Encouraging a private individual to repair an electrical appliance is very dangerous!
And if, during his tinkering, he forgets to switch off the meter or unplug the plug ( washing machine, stove, oven, dishwasher, etc etc ) with his wet hands, in the kitchen or bathroom . 220V is deadly and through windings or transformers, it is even more deadly . Remember the tragedy of Cloclo and leave electricity to the PROS .

OP3 years agoNo, I’m not an electrician at all, and I’m retired too. I repair bikes, toys, furniture, and all low-voltage (battery-powered) objects. Imagine that someone puts their wet arm into the body of a washing machine (for example), and that in the heat of all their many maneuvers they forgot this time to unplug it. That person will stay stuck to the machine, and if there isn’t someone who cuts the power immediately, electrocution is guaranteed. (Besides, all the instructions for 220 V appliances say that the customer must never open the appliance, and even if the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a pro!) Not everyone is handy, and for many people that would be reckless, with a risk of death.

Mentor3 years agoGood evening
With "ebay repair"...
With eBay repair, the marketplace supports self-repair and focuses on the sale of spare parts (neomag.fr)
Who will benefit from this initiative.... ?.. or who will be the sucker...? ...
repair tutorials already exist on YouTube... and eBay is going to appropriate them...??.. or will it pay royalties to existing content creators.. ?
Could there be some AI hidden behind it...?

You’re right.... you have to be careful about everything, really everything...
- you can drown taking a bath.... so take a shower.. but don’t slip in it..!
- you can break a leg going down the stairs... so stay at home...
etc.. etc...
If you go through all the possible accidents, you’ll never get out of the woods (and here too.... be careful, you might get poisoned..!)
Now, if you have to call an electrician for the slightest little thing, or change a lightbulb.... I don’t see what physics classes are for, where you learn (well, in theory..) the basics of electricity and other horrors that scare the hell out of you...
Paternalism may be good... but like good things, you shouldn’t overdo it...
Were you doing a sneaky ad here.. ?? - this isn’t the place...
Regards
and leave Cloco where he is...

cloclo was a compulsive obsessive, unable to stand, for ex, that a wall light could be crooked in his bathroom....

At electricians' rates (and artisans' rates in general), it's better to do as much of the repair work yourself as possible.
What is the point of your message? Are you an electrician?
