The Best Appliance Repair Services in Chicago

When your fridge stops cooling on a Friday night, you do not want to read twenty reviews. You want a short list of companies that actually show up. This guide covers the appliance repair services Chicago homeowners call most, what each one is good at, and the questions to ask before you book.

A quick note on how to read this list. It is not ranked by review count or ad spend. Each company below serves the Chicago area and handles major home appliances. Some are family-owned shops. One only services what it sells. Pick the one that fits your appliance, your brand, and your timeline.

A+ Appliance Repair & Maintenance

A+ Appliance Repair & Maintenance is a family-owned appliance repair company serving Chicago since 2015. It is headquartered at 2701 S Indiana Ave and covers both residential and commercial work, seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

What makes it the first call for a lot of Chicago households is the pricing model. Repairs are fixed price per job, not hourly, and you get the number before any work starts. Labor rates come off the Appliance Repair Blue Book, so there is a published standard behind the quote instead of a guess. Washer and dryer repairs start at $199. Refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove repairs start at $249.

The brand coverage is the other reason it stands out. The team is factory trained on roughly 75 brands, which covers everyday names like Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, and GE, and also the high-end machines most shops send elsewhere. Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Viking, and Miele are core specialties, not afterthoughts. Commercial kitchens are covered too, including Hobart, Vulcan, True, and Traulsen.

Good to know:

• Same-day and next-day appointments
• Around 12 months warranty on most replacement parts, 30+ days on labor
• Licensed, insured, and background-checked technicians
• BBB accredited, Angi Super Service Award in 2024 and 2025
• 4.9 star Google rating across more than 1,000 reviews
• Online booking, no phone tag required

Best for: homeowners who want a straight price up front, and anyone with a luxury or built-in appliance that a general repair shop will not touch.

Chicago Appliance Service Company

Founded in 1957, this is one of the oldest appliance repair operations in the city. They work on refrigerators, freezers, stoves, ovens, ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers across Chicago and the suburbs.

The long history shows up in what they will take on. Older machines that newer shops decline are still normal work here. If you have a twenty year old range that you would rather fix than replace, this is a reasonable place to start.

Best for: older appliances and long-tenured Chicago homeowners who want a shop that has seen the model before.

Abt Electronics Service Department

Abt is the big Glenview retailer, and its service department is in-house rather than contracted out. Technicians go through the company’s own training program, and the service area runs roughly 100 miles from the Glenview store, which covers most of Chicagoland.

There is one catch worth knowing before you call. Abt services the products it sells. If you bought your appliance somewhere else, you will need a different company. If you did buy from Abt, the service relationship is long-term and worth using.

Best for: anyone who bought their appliances from Abt.

Fix It Guy Appliance Repair

A family-owned Chicago shop operating since 2007. They cover washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, cooktops, refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, and garbage disposals, and work on the major brands including GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Maytag, Samsung, and LG.

They advertise same-day service and a 90-day guarantee on labor and parts. Hours are Monday through Saturday, with a shorter Sunday window, so plan around that if you need weekend help late in the day.

Best for: standard kitchen and laundry repairs on mainstream brands.

Sure Tech Appliance Service

Sure Tech has been working in Chicago for around 45 years, which is a long run in this trade. Along with repairs they handle appliance installation and garbage disposal work, and they list 24-hour emergency service.

That emergency availability is the differentiator. Most appliance problems can wait until morning. A leaking washer or a failing fridge full of food cannot.

Best for: after-hours emergencies and installation work.

Chicago Appliance Repair

A locally owned shop on North Springfield Avenue, in business since 2011. They cover refrigerators, stoves, ovens, washers, dryers, dishwashers, garbage disposals, and some HVAC work, and they use OEM parts rather than aftermarket substitutes.

They offer emergency same-day service for refrigerators and stoves, and estimates stay valid for seven days, which gives you room to think before committing.

Best for: homeowners who specifically want OEM parts and a written estimate that holds.

Sears Home Services

The national option. Sears has manufacturer-trained technicians and a large Chicago footprint, with same-day and next-day appointments and a six-month guarantee on their work.

Being national cuts both ways. Parts availability across brands is strong. The tradeoff is that you are working with a call center and a routing system rather than the person who will be in your kitchen.

Best for: multi-brand households and anyone with an existing Sears protection agreement.

How to Choose an Appliance Repair Company in Chicago

Four questions sort the good ones from the rest.

Is the price fixed or hourly? Hourly billing means the final number is unknown until the job ends. Fixed price per repair means you approve the cost before work starts.

Is the diagnostic fee applied to the repair? Many Chicago companies waive or credit the service call fee when you go ahead with the repair. Ask directly, and ask what happens if you decide not to repair.

What is the warranty, in months? Get a specific number for parts and a specific number for labor. “Guaranteed” on its own does not mean anything.

Are they licensed, insured, and is the technician background checked? This person is coming into your home. It is a fair question and a good company will answer it without hesitating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does appliance repair cost in Chicago?

Most Chicago appliance repairs land between $199 and $349, depending on the appliance and the part. At A+ Appliance Repair & Maintenance, washer, dryer, oven, and range repairs start at $199, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, and stove repairs start at $249, and wine cooler, vent hood, water heater, and AC repairs start at $299. Pricing is fixed per repair, not hourly, so you get the number before work begins.

Can I get same-day appliance repair in Chicago?

Yes. Several Chicago companies offer same-day or next-day service, including A+ Appliance Repair & Maintenance, which takes appointments seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Same-day availability depends on your location and the time you call, so call early if the appliance is a refrigerator or a leaking washer.

Should I repair or replace my appliance?

Repair usually makes sense if the appliance is under about 8 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new unit. Built-in and luxury appliances tilt further toward repair, since replacement often means cabinetry work on top of the appliance cost.

Who repairs Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Viking appliances in Chicago?

A+ Appliance Repair & Maintenance is factory trained on Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Viking, and Miele, and runs dedicated Chicago service for those brands. Most general appliance shops do not carry parts or training for high-end built-ins, so ask about the specific brand before you book.

Do appliance repair companies in Chicago work on commercial kitchens?

Some do. A+ Appliance Repair & Maintenance handles commercial and foodservice equipment alongside residential work, including Hobart, Vulcan, True, Traulsen, and Manitowoc. Most residential-only shops will decline commercial calls.
