What changes an LG repair bill
- Brand tier — proprietary Korean OEM parts with limited third-party equivalents and frequent model-to-model changes; distributed in NZ through an authorised spare-parts channel, above the domestic budget brands
- Parts vs labour — the brand and tier shift the parts price; labour tracks your area's wage index, not the brand.
- The specific fault — a sensor, seal, or valve is far cheaper than a compressor, motor, or control board.
- DIY vs professional — Most LG repairs are a professional job — this brand's parts and diagnostics usually need a qualified technician.
