Good morning, neighbor. The people I have known, over the 11 years that I've lived here full time, go to YouTube, find the exact model, watch it being repaired and then do it themselves. I personally have fixed appliances three times. There was a man here a few years ago who was called upon from time to time, but he has moved away. I hope this helps.

I used to, but honestly it isn’t worth it. I stopped.

Same with small engine repair. Just not worth it, as appliances get cheaper and parts/labor more expensive, people complained too much about the $$.

To live here, one must be self sufficient, or learn to be.
