Had to pick between a new control board or just the relay on a 4-year-old dryer

Customer's dryer wouldn't heat, and the diagnostic pointed to the relay on the main board. The relay itself was $25, but the whole new board was $180. I went with just the relay to save them money, but it took me over an hour to desolder the old one and put the new one in clean. Honestly, I'm not sure the labor time was worth the savings for them in the end. When do you guys decide to replace a whole board versus trying a component fix?

But the relay is the whole problem, right?

Swapped mine out and it fixed everything.
