APPLIANCES

Appliance Parts Pros. 

from Gary North's forum: 

This site is a model for selling appliance parts. It's also excellent at walking a person through the how-to portion of a repair.

I am not handy. When I perform a repair, my next step is to usually call a professional. When I do fix something I typically attach a baggy to the back of it full of "extra" screws, nuts, and washers.

Here are the steps.

1. Enter the model of your appliance. A picture of your appliance pops up.

2. On the picture of your appliance clickable word bubbles of every possible symptom your appliance might have.

3. Click on the symptom and the correct part to fix the issue, along with price, etc, will pop up.

4. On the page there is a link to a video showing you how to fix the appliance.

5. These appear to be their own videos. This was the best how-to video I have seen. Since this is their video, there are no long-running logos and pre-music. The presenter gets right to the point. The appliance is repaired in a wide-open space /stage setting. There are no distractions, the lighting is fantastic, and everything can be easily seen.

6. I watched the video and thought, "I can do this."

7. I ordered the part on December 20th and it arrived on the 24th. I did not pay for expedited shipping. I expected to arrive the first week of January.

8. I performed the repair in less than an hour. No spare parts.
