, a dryer duct that has been closing for three years. None of it is glamorous and all of it is cheaper than the repair it prevents.
- Condenser, filters, seals, drains and levels on whatever you have
- Written findings, so you know what is aging before it fails
- Priced on time rather than per appliance
-
from $145 Appliance installation
Delivery is not installation. A machine that has been put in place is level, connected, tested, and standing with the clearances its manufacturer specifies — and on LG's ventless laundry and its built-in cooking there are specifics that get missed often enough to be worth naming.
- Leveled and tested, not just connected and left
- Clearances checked, because a built-in with no vent path fails in August
- Gas connections leak-tested and documented
-
from $155 Refrigerator not cooling repair
The most common repair on this badge and the one where the order of work matters most. Air first, then defrost, then the sealed system — a sequence that goes from free to expensive and that anybody quoting a compressor over the phone has skipped two thirds of.
- Demo mode and blocked vents are ruled out before anything is opened
- LG publishes three separate fan codes and the usual cause of all three is ice
- The sealed system is measured with gauges, never assumed
-
from $175 Defrost system repair
The slow failure that takes three weeks to show and then takes the whole cabinet. A refrigerator melts its own evaporator clear every few hours; when that stops, ice grows across the airway until the compartment above it can no longer be fed. LG publishes dS for the sensor half of the circuit and the rest is measured.
- Heater, sensor and control — three parts, one circuit
- The cabinet is defrosted properly first, which is time before any part
- Frost on the back wall is this, not the fan and not the gas
-
from $165 Evaporator fan repair
LG puts a sensor on its fans, so a blocked or stopped blade is reported rather than left for you to work out from a warm compartment. Three of them are named separately — CF in the machine room, FF in the freezer, rF on the fresh food side — and in this climate the usual cause of all three is ice rather than a dead motor.
- Three fans, three codes, three different access routes
- Ice is the cause more often than the motor, and that changes the repair
- The compartment has to be emptied and often thawed first
-
from $125 Condenser cleaning service
The cheapest thing on this list and the one that prevents the most expensive. The condenser is the coil that throws the heat away, and in a coastal kitchen it fills with dust, hair and salt air until the compressor is working against a blanket. LG codes the fan over it as CF; nothing codes the coil itself, which is why it goes unnoticed for years.
- Coil, fan and machine room, properly rather than a brush at the front
- Nothing reports a dirty coil — it is found by looking
- It lowers the running temperature, the noise and the bill
The rule that never moves
No final price is published anywhere on this site
Every figure here is a from. The exact cost is confirmed on site after the diagnostic and agreed in writing before anything is opened, ordered or charged. Anyone who quotes a repair over the phone without measuring is guessing with extra confidence, and it is usually the customer who pays for the confidence.
Before you call
Questions about price
Where do these figures come from?
They are researched market bands for South Florida — what the same part and the same labor go for here, narrowed by what the part actually is on this equipment. They are not averages of our invoices and they are not quotes.
Is the diagnostic charged on top?
It pays for the diagnosis, which is real work. If you go ahead with the repair it comes off the bill, so you pay it once either way.
Does the LG compressor warranty change the number?
Considerably, and it is worth checking before anybody quotes. LG's linear compressors carry a long parts warranty that follows the machine rather than the owner, so a cabinet bought used can still be covered. What it does not cover is the labor, the gas or the drier — which is why a covered machine still has a real number on it, just a much smaller one.
Why is the same repair a different price on a wall oven?
Access. A wall oven is screwed into joinery, carries its weight on a cabinet built around it, and has to be drawn out on a stand before its back is reachable. The electrical work is identical; the time is not.
In more detail
How to read a figure on this site
Every number is a floor
The band exists because the same job is not the same work on two machines. What the part is, where it sits, whether the appliance is built in, and what it has done to itself while the problem was ignored all move it. Each cost page names the three things that move that particular job, which is a more useful thing to publish than an average.
What is not in the number
Nothing is opened, ordered or charged before you have agreed to it in writing. If a second problem turns up while the machine is open, it is quoted rather than done — and a job that turns out to be free, which happens more often on this make than most, is a diagnostic and nothing more.
Tell us the model and what it is doing.
On this make that is usually enough for a useful range before anybody sets off, because the appliance has normally already said something.
