What moves the price
- Age and brand of the appliance — parts for older or less common brands can be harder to source and cost more.
- Parts needed — an appliance fault needing a new compressor or motor costs far more than a seal or fuse.
- Complexity of the fault — a simple appliance repair follows a routine; a complex one does not.
- Technician's experience — someone who knows your brand of appliance often finds the fault faster.
