Home Appliances
You cannot purchase a new phone screen from a hardware store.
Independent repair shops cannot survive when manufacturers refuse to provide spare parts. Many electronics firms have ceased disclosing service and repair information to the general public and independent repair technicians.
This has had a significant negative impact on people’s livelihoods and consumer choices. As consumer electronics like smartwatches and healthcare equipment become smaller and smaller, the repairer must rely on more remarkable inventiveness and carefully selected tools and advanced disassembly procedures.
Giving consumers the Right to Repair enhances the potential to develop new, scalable business models for the industry based on independent repairs of various products. It will provide consumers with more control and options, and most importantly, environmentally, it will lessen the quantity of electronic trash our country produces.
With the right regulations in place, you’ll no longer be required to have only the manufacturer fix your appliances.
If you are knowledgeable, experienced, aggrieved or enthusiastic about the repair & maintenance of home appliances and are keen to make a difference, we’d like to hear from you. Let’s co-develop this space and enable the Right to Repair.
