Cost ranges $95 to $150
The cost for rebuilding a typical waffle iron or toaster in average condition ranges from $95 to $150 plus shipping, and depends on parts needed and actual labor involved. It is infrequent that the cost will be less than $95
Hint: To give you some idea of possible repair costs please look at the prices of our items for sale. Approximately 85% of the price is the cost of refurbishing plus a very modest profit margin. The remaining 15% is the cost of obtaining good clean, low mileage rebuildable units. Because we rebuild only low mileage units, our repair costs remain realistic and the end result is a piece that is not only safe and reliable but one that is first rate cosmetically. |

ExamplesIf we are presented with a very dirty or worn piece like the examples pictured, repair time skyrockets and cost often becomes unrealistically high. If you are considering having such a piece serviced it will probably make more economic sense to purchase one of our remanufactured units. |

Do-It-Yourself
We do not encourage most do-it-yourselfers to renovate their own appliances. However, some individuals are both qualified and inclined to tackle their own service. |
We won't give away our trade secrets, but we will sell you the proper high temperature appliance wire that we use in our waffle irons and is absolutely necessary to safely service any heat- generating appliances. Please e-mail with the particulars of your repair and we will advise as to what you may need and the cost.
We can also supply cord sets for most appliances. |
