ok so its almost that time of the year when you are going to need your cooker ours packed up 'i.e.the oven wouldn't heat up.' So with keyboard and mouse I ask the internet for a quote after the usual BT wait I find these people. they go under the title repaircare. they quote £119 all in. Thats parts labour every thing.so I made booking. the following day a man called me on the phone saying he was the engineer that would do the repair. He asked me what the oven model number was after I told him I couldn't find it he asked for the serial number and when I told him there was none visible he got very rude and pointed out that he was not prepared to come out to me all the way from bournemouth for just a few pounds. I asked him what he meant by that and he stated that the component would cost £134 which I told him he had no chance of getting after the quote of £119 fromrepaircare.
as it happened. I looked on Ebay for a fan oven element and got it for£7 A visit to you tube gave me instructions on replacing it and job done £7. do not let repaircare rip you off.
