Your Frigidaire refrigerator is on the blink and in need of servicing, so now you have to buy a replacement part for it.
Should you buy a new part or a used part, because after all, what is your refrigerator in total now but a conglomeration of used parts anyway.
Also, if you are going to go with the used part idea where can you buy one? New Online Sources Over the course of the past several years more choices and options have come available for people buying used and new parts to repair their appliances, including Frigidaire refrigerator parts.
Its all the result of the Internet, because virtually all of these new sources are online suppliers.
Be Prepared However; if you have never purchased new or used replacement parts for an appliance, there are several things that you are going to have to take in to account.
The first thing that you will want to keep in mind, is that the onus is on you to have the information that you will need.
The person on the other end of the line may be able to be somewhat helpful but don't expect an appliance repair "genius".
Save Your Stuff Remove the old part that you are going to have replaced and save all the screws, washers or gaskets etc.
This is because new ones may not come with the new or used part that you order.
Place them in a baggie, tie it or seal it closed and place it in a safe place where you can find it when you need it.
Model and Part Numbers Make sure that you write any "part" numbers down that are printed or stamped on the part that you will be replacing.
Also, find the model number if you can and write that down also.
After you have all of this in hand, then you are ready to begin your search for your new or used Frigidaire refrigerator part.
