I work in Greece.
I used to repair those things for a living, but no more.
I repair almost all of my friends low cost 'disposable' machines for
environmental purposes in my free time.
I am now working on PLC for industry or for other home automation like
elevators, garden watering etc (mostly creating PLC for customer needs).

I will disagree with some people that say the White machine last longer from
Brown ones, because old White machines did not have electronics at all or
had simple ones with a transformer for power supply. All new ones that try
to be "GREEN" ones with level-A power consumsion have SMPS.

SMPS (with aged caps =>high ESR) is the reason for the early break down of
electronics.
I have told in the past in the same newsgroup that my opinion is that we
should service new machines with SMPS before they break down (eg replacing
caps with one service a year).
