What everyone else says about liability I second. But, is there a 3-
wire or a 2-wire power cord, is the basin metal or plastic, two
zillion things you haven't told us about!!!!

Does not really matter, any unlicensed repair will void the warrentee and
responsibility will fall RIGHT ON :-? the repairer.


** What "license" is needed to repair such an appliance ????

BTW The maker's warranty must have long ago expired because the unit was
being used commercially.

I suppose Authorised would be a better word but whatever the risk will
go with the repairer.
And Warranty, of course you are right, but if it was ever properly
tested, UL CE or whatever applies in the location will be void.
