Appliances have plenty of plastic parts that often crack, warp or just fall off and disappear. When you finally get tired of using a pair of pliers to set your clothes dryer, you realize it's time to replace that broken knob. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Find your appliance manual. If you cannot locate the manual, use online resources to search based on your manufacturer and model number.
2. Find the part number for your part. Part numbers are the Social Security Number of the appliance industry. If you can't identify the part number from your manual, try looking online, or take a picture to a professional.
3. Order the replacement part. Parts are available online and from your local appliance store. Be aware, some parts cannot be returned once you have attempted to install them.
4. Disconnect the power supply to your appliance before working on it by unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker.
5. Install the part. Follow the instructions in your manual or the instructions that came with your universal part. If you have a universal part that needs to be cut to fit, measure your old part first. If you have lost the old part, cut a little at a time until the part fits correctly.
