Indeed. Just like every electrical item. Integrated circuits aren&#x27;t easy to repair, or cost effective for that matter.<p>I don&#x27;t think Keurig machines are well made as an aside, so more of them get thrown away than there should be. But that&#x27;s an issue with Keurig, I don&#x27;t really expect your average consumer to be popping open electronics and repairing things (regardless of what the item is).
