General alarm cost planning: The source-listed safety check is usually €0. €60–€140 is a typical Europe planning range for diagnosis before parts; it is not AEG pricing. Ask for separate diagnosis, parts, labor, and call-out lines on the quote.
General alarm time plan: 5–10 minutes to document and isolate safely; 30–90 minutes is a typical diagnostic visit before any model-specific repair.
