I've been buying appliance parts from and recommending The Repair Clinic. But this week I found a couple of instances where they couldn't come through in a timely manner and, when I turned to Sears Parts, I was able to get the parts cheaper and quicker.
The magnetron in our microwave at home had died. The Repair Clinic was asking $93 + shipping and quoting 6-8 weeks delivery. Local parts places were quoting $112 - $121 with 6-8 weeks delivery. Sears Parts had it for $89 and it arrived in 24 hours. A couple of minutes to put it all back together and Chris is a happy camper again.
The dish racks in the two Fisher & Paykel dish drawers at home (both essentially the same as the single F&P dish drawers that some folks have in their RV) have rusted out. Not really surprising given the poor quality I see in other parts used in the F&P dish drawers. Several local parts places told me "you won't find those anywhere in the Bay Area". The Repair Clinic said "sorry, we don't sell parts for that brand". Sears Parts to the rescue again. There was no additional shipping cost above the flat rate I paid for the magnetron above, although they're coming from a different location and possibly by a different carrier.
