I got another guy and he fixed it in 10 minutes!! I asked the second guy about the safety aspect and he said there was no problem, it'll be fine for another 40 years!! When you don't know, you have to accept what 'experts' tell you.
I get angry about the injustice of it. After all, we can't afford to pay these high prices and as customers depend on the professionals to be truthful with us.

Thats the reason I started the thread tick tock, people get ripped off so much. the main problem is the 'experts' are sales oriented and their time costs a bomb.
Also beware if they try to sell you somthing new saying it will cost too much to repair, and also offer to take your old unit off your hands for a small discount on the new one. they'll repair it cheaply and sell it on for profit.
buyer beware as they say!
