Absolutely! If it’s already broken, and you fail to fix it, what have you lost? Go for it (but pls do your research and be careful. Don’t go poking about inside appliances with big capacitors, for example, like microwave ovens).

As a person is not very handy around the house, I can't tell you how good I feel about myself when I can actually fix something. It's better than sex.
We salute you
Idk, repairing is often fun and may be faster actually. As in you don't need to spend time searching for a suitable product and waiting for it to be delivered. Also, most breaks are more or less trivial to fix, so it's at least worth a try, imo.
Can you fix my boiler?
I just like fixin stuff. It's why I got a 3d printer and I'm learning CAD.
I would rather spend 8 hours banging my head against a wall than spend 10 dollars on Amazon to order a replacement part lol
