For the additional cost? No idea. I don't even look at the annual statement of my energy bills (which are increasing).
So that of others ...

For the repair of the pot, there are sometimes problems so the thickness of the sheet is thin (+ very corroded) on the muffler. The gusset is much more solid than the sheet and it is re-cut in the zat of the gusset after a few months.

To overcome this drawback, I prefer to weld a tab between the edge of the muffler (which generally has a large, solid bead) and the pipe about 15 cm away. So far it has held ... or dropped elsewhere when we are relentless on a macabé .... : Mrgreen:

The repairers (of these same boxes), tested on a simple failure (motor power plug disconnected), content themselves 9 times out of 10 to briefly look at the device (dishwasher), to declare it "dead" and to invoice their "performance".

I dealt with this 3 years ago with my dishwasher. The technician came by (billed me $ 50 for the trip) and told me that the engine was finished. In fact I did not believe it (a motor is strong), I had a problem of pump because the evacuation pipe was too high compared to the power of the pump quite simply, therefore no evacuation .
Conclusion: go look at the technical data sheets for use and installation before calling a technician and use your common sense. A dishwasher is a motor, a few pipes and some wiring. A little observation and common sense and you quickly understand how it works.

absolutely, except that the current policy of some manufacturers is that it is practically no longer possible to obtain the brushes. My repairman friend saves me each time my washing machine by "resizing" other brushes, otherwise, you have to replace the "brush regulator" block of the motor, or even the whole motor: 125 euros (It's a Bosch)

Hello,

In most cases a faulty voltmeter (of the Elenco type as here) is repairable because it is often the fuse which has blown or because it is a CMS which has detached from the printed circuit. It is repairable, a fuse can be changed, and even a CMS can be reweld, it is not very difficult. :)

A very good way to fight against the disposable is to repair the disposable, very often it is doable 8) .

what makes me grumble, taking the example of this multimeter, is that the spare battery costs at least one euro more than the device : Cry:
and generally, this kind of device dies by cables: a pair of good test cables: 10 to 15 euros easy!

Ben instead of grumbling, buy no more and take rechargeable 9V batteries!

Test cables also repair themselves. On this multimeter the connection is 2 banana plugs in 4 mm, standard what, and two test probes. All this is easily repaired at no cost. 8)
