A simple nonsequitur. You might not wish to do a minor repair to save
$100-400, but some do. And sometimes getting an oven that fits a certain
space can be tricky, repairing is then much quicker.

And of course it's not all about the money. AFAIC, the prime motivation
is not throwing out a perfectly serviceable appliance simply because it
"packed up one day" when the fault most often is the failure of some
minor component costing just pennies.

If there's one thing I can't stomach, it's waste. It's verging on
criminal for someone with an electrical background to not even bother to
investigate the cause of a problem in an electrical appliance.
