If I want to play The Oven Repair Game, I better pony up around $100, just to be dealt a hand.
That’s about what it costs for the technician to show up and tell me what’s wrong. It could be something minor, or it could be something major. If it is the time/ temperature module, the cost of that part costs almost as much as a new range.
Think about it. The components of a range are heating elements, sheet metal, and the electronic control module. Guess which part is the most expensive? Yep. What went bad or, best case scenario, what might be going bad.
So I’m not paying for a technician to show up and tell me my range isn’t worth fixing. I can’t blame the repair people. They have a business to run and it costs money to send technicians on a call.
It’s not really a game.Reality, as in what it takes to run a business, sets the terms and conditions.

being an adult is not easy but being a Grandparent is good when you get the hugs.
Seems this world is about replacing rather then fixing. As the problems are usually computer related all the electronics that we have gotten accustom to using. I remember replacing tubes in the television. Taking them out putting on the tester. Ah for the good old days.
Oh yes. Both my brothers would do that. This module may not be the problem, but do I want to spend $100 to find out?
that is the burning question
