This seems to me to be mainly aimed at restaurants and department stores. For working applications, isn't that usually dealt with via in-home repair anyways? I don't know many people who would go to a store to buy a new appliance if it breaks, nor many people who would know how to buy parts and fix it themselves.

Contractors often buy some of their supplies in stores...

And depending on how badly something broke you do replace it. How many people do you know with 50 year old fridges?
