This is just the nature of electronic controls. One signal line is as

I tried to find a replacement oven with no electronics and had no
luck. My old Whirlpool with mechanical controls lasted almost 40 years
but the can inside finally rusted out.
It was still working fine tho.

I wonder how many appliances are scrapped for minor electronics problems.

Quite a few, particularly with TVs.

Some 20 cent diode fails

Much more often a cap.

and a $400 board is needed for the fix.

You dont see much of that with cars etc.
