Leonardtown has been a county seat a long time, and its houses show it. The seat of St. Mary's County, population about 4,563, the town's in-town streets carry older homes whose kitchens were fitted out in earlier eras and updated since. Wall ovens built into original cabinetry, ranges and cooktops from earlier decades, laundry pairs with long service behind them: the machines here have histories. We are Waldorf Appliance Repair, and we serve Leonardtown from our base in Waldorf, testing first and repairing the appliance in front of us, component by component.
Our Leonardtown work spans the kitchen and the laundry room. We repair wall ovens and ranges, testing bake and broil elements, gas igniters, temperature sensors, and controls and verify the fix against a thermometer through a heat cycle. Cooktop work covers radiant elements, burner assemblies, and switches; refrigerator and freezer work covers cooling failures, fan and defrost problems, compressors, and door seals. We also repair washers and dryers, dishwashers with fill, wash, and drain faults, built in and over the range microwaves, garbage disposals, and ice makers. The brands we service include Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, GE, KitchenAid, and Kenmore. In a town with this much older housing stock, one fact shapes the work: many appliances were built into cabinetry made for them, which makes a sound repair worth more than the same repair on a slide-in unit.
A wall oven in an older Leonardtown home preheated slowly and browned everything on one side. Testing showed the bake element had blistered and was heating unevenly, and the temperature sensor had drifted out of range, so the control kept calling for heat at the wrong times. We replaced the element and the sensor, then verified the oven against a thermometer through a heat cycle until readings held steady across the cavity.
The honest figures are the published national ranges, because no local shop publishes a price list. Angi 2026 data puts the average appliance repair at about $170 nationally, the typical range at $100 to $240, and Housecall Pro puts most jobs between $107 and $249, averaging near $178. By appliance, the national ranges run $100 to $500 for oven, cooktop, and range work, $200 to $300 for a refrigerator, $50 to $450 for a washer, $100 to $400 for a dryer, $160 to $300 for a dishwasher, and $90 to $500 for a freezer. An element or an igniter sits at the lower end of the cooking ranges; a control board or a sealed system job pulls toward the top. Testing tells which end your machine is on.
The first step is always a test, never a hunch. We confirm the failed component with instruments, match the part to the brand and model by part number, and run the appliance through its paces before calling the job done. Older machines sometimes need a part ordered in, and when that is the case we tell you plainly what it means for timing and how to rest the machine safely in the meantime. If testing shows a machine has reached the end of its economical life, we walk through that math honestly rather than sell the repair.
Every Leonardtown job starts with the quote form: your name, your phone number, the appliance and brand, and a short message describing the symptom. On older machines especially, the model number off the label inside the door is gold, because parts families change by production run.
It does, in repair's favor. A replacement wall oven often does not match an older cutout, so swapping the unit can add cabinet work to the appliance bill. When the oven's structure and controls are sound and the failure is an element, a sensor, or an igniter, repairing the unit that already fits is frequently the better money. We will show you both sides of that comparison.
Often, yes. Elements, igniters, sensors, pumps, and valves for the major brands have long parts tails, and the model number decides availability more than the year on the house. Some older models do reach the point where a needed board is no longer made, and when testing lands there, we say so and help you weigh the replacement math.
Published national ranges put the average repair at about $170, most jobs between $100 and $240, oven and range repair at $100 to $500, refrigerator repair at $200 to $300, and dishwasher repair at $160 to $300, per Angi 2026 data. No Leonardtown shop publishes a local price list. The quote form starts narrowing the range to your machine.
The common causes are an element that has blistered or burned through, a temperature sensor that has drifted and misreports the cavity heat, or, on gas units, an igniter gone weak so the burner lights late and cycles short. All three test out in one visit.
We service Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, GE, KitchenAid, and Kenmore across cooking, refrigeration, laundry, and dishwashers. Older Kenmore machines carry several makers behind the nameplate, and the model number tells us which one built yours. Name your brand in the form message, and we will answer.
Use the quote form below. Name, phone number, the appliance and brand, what it is doing or not doing, and the model number. Asking carries no obligation.
Tell us which appliance is down and what it is doing. We read every request that comes in and respond with the published national range for that kind of repair and the next step, starting with a visit to test and confirm the failed part on site.
