When my washer from 1988 (I checked) started having issues, I thought, "These are almost entirely mechanical given the age. I ought to be able to ferret things out myself."
I purchased the repair manual and gambled on the parts that I thought were the problem, plus a couple of cheap parts on either side of where I thought the problem might be. I was able to disassemble the washer, swap out what I thought needed swapping out, and I was done. Worked fine.

- labawi 7y agoIn expensive/rich countries, used quality items in good condition are cheap. People prefer buying new and often get rid of old things that still work. In poor countries, people don't buy new things as much, often are of lower quality and have less apprehension buying used if it's a good deal.
