Response to several requests are ignored.
Would seem that the common thought would be small claims court, but there are costs to initiate ($300). Then looking at the process, it appears that the process is too complex and time consuming for the average lay person. Getting legal assistance would cost more than the original loss.

In the best case scenario, repair person would owe you the depreciated or market value of a 6 year old appliance. These days an appliance might last you 10 years and they would owe you 40% of a brand new similar appliance. Might want to see what the repairmen might do for you.
