# DCS hood light and switch repair cost

### Why this figure is a from

A cheap repair that is usually years overdue by the time somebody calls. The figure depends on whether the cause is heat, which is the indoor version, or water, which is the outdoor one and travels further.

### What we will not do

We do not quote a repair over the telephone from a description, and we do not publish a final price anywhere on this site. Both are the same rule. On this badge there is a second reason: most of this equipment is set into something a mason built, and until the surround has been seen, half of any estimate is missing. There is a third. Salt does not age two kitchens at the same rate, and a fixing that has seized turns a twenty-minute part change into an afternoon. We would rather establish all of that than guess at a number.

What moves this figure

from $125, and the three things that move it

Masonry and distance from the water are quoted separately — both change the hour

Confirmed on site in writing, and we say when a repair is not worth doing

Which half is dead

Lights alive with no blower, or the reverse, points at a control or one circuit. Everything dead points at the supply or the board, and those are different prices.

Heat-aged or water-aged

Lamp holders cooked above a high-output range are replaced in place. Water in an outdoor switch housing has usually traveled along the loom and the repair goes back further.

Whether the housing can be re-sealed

Repairing the circuit and leaving the route the water takes means selling this page twice. Re-sealing is included.

### Why is it a from and not a price?

Because the same job is not the same work on two machines. Outdoors there are two large variables before a part is named: what the machine is set into, and how long the salt has been working on it. Either can change the hour, and a seized fixing can change it more than the component being replaced. The exact cost is confirmed on site, in writing, before anything is opened.

### Is the diagnostic on top of this?

The diagnostic is from $95 and it comes off the repair when you go ahead. Where the finding is that the machine is not worth mending — or that the problem belongs to the gas supply or the building's power rather than to the appliance — you have paid for the answer and not for a part.
