Whirlpool price increase :twisted:

[Dave_Conway]

Could somoene else check the price of Whirlpool part number 4812 452 28665. SIOS shows a list price of £38.63 but apparently they have increased the price to £118.17 without notice 😯 😯

Cheers

Dave.

Indeed, and the customer has already paid for it and it’s been sent 🙄

No results in Google but that must be getting on for almost half the cost of a new one these days.

I’d love to hear Whirlpool’s explanation for a single component that constitutes that amount of money in relationto a new appliance. Unless of course it’s an “error” on the system.

What about this one then, as on the Connect site, so you need to allow for their little bit.

Whirlpool 481225998465 Circular Element SRP £70.49. It is only a bog standard element. How do they justify that one?

We are being priced out of the market-place. Add a labour fee, try and charge that price as retail, and you are touching £150 if you are Vat registered. It just doesn’t stack up.

This must be set by those that think as the sales are down, they can capitalise on the repairs & spares, failing that, the consumer will replace the product. Have they considered the fact that said consumer will not be brand loyal. In most cases this oven comes with the house as built in.

Wer’e doomed Cp’t Mainwaring, Doomed!
