A big trade policy change kicked in on June 23, 2025, and another on August 1. Together, they\u2019re making refrigerators, washers, ovens, and dishwashers more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here\u2019s the good news: you can avoid paying those inflated prices by fixing your existing appliances yourself. We\u2019ll explain what\u2019s driving prices up, which brands are most affected, and seven easy, cost-effective repairs you can tackle yourself to keep more money in your pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Changed in 2025?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two major tariff changes are now in effect:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>June 23, 2025:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The U.S. doubled its steel and aluminum import duty to 50%, raising appliance prices by around 5\u201310% on metal-heavy products.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>August 1, 2025:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A new 25% country-specific tariff was added to appliances imported from Japan and South Korea, stacking on top of the metal tariff for some brands.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your appliance breaks down this year, you\u2019re looking at a bigger bill for a new one. But that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re out of options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Steel Tariffs Hit Your Appliances<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the simple version: the U.S. now charges a hefty fee on imported steel and aluminum. Since appliances are made with a lot of steel (frames, drums, and panels, etc), manufacturers pass those costs on to you. This translates to about 5\u201310% more at retail on imported models.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The duty applies only to the steel and aluminum content, not the full appliance price, but the impact still adds up, especially on large appliances like refrigerators, washers, and dishwashers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sticker-Shock Math: What It Looks Like at the Store<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what appliance retailers and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) are showing so far in 2025:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Front-load washer: was $899 \u2192 now <\/span><b>$950\u2013$990<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stainless fridge: was $1,899 \u2192 now <\/span><b>$2,050\u2013$2,100<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electric range: was $1,199 \u2192 now <\/span><b>$1,275\u2013$1,320<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CPI data shows appliance prices already up 3% year-over-year before June, and now projected to climb 8% or more by fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25% Tariff on Japan &#038; South Korea (Aug 1, 2025)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of August 1, the U.S. imposed an additional 25% tariff on appliances imported from Japan and South Korea in a reciprocal trade move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For certain brands, this new country-specific duty stacks on top of the existing 50% metal tariff. So some models now carry a double hit at retail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Which products get hit twice?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Samsung &#038; LG:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most refrigerators, dishwashers, and dryers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sony &#038; Panasonic:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Countertop appliances and specialty products<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes repair even more attractive if you own one of these brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Brands Are Hit Hardest?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some brands build their appliances in the U.S., while others rely heavily on imports.
