Repairability is great but it does often come at the cost of efficiency. I found this to be the case with my washer. You can end up spending so much extra on electricity that you could have replaced the washer anyway. This was also the case with my subcompact car. It needed a $400 repair but the entire powertrain is integrated so you have to spend $4000 in labor disassembling and reassembling it.
