Here is what 91.413 says:

"91.413 ATC transponder tests and inspections.
(a) No persons may use an ATC transponder that is specified in 91.215(a),
121.345(c), or §135.143(c) of this chapter unless, within the preceding 24
calendar months, the ATC transponder has been tested and inspected and found
to comply with appendix F of part 43 of this chapter; and

(b) Following any installation or maintenance on an ATC transponder where
data correspondence error could be introduced, the integrated system has
been tested, inspected, and found to comply with paragraph (c), appendix E,
of part 43 of this chapter."

It would appear that if you could satisfy yourself in some manner
(preferably documented) that "data correspondence error" could not be
introduced either by the repair or your subsequent reinstallation then no
Appendix E recheck would be required.

First flights after reinstallation should include some airborne check of the
system with ATC.

Why not ask the people who just did your check what their opinion is --
realizing that it may not be entirely unbiased.

I just had my biennial transponder/encoder certification (IAW FAR 91.413)
done. The system passed and log book was signed off. On the very next
flight, the transponder acted up. I had it pulled and sent off for repairs
and it is due back Monday with a fresh 8130. Will I need another
transponder/encoder cert IAW 91.413? Don

Here's a realistic idea.

When your transponder comes back, put it in and forget about the paperwork.

I'm fighting that very temptation. However, all too often if a person will compromise once, s/he'll do it again. And I don't want to be that person. As near as I can tell, it's best just to play by the rules. After all, it's a hobby, right? Don

Sounds to me like you have already made your mind up to have the recheck done.
Personnally I would see if the original people who did the check just before the failure will recheck it again for free since they probably want to have good customer feedback. They should be concerned about what kind of reputation they will get.
You should at least ask them about it.
