I don't know about appliances, but the last few times I tried to repair a failed electronic device I found them to be un-repairable by design.

It is so frustrating to know that all something likely needs is a small surface component, but you can't repair it. Usually this is due to components being epoxied or dipped for seemingly no reason. At least thanks to ebay, you can sometimes find a duplicate broken device that can be harvested for whole PCBs.
