I just repaired an inexpensive ice maker by replacing a limit switch. The part only costs around a dollar. A soldering iron and some Rohs silver solder was all that was needed besides wire snips and a Phillips head screwdriver.

Don't be afraid to repair your own electronics and appliances. Do read up on repair and electricity.

It's a shame how much ends up in a landfill. Repairing instead of replacing is something that needs to come back.

@AmpBenzScientist I do repairs myself. But sometimes it is just not designed to be repaired. For example, the plastic-modeled clips that will break no matter how carefully you try to open it. And I haven't mentioned the epoxy glue. That's a shame. The vendor wants you to buy a new one everytime it break.

@skyblond It's a shame. I also miss 3.5mm aux. Nothing is built to last anymore.
