Part readings, priced apart by frame
| Part row, Frame A | Reading | Frame A note |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat | $15-$60 | part only |
| Cycling thermostat | $15-$60 | part only |
| Thermal fuse | $5-$18 | part only |

| Control board | $90-$280 | part only |
| Drum rollers | $20-$55 | part only |
| Lint filter | $10-$35 | part only |
| Drum bearings | $20-$60 | part only |
Each reading is one part row, printed as a part alone in Frame A. Frame A detail lines: a service call at $50-$80 plus labor at $50-$100 per hour. Vent lines stand apart from the repair visit: vent repair at $75-$150, vent replacement at $100-$300, and a budget line of $150-$300 more if the vent also needs attention.
Fitted lines behind the part rows
| Frame B row | Reading | Frame B note |
|---|---|---|
| Repair band | $100-$300 | average band |
| Belt replacement | $100-$250 | parts and labor counted |
| Service call | $70-$130 | diagnostics and first hour of labor |
The fitted lines stand in Frame B. Frame B counts the fitted job: its belt line counts parts and labor together, where Frame A prints the belt as a part alone. Frame B prints no by-problem table and no by-part table; its three lines stand as printed, apart.
Part against part, frame against frame
A thermostat stands at $15-$60 as a part alone in Frame A while a control board stands at $90-$280 and a motor at $60-$150 -- three readings of one visit, priced apart by part. Frame B prints the same border in fitted lines: its belt replacement counts parts and labor together at $100-$250, where the Frame A belt row counts the part alone at $14-$32. The heating-element job stands on its own guide in this cluster, priced as the single job. The frames price the same job apart -- a drive belt at $14-$32 parts only in Frame A against $100-$250 fitted, parts and labor counted, in Frame B; the repair band at $100-$430 most pay in Frame A against a $100-$300 average in Frame B; and a service call at $50-$80 in Frame A against $70-$130 in Frame B -- a frame difference, never averaged, never blended.
The neighbours named apart
Named apart, never a row here: the washing machine repair, refrigerator repair, and oven repair clusters, each a different machine; and the standing washer-dryer repair cost guide, the pair companion, never rebuilt -- this cluster prices dryer repair, the dryer visit alone, never the pair.
