At Bowie Appliance Repair Co., we repair refrigerators, ovens, ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers for homeowners in Bowie, MD. Our days run through kitchens and laundry rooms across the city, from Belair to Woodmore and Fairwood. A fridge warming up overnight. A washer stopped mid cycle, full. Those calls shape the work.
Bowie is a homeowner city: 58,383 residents, with 83.9 percent of homes owned by the people who live in them, so appliances here get repaired rather than quickly replaced. Those building waves filled Woodmore, Fairwood, and Mitchellville with built in ovens, cooktops, and counter depth refrigerators now reaching repair age together. Replacing a built in often means cabinet work too, so a sound repair usually wins.
Older Belair homes run freestanding ranges and basement laundry pairs. Many houses keep a second refrigerator or freezer in the garage or basement, working hard through Bowie summers. Laundry drives the most urgency: a dead washer in a full family house cannot wait a week.
Marcus Reed, Owner and Lead Technician
I am Marcus Reed, and Bowie Appliance Repair Co. is my company. I read every quote request that comes through this site myself, and I am the one who confirms the fault on the diagnostic visit before any repair is quoted. When you deal with this company, you deal with the owner, start to finish.
I built the company around the way I would want to hire a repairman for my own house. The price range for the work is published on the page before you ever contact us. The diagnostic visit comes first, because a written figure means nothing until somebody has actually tested the appliance. And the figure you approve before work begins is the figure you pay when the job is done.
Bowie is home. I know the built in kitchens in Woodmore and Fairwood, the older freestanding ranges in Belair, and the basement laundry pairs that Bowie families lean on every day, because those are the calls this company runs. If your appliance can be repaired well, I will tell you how. If it cannot, I will tell you that too.
Most residential calls follow a familiar shape: one machine fails, the household bends around it for a day or two, and then a decision gets made.
A refrigerator rarely fails all at once. Food softens at the edges first, or a low hum becomes a rattle. We repair Whirlpool, Samsung, GE, LG, and Frigidaire refrigerators, separating cooling faults from air flow faults. Fans, thermostats, defrost parts, and door seals cover most findings.
An oven that heats unevenly ruins more than one meal. Our work covers ovens that will not reach temperature, burners that will not light or stay lit, worn igniters, and drifting sensors. Every unit is heated and checked at temperature before we finish.
A stopped washer causes the fastest stress of any machine. The faults we see most: a washer that will not drain, a drum that will not spin, a front load door that will not lock, and mid cycle leaks. Pump, hoses, and drive parts get checked, and the machine runs empty first.
A dryer tumbling without heat leaves a family with damp clothes. Heat faults usually trace to a heating element, a thermal fuse, or a blocked vent run. We also repair dryers that drum loudly or stop early. The vent gets checked on every heat call.
Water pooled at the door base. Glasses out gritty. A cycle that starts, hums, and gives up. Dishwasher faults sit mostly in the pump, the spray arms, or the water control parts. We repair units that leak, refuse to drain, or leave dishes dirty. Built ins come out carefully, so floors and cabinets stay unmarked.
Chest and upright freezers in garages and basements work hardest in summer. A soft frost line on the lid, or a motor running without stopping, is an early warning. Ice makers fail with stuck arms, blocked lines, and inlet valves that drip or refuse to fill.
Cooktops in newer subdivisions sit flush in counters and islands, clean looking until a burner stops. Glass tops, coil burners, and gas cooktops fail differently. One dead element may be the element or the switch behind its knob; testing separates the two.
A microwave running without heat, or one gone dark, usually points to a door switch, a control board, or an internal fuse. Over the range models get their vent fan and lights checked too. Safety comes first here, since internal parts can hold a charge after the plug is pulled. When age makes a repair unwise, we say so.
The cards below follow the shape of recent work in Bowie neighborhoods, each with its repair type, place, date, and final cost.
The drain pump had weakened, and the hose held a partial blockage near the sink connection. Both faults were corrected during the visit, and the machine ran two full cycles with complete drainage.
Testing pointed to a failed heating element, and the vent run was packed with lint at its first bend. The element was replaced, the vent cleared, and a timed load dried fully in one cycle.
Its temperature sensor had drifted, and the lower element showed a visible weak spot. Both parts were replaced, and the oven was checked at two temperatures to confirm even baking.
The freezer door seal had split along its lower edge, letting humid summer air in. The seal was renewed, the frost cleared, and temperature and ice production were confirmed on a return check.
One element had failed outright; the other traced to a worn switch behind its knob. Both parts were replaced during the visit, and all four elements were run in turn.
Worn shock absorbers were found on both sides of the drum, and the drain filter held lint and small items. Both were corrected, and a full load ran a high spin cleanly.
A freestanding Belair refrigerator cooled its freezer well but left the fresh food section too warm. Testing found a failed evaporator fan and frost blocking air flow between the sections. The fan motor was replaced, the frost cleared, and both sections were rechecked after a full running cycle.
