Half the shops I rang in Denver heard the word Gaggenau and gave me somebody else's phone number. This one sent a technician who already knew the steam generator, found it caked with mineral scale from our water, and had it cleared and running by late that afternoon. I had braced myself for a fortnight of waiting on a part and instead it was one visit.

$89 Diagnostic Service Call
Prices shown are starting estimates only. An $89 diagnostic service-call fee applies and is credited toward the repair when you proceed. The final price is quoted after on-site diagnostics — premium appliances vary widely by model, part, and fault, so an honest number is only possible once a technician has seen the unit.

| Refrigerator Repair | $149+ | sealed-system compressors, dual evaporators, door gaskets, temperature control, ice and water dispensers |

What our $89 diagnostic actually covers
This isn't a truck-roll fee tacked onto a mystery bill later — it's the full cost of finding your problem, and it comes off the repair if you go ahead with us.
- A technician who has actually opened this model before, not a generalist reading a manual on the drive over
- Full teardown and testing of the failed component — compressor, control board, water valve, igniter, whatever the symptom points to
- A written, itemized quote before any repair work starts, not a verbal ballpark
- Altitude checks on gas ranges, cooktops, and ovens, since a Denver burn profile is not a sea-level one
- A hard-water inspection on ice makers, dishwashers, and steam ovens if scale is a plausible culprit
- The $89 applied directly to your invoice the moment you approve the repair — it is never charged twice
- No pressure to decide on the spot; you can take the quote and think it over
- A straight answer on repair-versus-replace math when a unit is old enough that the math matters
Why we quote after diagnostics, not before
Anyone who gives you a firm number over the phone is guessing.
A refrigerator that won't cool could be a $40 gasket or a $600 sealed-system leak, and the two look identical from a homeowner's description. That's true whether it's a builder-grade unit or a built-in package in a Country Club estate. We've been called out to "the same problem" twice in one week and found a failed evaporator fan in one kitchen and a compressor start relay in the other. The only honest way to price a repair is to look at the actual part, in the actual appliance, in front of the technician doing the work.
So our process is simple: the $89 covers the visit and the diagnosis, we tell you exactly what's wrong and what it costs to fix, and you decide from there. If the price surprises you, you're free to say no and just pay the diagnostic fee. Most people don't, because our quotes tend to land where they expected, but the option matters to us more than the sale.
Every estimate we give is a starting point tied to that specific finding, not a menu price. Parts availability, the age of the unit, and whether we're pulling a range out from a tight rowhome galley all factor in before we finalize a number — and we say so before you commit to anything.
What actually moves the price up or down
Part cost is the obvious variable, but it's rarely the only one. A control board on a high-end built-in wall oven costs more than one from a mid-range freestanding model, and OEM-quality, factory-spec parts for premium brands simply aren't priced the same as generic replacements — we use them anyway, because a repair that fails again in six months isn't cheaper.
Access matters too. Pulling a French door refrigerator out of a custom cabinet surround in a historic Cherry Creek North rowhome takes longer than servicing a freestanding unit with three feet of clearance on every side. Front Range hard water adds its own line item on ice makers and dishwashers — sometimes it's a five-minute descale, sometimes a valve has already scaled shut and needs replacing. We flag which situation you're in before we quote, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the $89 fee charged even if I don't proceed with the repair?
Yes, the $89 covers the technician's time and diagnostic work. If you decide not to move forward with the repair after seeing the quote, that fee still applies since the diagnosis has already been done.
Can I get a repair price over the phone before you come out?
We can give you a rough range based on similar past jobs, but a firm number only comes after the technician opens the appliance and confirms the actual failure. Quoting blind tends to lead to bad surprises for everyone.
Do your repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. Parts and labor are backed by a workmanship warranty, and details are confirmed in writing on your invoice at the time of repair so there's no ambiguity later.
Are you an authorized Sub-Zero or Wolf repair service?
No, we operate independently and are not affiliated with or authorized by Sub-Zero, Wolf, or any other manufacturer. We use OEM-quality, factory-spec parts and have serviced these brands extensively across Cherry Creek's luxury homes.
Does Denver's altitude or hard water affect what I'll pay?
It can. Gas ranges and ovens sometimes need altitude recalibration that a generalist tech would miss, and hard water can leave ice makers or dishwasher valves scaled to the point of needing replacement rather than a simple cleaning — both get flagged in your diagnostic before we quote a fix.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars, based on 168 customer reviews.
Our house off Country Club dates to the 1920s and the refrigerated drawers are wedged into original cabinetry with about an inch of clearance either side. He pulled the unit, replaced a dead thermistor and put the whole thing back without leaving a scuff on the woodwork, which was honestly the part I was most nervous about. The drawers have sat at 38 degrees ever since.
Ingrid MalinowskiWhat won me over was that he actually opened the cooktop up. The whole right side had gone unresponsive and I had already been told elsewhere that induction glass is not really serviceable and I should budget for a new one. It was a ribbon cable to the touch controls, and the bill was a small fraction of a replacement.
Rafael QuintanillaRan the self-clean cycle overnight and woke up to an oven with no power to it whatsoever. A blown thermal fuse, replaced without any drama — but the genuinely useful bit was the few minutes he spent explaining why that cycle cooks those fuses in the first place and what to do instead. Fifteen years of owning ovens and nobody had ever mentioned it.
Beatrix NyongoThe 500 series has been in this kitchen for thirty years and I fully expected to be told its time was up. Instead he tracked down where it was losing refrigerant, brazed the leak, recharged it, and gave me a frank rundown of which parts are still obtainable if something else lets go. It is holding temperature the way it did a decade ago.
Sullivan ReidyFour stars, and the missing one is entirely about scheduling. The door seal on our wine column had gone and the glass fogged over every evening; our appointment was pushed back twice, the second time the day before, so we took time off work for nothing. The technician who eventually came was excellent — showed me exactly where the seal had deformed, replaced it, and the glass has stayed clear since. Good work, frustrating run-up to it.
