Is it worth have a washing machine repaired today or buying a new one I'm beginning to think most appliances are throw-away items today?

Answer

Depends on what is wrong.
Washing machines have a belt that you can replace yourself. There are actually quite a few parts you can replace if you are at all mechanically inclined and have a little time on your hands.
On the other hand, if you have a fairly old model, I would consider replacing it just for the fact that today's models are way more efficient than older ones.

Hope this helps!
