Same here. Maybe take a first look as @Thimes mentions , if you’d be comfortable with that, to help you describe the problem to a repair person. Then if you have access to a good local appliance repair business, they should be able to ballpark the cost to fix so you can decide what’s best. In my experience, such ballpark estimates have turned out to be low but at least I get a relative sense of what I’m in for.
Hope this helps.
