Just fixed the dishwasher with new parts ordered online last week. All for about $60. My wife was sure we needed a new washer, but it looked like an easy fix. Turns out something jammed the impeller and bent a spring that hold down the chopper blade. Thank God for YouTube repair videos,
I bought the dishwasher 2nd hand from a re-sale store about five years ago for all of $30.00. It’s performed flawlessly since. So, over this time period, I’ve spend less than $100 on it. Best deal I’ve ever had. Now I have the $$$ to buy that 55" TV at Costco I have my eye on.

Most home appliances are in fact, quite simple in design and function. I’ve saved probably a couple thousand dollars over the years by repairing my microwave, refrigerator, washer and dryer. Microwave needed a new door safety switch, refrigerator needed a new thermostat, washer had a burnt-out motor relay block (which was deprecated and I needed to replace the whole motor and relay assembly with an updated unit), and the dryer just needed a new drum belt. All of these parts cost less than $200 total, compared to about 10x that for even cheap new replacement appliances.
Though I’m not counting some of the weird tools I needed to remove the washer motor that most homeowners won’t have on-hand...

Careful trusting YouTube for that. Had a friend call me over to help fix the igniter on his gas oven. Internet said cut cables, tie together with wire nuts. New part had a plug on the end. Old part did not have enough slack. I pulled out the drawer below the oven , saw a panel held in with one screw, opened it, and had perfect access to unplug old part and plug in the new one. Fucking wire nuts inside an oven.
