You came to fix the compressor and found a burned-out control board, corroded wiring, and a gas leak. The client only approved one repair. SealedScope makes sure every additional discovery is signed before you order the parts.

Every appliance tech has been burned by this

🔧

You diagnose one issue but find two more once the unit is disassembled. The client approved a $200 repair, not a $600 one, and the parts are already on order.

⏳

Older units need discontinued parts. You source an aftermarket replacement that costs more and takes longer. The client blames you for the delay and the price difference.

🔌

The outlet is wrong voltage, the gas line is undersized, or the dryer vent is crushed. You can't safely repair the appliance without fixing the infrastructure first.

Change orders appliance techs deal with on every call

Additional Repairs Found

$150 - $800

Opened the washer to replace the pump and found a cracked drum bearing, corroded spider arm, and worn belt. Each additional repair needs separate approval and parts.

Parts Sourcing & Upgrades

$100 - $500

OEM part is discontinued. Aftermarket replacement requires adapter kits, modified wiring, or a different mounting configuration. Labor time increases and the part costs more.

Infrastructure Issues

$200 - $1,200

Dryer vent is crushed and clogged, dishwasher drain line is too small, or the range needs a dedicated 240V circuit. You can't complete the repair without fixing the setup.

Refrigerant Recharge & Sealed System

$300 - $900

Fridge isn't cooling because the sealed system has a leak. Recovery, repair, and recharge require EPA certification, specialty equipment, and expensive refrigerant.

Water Damage Discovery

$200 - $1,500

Leaking washer, dishwasher, or water heater has caused subfloor damage, mold growth, or warped cabinetry. You found it during the repair. Now the client needs to address it.

Multi-Unit Service Calls

$100 - $400/unit

Client asks you to look at the dryer, the oven, and the microwave while you're there. Each diagnosis is a separate service call with its own parts assessment and labor.
