Ive always thought shorts were dangerous.

 

Well, they were during the Larry Bird era, but they've gotten longer since then.

I have a rule of thumb that says whenever you call a professional into your house, you are out $200 as soon as they walk in the door.  But with appliance repairmen, it won't likely be much more.  Because the parts are just that cheap.

As you've said you've watched the Youtube vids and haven't fixed it yourself, I'll assume that you're not willing to do that (although it could reduce the bill to like, $10 or something).

But you've left out a crucial part of the story.  Do you like this particular heater-upper contraption?   You're going to be spending around $200 to fix it.  Another $200 will get a brand new one (or something similar).

I think you have to take five minutes in deep contemplation.  Stare at the thing,  Ask yourself whether you want to spend the rest of your life with it.  Are you committed?

If you aren't, the nice delivery people will often take the old one away for free - thus relieving you of the burden of the separation..

It's not like getting rid of a spouse, really.
