What affects appliance repair cost

Repair price includes more than the part. Before approval, ask for the total cost and payment rules when repair turns out not to be viable.

Safety rule: stop when there is smoke, sparking, a burning smell, electric-shock signs, an active leak, cracked hob glass or suspected gas. Disconnect only when it is safe to do so.
