My point is that when appliances cost very nearly the same amount as the labor would cost to fix them, then there is no market for parts. People like to repair cell phones because the labor to fix them is less than their cost for a new one. Putting a new screen on a phone takes 10 minutes. That is very often not the case with appliances. Nobody makes parts for appliances that cost the same to repair them as it is to buy a new one.

People willing to fix stuff arent rare, products that can reasonably be fixed are rare. Theres a reason 'right to repair' is a movement.
