Next time something breaks, try repairing it. Pull it apart and look for whats broken, google if you need info or ideas on fixing the problem, and go for it. Worst case scenario you can’t fix something that wasn’t working, best case scenario you’ve saved something from the scrap pile. Either way you’ll have a little bit of knowledge you didn’t already, maybe some skills

Unless it has to do with electrical wiring or anything dangerous. Part of learning to repair is knowing your limits!

Some things are very dangerous even though for inexperienced they might not seem so. Case in point: the microwave. It has a powerful capacitor and if you try taking it apart, it might shock you even when disconnected from power
