Jason and the Argonauts search for an electrical in-law

We had a customer come in today with an stove top element. He brought it in because it came from a stove on which the ID sticker had come off so we couldn’t identify which element he needed without seeing it. We tell our customers they must not fit electrical parts if they are not qualified and we get lots of people assure us their brother-in-law or son or somesuch relation will be doing the work.

This customer would have preferred to buy off the internet, presumably having it fitted by a mythical electrical in-law, but without stove ID he was struggling to identify the part. Its lucky he came in. Our technician noticed it had some corrosion on the points where it connects into the element socket. The wiring of his stove needs attention and had it continued to be used with a new element, it was a fire hazard.

Its hard to accept that electrical work which seems easy should be done by an appliance repairer; but if you fit electrical parts you are not only putting the insurance on your house at risk if there is a fire, but far more importantly, the lives of yourself and your family.

Our electrical parts are warranted for peace of mind, and we source them from reputable suppliers.
