Repair Café Delft: diagnose together before buying a replacement

On 1 August from 11:00 to 14:00, Repair Café Delft opens at Stanislas via the Pootstraat entrance and at Papsouwselaan 224. Walk-ins are possible, but registration is advised.

• The Delft group recorded its 10,000th repair and 100th volunteer in 2025. It is a community system accumulating parts knowledge and local experience, not an occasional market.
• Bring portable appliances, electronics, clothes or other manageable faults, but not every brand or problem can be solved on the day. Write down symptoms, timing and attempts first.
• Volunteers diagnose with owners where possible. Replacement parts, consumables or a voluntary contribution can cost extra; repair is not a guarantee of free restoration.
• Bring power cables, chargers, manuals, accessories and anything needed to reproduce the fault. Without one proprietary lead, testing may be impossible.

Hokimi field note: Record the fault on a phone and note when behaviour changes. If an intermittent problem refuses to appear at the table, that evidence is better than saying it sometimes fails.
