So, Your Appliance Is Broken
When appliances break around the house, it’s always a headache. Your routine is thrown off because laundry piles up or you have to wash all your dishes by hand while you wait for someone to come fix it.

Range hood
The average repair bill for a range hood runs $264. Unless you’re rocking a professional chef quality range hood (which can easily dip into four figures), you might want to consider replacing it with a new one for around the same price. Before you buy, try cleaning out your old, dusty range hood to see if that works.
