• How to begin to fix an Appliance Yourself:

• Save Money, Fix it Yourself!

First off, It is best to locate your model number of your appliance.  All appliance usually have a visable Metal or Plastic Stamping of there Model number. 

Whether you are using Ebay to find your replacement part, or the Internet, you will almost always need to have this number.

All of internet websites are now giving schematics or diagrams of the breakdown of your appliance.   In most cases sometimes the even sell a repair manuel.  There are many parts on Washers, Dryers, Stoves, Dishwashers, and Refrigerators that can be fixed on your own. Some parts are very easy to replace or fix. And you save yourself the service call of a tech making a service call and per hour rate.  Some due still require a licensed tech to perform, for example a compressor for a refrigerator, due to the fact of installing and removing freon.

Here are some popular Websites to search your model number to see a picture or a diagram of your Machine.  As said earlier you will need model number when entering these sites to find your parts or diagram: 

•  Repair Clinic is a this a website provides pictures on a 1 inch grid, to measure or get an idea of size of appliance.  This website however does not allow you to see part number, the site gives you there store part number only.  You can order parts from this website. Also offers repair help. 

• Sears Parts Direct is a website that provides pictures and also will give a breakdown of machine, and sometimes the part numbers. You can order parts from this website.

• Parts Select is a website that provides pictures of most parts and most often or not a breakdown of machine.  You can also order parts from this website.

The best thing before you fix your appliance yourself is to educate yourself as best as possible before you buy.  Most Ebay sites, including ourselves, are selling New Appliance Repair Parts, They cannot always give you a full warrenty due to the fact that they sell NEW parts.  We personally guarntee the part is not a defective or "bad" or "used" part. If the part you ordered from us or someone else was something that did not fix your machine, or misdiagnosed, and you installed it, the cannot return the item because in most cases they are stuck with the product because of obvious signs of installation.  

I hope this guide helps you better understand on how to start fixing your appliance yourself.
