Really? ... The door latch on my electric dryer snapped off, so I went to the Internet, found a guy fixing the excat same Roper dryer, then bought the part and installed it myself. I also swapped out a heating element for another dryer. Many of the parts on these ‘unfixable machines’ are modular, so the things can be assembled bu dummies. Replacing the part is a matter of discovering how the thing was assembled and purchasing the replacement part.
Well so far I have known about 6 people including me who have junked great cars because the computer replacement parts cost way more than the car was worth.
