• Check the Warranty

No matter how old that appliance is, go and check the warranty. Why? Many appliances come with pretty good warranties for the whole appliance. Sometimes specific parts on the appliance have their

own warranties, including lifetime warranties. You don’t know until you check. If you’ve lost the manual with the warranty information, do a check online. Many times, you can find manuals free of charge for your appliances.

• Call the Manufacturer

Don’t call and ask for a technician to do the repair. Manufacturer technicians tend to charge more. They need to make money for themselves and the manufacturing company. You’re going to call the manufacturer to see if they can do anything to help you. Tell them your situation and what’s wrong with the appliance.
They might be able to work with you and get you the part you need cheaper. This often depends on the age of the appliance and how nice the customer service rep is. Ask to talk to a higher up manager, if necessary. Still don’t get anywhere? Hang up and try again later when you’ll get a different representative or manager who might be more receptive.

• Go DIY

The problem with your appliance might require only a simple repair. Don’t pay someone to come in your home and charge you for labor when you can do it yourself. Keep in mind; this should only be done for simple repairs. Call us and see if we have the part in stock, or we will order it for you. Search YouTube and you might even find a step-by-step guide of the repair. If you do, follow the steps carefully and do the repair yourself. You’ll only end up paying for the parts and tools required.

• Buy American Parts

We all know that made in America means high quality. American companies tend to be held to higher standards than others and it is a good thing to support American companies. In the long run, buying a higher quality part can save you money by increasing the longevity of your appliance. It’s just plain smart and when we can, All Appliance Parts tries to buy American made parts. We source from companies like Napco Inc® and Titan HD®. We do so because like American made parts, we were made in America.
