So as a follow-up to this thread about repairing my robot, I have a new question. Special thanks to @Mdragger88 for saving me a bunch of money.
I received almost $650 from the extended card services warranty company for the robot. It needs a motor for sure ($300 for parts, $75 for labor) and this summer the cable started sort of "shedding" in my hands, after it was in the pool for a couple weeks while we were on vacation and the FC levels got a little high maybe. Cable tested fine, but that's $230 extra or so (I think I can find it for $180 maybe).
So do I repair just the motor, for $375, do I repair the motor and cable for $550 or so, or do I take the pool store up on their offer of $100 off a new robot and use my warranty money to just buy something new (or buy it online again, I used poolsupply4less last time)?
Considering the rest of the robot is 3 years old, I'm tempted to just get something new, but I'm not 100% sure. Replacing just the motor for $375 is tempting for sure.
