UK's 'right to repair' laws
The UK introduced its own 'right to repair' laws in 2021, requiring manufacturers to make spare parts available for certain products like washing machines and fridges for up to 10 years. This helps independent repairers fix items, though it doesn't always directly cover consumers doing DIY repairs.
