Why do appliance repairs (dishwasher, laundry, fridge, etc.) seemingly cost as much as the appliances themselves?
In: 5618
This started changing many years ago. There used to be TV repair shops. The technology and marketing changed all of that. The technical knowledge for electronics understanding and repair diminished as single components became integrated circuits with multi layer circuit boards that make it fast and easy for manufacturing but hard or even impossible for trouble shooting and repair.
The electronics technicians became circuit board replacement technicians and appliances became additional landfill. Marketing, interest rates and sales are great contributors to this and maybe the question should be, “Why is my dish washer so cheap?”
We’ve become a throw away culture.
