as a general rule I don't repair appliances. If a part goes out, there's a good chance the replacement part is going to fail within a year and you'll be stuck in this perpetual circle of broken appliances. For example: my refrigerators ice maker went out a while back. fixed it, worked for 6 months, broke, fixed again, worked for a few months. said eff it and bought a new fridge. life's good now.
