Just as with so many other products and services that you can acquire locally, discount appliance parts can now be purchased online, often times for substantial savings. However; unless you are familiar with the process of purchasing appliance parts, there are a few things that you should know first.
Used Parts Online
Your first decision that you are going to have to make, is whether or not to buy used appliance parts. After all, at this point your appliance is made up completely of used parts. However; some parts you may not be better of buying used. For instance, inexpensive electrical parts and switches you might want to go ahead and buy new. On the other hand, larger non moving and non electrical parts can usually be bought used online for incredible savings.
Know the Model and Control Number
As a general rule, electrical parts are non refundable. This is because it is often times difficult to differentiate from an old and worn out part and a new one that someone is sending back. So make doubly sure you are ordering the right electrical part when you are ordering. This means that you will want to know the model number and the control number for any part you are ordering.
Read the Fine Print
The control number will usually be stamped right on the part and it is the number that the manufacturer uses for control purposes during manufacturing. Often times it will be a long number stamped or printed in very small lettering, so make sure that you see it clearly and write it down specifically.
Check the Manufacturers Website
Next you will want to know the model number for the appliance that you are ordering the part for. This can usually be found at the manufacturers website and make sure that you don’t get your model mixed up with a similar model.
