Time on Site

Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• Do you supply the replacement bushings and is there a parts warranty
• Are you an appliance engineer with experience on my oven brand/model
• How do you charge for diagnosis versus repair and is call-out deducted from the job
• If you find further damage (motor, bearings) how will you estimate extra cost and timescale
• Will you test electrical safety and provide a written note or invoice for the work
• Do you need oven model number or manufacturer manual before visiting
How to Avoid Surprises
• have the oven model number and a clear photo of the fault to hand
• clear space around the oven and remove dishes or items from nearby worktops
• confirm parking/access for the engineer and whether the oven needs to be pulled forward
• ask the tradie to confirm whether they will bring common bushings or need to order parts
• keep pets away and ensure a power supply is available for testing
