Repairing an appliance takes expertise, time, and replacement parts. Add all of that up with a fair price for the technician and it comes out to about the same price as a new unit just because of the economy of scale for manufacturing. Basically, it’s not because repairing is expensive, but because making new stuff is cheap. Repairing made more sense in a time when such items were harder to come by, but with such optimized production and delivery processes, they are much more accessible.
