What changes an AEG repair bill
- Brand tier — tier median (parts pricing not separately sourced) — Premium European (Electrolux group); imported components raise repair cost.
- Parts vs labor — the brand and tier shift the parts price; labor 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 AEG repairs are a professional job — this brand's parts and diagnostics usually need a qualified technician.

Common AEG problems
Washing machines are known for heating-element, door-lock, and drain-system failures (pump not draining, drum not spinning from belt or motor wear); dishwashers commonly show drainage faults leaving standing water and dishes coming out dirty or streaked; ovens develop heating-element or thermostat faults causing uneven or absent heat.
Is AEG expensive to repair?
AEG (an Electrolux brand) is generally regarded as solid mid-to-premium tier with good build quality; the electronic control board is the costliest failure point. Reasonably well stocked in South Africa via Electrolux's distribution network and third-party suppliers, though availability and pricing lag behind locally manufactured brands like Defy.
