Nortron electric furnace repair / parts - total ripoff...
Nortron (owned by Broan).. I need a few parts following a
fairly nasty power bump / outage. Distributor prices for "official" Nortron parts vs. OEM prices on the same parts gave me a shock.... Sequencer: White-Rodgers 24A34-5 20.00 on ebay, 133.00 from Ecco! 24v relay: W-R 90-370 6.85 on ebay, 86.00 from Ecco 240v relay: W-R 90-380 8.00 on ebay, 127.00 from Ecco. Total W-R parts: 34.85 Total Ecco/Nortron: 346.00, almost 10 times as much. There's something very wrong with this picture....Is this just another example of Canadian distributor ripoffs, or something more serious? |

eBay prices for refrigerator parts are also pretty cheap too. The
distributor is probably also asking for list prices. |

Parts is a profit center. |
