Have a broken appliance? New EU rules will make repairs easier and may extend the warranty

The European Union has approved new Right to Repair rules to make it easier and cheaper to fix appliances such as refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and toasters. Manufacturers will be required to design appliances that are easier to disassemble and repair, favouring screws over glue and limiting software blocks. Spare parts and technical manuals will have to be available for up to ten years after sale. Consumers who choose repair instead of replacement during the warranty period may also benefit from an additional 12-month extension. The EU aims to reduce the waste of millions of tonnes of annual waste and the costs borne by families with faulty equipment.
