Denver Appliance Repair Cost Guide: What to Expect in 2026

One of the first questions homeowners ask when an appliance breaks is: "Is it worth fixing?"

The honest answer depends on two things — the cost of the repair and the age and value of the appliance. This guide gives you real price ranges for the most common appliance repairs in Denver, along with a simple rule for deciding when to repair and when to replace.

Most appliance repair companies charge in two parts:

1. Diagnostic fee — Typically $75 to $125 in Denver. At Denver Appliance Repair, the diagnostic fee is waived when you proceed with the repair.
2. Parts + labor — The cost of the replacement part plus the technician's time to install it.

• Evaporator fan motor: $200 – $350
• Ice maker repair: $175 – $300
