Where to Find Range Parts

If you need parts for your range, the Internet has made it significantly easier these days to find the part or parts you need, even if your range is quite old.

Your first resource: your place of purchase

The first place to start when you're looking for range parts if your range is no more than a couple of years old is at your original place of purchase, where you bought your range. This is especially true if your appliance is still under warranty, because the part will be covered by the warranty itself. This means that you shouldn't have to pay for either the part itself or for the labor needed to install the part or fix the range.

You should find the range part's number in the manual that came with your range. Failing that (or if you don't have the manual anymore), use the Internet and a search engine to type your range's make and model, along with the part you're looking for. This should bring up the correct part and model number you're looking for.

Your second resource: The Internet

If your range is more than a couple of years old or doesn't have a warranty, the next best place to look for range parts is on the Internet. This is true even if you want to make your purchase at a typical brick-and-mortar store. Why? Because the Internet provides you the best chance of finding the part you want, quickly. Usually, all you should need to do is enter your range part's part number and manufacturer into a search engine, click "enter," and you should come up with a number of places that sell the part. In many cases, you may even find that a local appliance store sells the part for a price you're willing to pay so that you can go pick it up immediately. Even so, though, your Internet research is going to tell you that that local store sells that part, which makes your job easier.

Your third resource: The phone book

Finally, once you've done your Internet research, if you wish, you can use your local phone book or the Yellow Pages on the Internet to find local businesses that sell the part if you don't want to order it on line and have it shipped.

Especially these days, replacing parts in your range is a better bet than buying a new appliance. Simply replacing your range parts as needed will give you a "like new" appliance, for years to come and for much less money than it would cost you to buy a new appliance.
