Why appliance repair costs depend heavily on the part needed

Labour is usually the smaller part of an appliance repair bill - most of the variation comes from parts. A common part like a washing machine belt is inexpensive, while a refrigerator compressor can be both expensive and hard to source, especially on older or specialty brand units.
Local note: Check whether your appliance is still under a transferable manufacturer or retailer warranty before booking an independent repair - this can save the full cost of the visit.
