To begin with, the model number of your appliance is crucial! It's essential to have this number to identify the correct part number. After obtaining your part number, you can begin your search. Locating your model number is straightforward; it can be found on the sticker that contains all the manufacturer's details, which is affixed directly to your appliance. (Refer to the images below.)

The Serial Number is not required for locating parts, as it is intended only for your personal documentation.

To accurately locate the right part numbers, it's advisable to utilize reputable appliance parts websites such as SearsPartsDirect.com, RepairClinic, and AppliancePartsPros.com. These platforms provide comprehensive diagram breakdowns from the appliance manufacturers. Simply enter your model number in their search bar to identify the necessary part within the diagrams, and then retrieve the original part number linked to the corresponding diagram number.

Most control boards and circuit boards typically have their own part number clearly printed on them. The best approach is to take out the component you are replacing and check the part numbers on the label. Keep in mind that some circuit boards may display multiple numbers. This raises the question: how do we identify the correct number?

You can easily input those numbers in the search bar above to check for in-stock availability, or you can open a new window and use Google to compare those numbers until you are sure you've identified the correct one.

Avoid ordering any part solely based on its appearance compared to what is already in your machine. While appliance parts may look alike, they can differ significantly in wiring, function, fit, and other aspects, potentially rendering the part unusable. Each component has a unique part number tailored to specific models. Therefore, ensure that the part you are purchasing is indeed the correct one for your needs.

When it comes to troubleshooting issues, YouTube has proven to be an essential resource for information. Just enter your model number, part number, make and type of appliance, or the specific symptoms you're experiencing into the search bar.