A counter depth built in refrigerator in Woodmore had stopped making ice, its door seal letting warm air in along one corner. The unit came out on its tracks so the water line could be reached without touching the cabinets. A failed inlet valve was replaced, the seal renewed, and the ice maker ran repeated cycles before the unit went back.
A washer in Fairwood filled normally, then refused to drain and left clothes sitting in grey water. Opening the drain path revealed a blocked pump, with a coin and a small sock at the inlet. The pump was replaced, the drain hose cleared and reseated, and the machine ran a full wash and spin cycle with no water left in the drum.
Bowie businesses lean on appliances quietly, but a failure lands fast. A cafe fridge drifting warm. An office kitchen with a dead dishwasher.
Restaurants, cafes, and food shops depend on coolers and prep units holding safe temperatures through a full service day. A unit drifting up a few degrees puts stock at risk long before cooling stops entirely. We diagnose compressors, fans, thermostats, and door seals, testing temperatures under working conditions.
Laundries, gyms, salons, and care settings run washers and dryers far harder than any house; wear shows in pumps, belts, and heating parts. Our work covers drain faults, heat failures, and machines stopping mid cycle under load. Units get tested with real loads afterward.
A range losing a burner mid service, or an oven that will not hold temperature, changes what a kitchen can send out. We repair commercial ovens, ranges, and cooktops: igniters, gas valves, thermostats, and controls. Testing runs at working temperature until the fault is shown gone.
Rentals turn over on tight schedules, and a dead dishwasher or cold refrigerator can hold up a move in. Managers send us faults sitting between tenants, plus mid tenancy failures that cannot wait. Findings come back in clear language, and each machine is tested before the visit ends.
Plenty of repair work looks simple from the outside. The difference shows in how a job gets diagnosed, and whether the same fault returns a month later.
Every job begins with the quote form at the bottom of this page, where you name the appliance and describe the fault. A diagnostic visit follows, built around testing, not guessing. Findings come in plain language, and work starts only once the cost picture is clear. Afterward the appliance runs a full cycle in front of you.
Replacement parts decide how long a repair lasts, so parts we fit match the specifications of the originals. Heating elements, pumps, fan motors, igniters, thermostats, and control boards are matched to the model, not picked as close enough. Dishwasher and ice maker supply lines are braided stainless, and worn hoses, clamps, and fittings get renewed where age shows.
Most repairs start with the diagnostic visit, and a straightforward fault with a part on hand can often finish then. When a part must be ordered, a return visit follows once it arrives. Built in refrigerators and ovens take longer, since the unit must come out and go back carefully. Expect the work area protected and a real test cycle.
No Bowie appliance repair company publishes a local price list, so the figures below come from published guides, labeled that way. Your figure depends on the fault, the part, and the machine.
Published guides put the average appliance repair at about $179 per job, with a typical range of $108 to $251. Faults near the lower end usually involve one accessible part: a switch, a fuse, a belt. Work near the upper end tends to involve cooling systems, control boards, or machines taking longer to open.
Published guides break averages down by group. Refrigeration repairs average about $255, since cooling faults can involve fans, defrost systems, and sealed parts. Cooking repairs average about $214, across igniters, elements, sensors, and controls. Laundry repairs average about $184, mostly pumps, belts, heating elements, and motors. A built in refrigerator usually sits above that average, because access and testing take longer.
A diagnostic visit commonly runs $75 to $125 in published figures, usually credited toward the repair when work goes ahead. The visit finds the real answer, since one symptom like a warm fridge can trace to half a dozen parts. If a machine is not worth repairing, you still leave with a clear finding.
The part moves the price first. A pump and a control board live in different worlds, and a compressor sits beyond both. Access comes next: a freestanding Belair range takes minutes to reach, while a built in oven needs careful removal first. Age matters too: older machines sometimes need a part located.

Age, fault, and the cost of the fix are the three things to weigh. A younger machine with one failed part is usually a sound repair; repeated faults in an older unit point the other way. Built in models tilt toward repair in Bowie, since replacement often means cabinet work too.
We start with what you have noticed and when the fault shows up. Testing follows, suspect parts checked one by one until the fault is found. You get the finding in plain language, and what it will cost.
Yes, and Bowie keeps us busy with both. The 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, Woodmore, Fairwood, and Mitchellville among them, are full of built in ovens, cooktops, and counter depth refrigerators reaching repair age together. Units come out on their tracks or mounts so cabinets stay protected, and each gets tested in place afterward.
We repair Whirlpool, Samsung, GE, LG, Frigidaire, Maytag, Bosch, and KitchenAid appliances as regular service lines, covering most brands fitted in Bowie kitchens and laundry rooms. For another brand, name it in the quote form and we will say plainly whether we work on it.
The form at the bottom of this page asks for your name, contact details, the service you need, and a short message about the fault. We respond with follow up questions that sharpen the picture, then arrange the visit.
Tell us which appliance is failing and how. We read every request that comes in and respond with the published range for that kind of repair and the next step, starting with a diagnostic visit to confirm the fault.
