 Re: can't or won't?
1. Generally temporary - it suggests that you're waiting for it to be repaired rather than that you need to replace it completely.
2. Either not at all or just not working well. Eg : My hairdryer isn't working properly. It's producing very hot air, but when I try and turn the heat down nothing happens.
3. No - it would only be used with mechanical or technological objects : The light isn't working - perhaps we need a new bulb but There's something wrong with the door - it doesn't close properly.
