How to use the result

Coverage is determined by the actual warranty or service contract and approved claim, not by this calculator. Confirm eligibility before making a decision.

What the calculator does not know

This site does not diagnose faults or provide repair instructions. Stop using items that may be unsafe, recalled, electrically hazardous, fire-damaged, structurally compromised, leaking dangerous substances or otherwise safety-critical, and follow manufacturer, recall-authority and qualified service-professional guidance.

Improve the estimate

Keep the inputs used for the decision and compare the estimate with actual results. A simple calculator is most useful when it makes the assumptions visible enough to learn from the difference.
