Bread-Bakers v102.n041.9

About seven years ago I bought a Zojirushi and used it a lot.  It has been 
dead for a while now.  Shall I dump it and buy another or just have it 
fixed.  If I remember it was quite expensive at the time.  I am open to 
suggestions.  At one time I baked bread twice a week, and it was so 
wonderful, but I believe I am beyond that now.  Once in a while would be 
fine, but......

Thank you for any suggestions......
