Yeah. I used to think along those lines, but you really can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
The old appliances could be repaired, but new ones mostly can't. They are not designed to be. Especially controls. You have to replace the entire computerized control panel if there is a problem, and that costs more than a new machine.
