How do brand & quality tier change the parts cost?
Brand and tier adjust the parts portion only — never labour. Value brands such as Beko, Candy, Hisense, Indesit and Ignis have the cheapest, most widely available parts; Hotpoint-Ariston and Whirlpool form the mass-market core, while premium and luxury lines (Bosch, Siemens, AEG, Smeg, Liebherr, Miele, Gaggenau) carry pricier components, often tied to the manufacturer's official channel. Pick a tier in the calculator for a class-typical estimate, or a specific Italian brand to override it.

Is it worth repairing a cooktop?
If the repair quote exceeds roughly half the price of a comparable new cooktop — or the unit is well past its typical service life — replacement is often the better value. Localize the repair range above first, then compare.
