Since you ask for opinions, I wouldn't bother trying to repair it. -- After being targeted with gigabytes of trash by the "SWEN" worm, I have concluded we must conceal our e-mail address. Our true address is the mirror image of what you see before the "@" symbol. It's a shame such steps are necessary. ...Charlie |

For all I know it could be a cracked solder joint that will take 10 minutes and no parts to repair, or it could be a burned out proprietary motor that will be impossible to source. |

Thanks for all opinions. ------------------------------------ Jayne Findhorn: As you probably recognize, you did NOT post any symptoms, detail any initial troubleshooting that you did, the Model number, or history of the unit...... so, are you really expecting a specific and accurate guess as to what it will cost to fix the breadmaker. This is like asking a car mechanic on the phone if your car is worth repairing or should you just buy a new one...... I suppose that if he also sold cars he might tell you to just buy a new car. Because "most" of the techs on this newsgroup do not have mental telepathy or a crystal ball, you will definitely NOT be getting an intelligent or accurate answer..... or even an intelligent guess. This is just not going to happen over the internet or with a telephone call based on the information you are giving out...... a halfway knowledgeable person will actually have to see the unit and perform a basic diagnosis and do some initial troubleshooting. The best suggestion I could give you is for you to look in your breadmaker manual and find out where a Black and Decker service center is that works on the breadmaker..... at the very least you should obtain a repair cost estimate so you can make an intelligent repair decision with actual facts instead of just guessing that it will cost more to fix it than to replace it. What if it would cost just $25 to fix it? $30 ? $19? Get the facts and then you can make an intelligent choice -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair ^ ^ ^ |

Depends on the symptoms. Did one where the only problem was a blown thermal fuse. --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Home Page: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Site Info: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: The email address in this message header may no longer work.
