I just replaced an electric stove top unit because the old one had a burner that wouldn’t turn off. I still haven’t figured out what to do with the old unit; a local e-waste recycling group doesn’t want it, I don’t know anyone that wants a partially functioning stovetop, I don’t want to fix it myself… but I guess I can pay to bring it to the local landfill.
Anyone claiming that “right to repair” fixes any of this is missing the part where people don’t want to spend their lives repairing everything they have. Also, the new stovetop is far more energy efficient than the old one with is yet another balancing aspect of replacing old tech.
