"Right to repair" appliances.

New European Union "Right to Repair" rules.


It will be interesting to see who are deemed to be repair professionals and what are considered specialist tools.

    My parents use the local white goods repair man , £95 per hour + parts.

    in probably 90% of cases it is still cheaper to bin the knackered washing machine than to repair it.

    unless parts and labour are subsidies by the manufacturer this new scheme won’t fly here.

    im all for repairing old stuff but we are so used to cheap throw away white good now and most people will not shell out 200 quid to fix a 225 quid 3 year old washing machine. They would rather bin it and buy another one...
