Parts Grouped by Where the Appliance Actually Sits
Most parts lists are organised by appliance, which is fine until you realise that the same fridge fails differently in a warm kitchen and an unheated garage. Sorting by where the machine lives is more useful, and in this part of Alberta it matters more than it does in Edmonton.
In the kitchen
Refrigerator and freezer parts, plus range, cooktop and oven components and dishwasher assemblies. Ice maker modules, water inlet valves, door gaskets, thermostats, igniters, infinite switches, wash motors and spray arm seals. The parts that fail in a heated room where the appliance runs all day.
Fridges, ranges, dishwashersIn the laundry room or basement
Washer and dryer components: drain pumps, tub seals, drive belts, door hinges and latches, lid switches, heating elements, cycling thermostats, blower wheels and moisture sensors. Cosmetic condition never matters down here, which is also why a marked machine is worth buying for this room.
Washers and dryersIn the garage, and this is the one
A fridge or freezer in an unheated garage is a different problem. Many units are only rated to run in a heated space, and once a Medicine Hat garage drops far enough below freezing the thermostat can stop calling for cooling at all, so the freezer quietly stops freezing. Before you buy a part, check whether the machine is garage-rated. If it is not, no thermostat will fix it.
Check the rating firstBehind and underneath
The parts nobody sees until they leak or stop: inlet hoses and clamps, drain hoses, water lines, dryer vent kits and transition hoses, power cords, levelling feet and anti-tip brackets. Cheap, unglamorous, and the cause of a surprising share of call-outs.
Hoses, vents and fittingsConsumables, wherever it sits
Refrigerator water filters, range hood grease and charcoal filters, dishwasher rinse aids and dryer lint screens. Not faults at all, just the things that need replacing on a schedule, and cheap to add to a parcel that is already coming your way.
Filters and screensHow the Right Part Gets Found and Sent
Appliance Kingdom runs a full appliance parts operation in Edmonton alongside its store and service workshop, with thousands of components on file for washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, ranges, dishwashers and microwaves. Parts are identified against the manufacturer’s breakdown for your exact model, quoted, and then shipped to Medicine Hat.
Send the model number from the rating plate with a short description of what the machine is doing, and we will settle on the component before anything is picked. Most components exist twice over, once from the brand that built the machine and once from the aftermarket. We hold an authorised dealership with Supco, an aftermarket manufacturer that has been supplying technicians since 1945. Where the part is mechanical and simple, the aftermarket version is what a working technician would fit and the saving is worth having. Where it is a board, a sensor or anything inside a sealed refrigeration circuit, take the original and we will say so. Either way the cover is ninety days.
Our parts coverage runs a good deal wider than our dealer list. Kenmore and Inglis machines are still in service in a great many Alberta kitchens and we support both, along with Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung and LG, and the brands we sell ourselves: Frigidaire, GE, Bosch, Electrolux, KitchenAid, Thermador, Danby, Midea, Blomberg, Amana and Broan. Between the supplier network and the Supco aftermarket range, plenty of machines stay serviceable long after the manufacturer has stopped producing the original component, discontinued Sears and Kenmore units included. Tell us whether you are fitting it yourself or handing it to a technician and we will say what the job actually involves before you commit to it, because some of these are ten minutes with a screwdriver and some are genuinely not. Repair businesses and property managers can open a trade account for account pricing on the components that fail most often.
What the Fault Is Probably Telling You
Nine complaints we are asked about most, and the components behind each. A shortlist to bring to the phone call rather than a diagnosis.
Several components can produce any one of these, so this narrows the search rather than settling it. Give us the model number and describe what the machine actually does, and we will confirm the part before you pay for anything.
The Number on the Plate, Not the One on the Receipt
This is where most wrong parts come from. Manufacturers revise machines within the same product line, so two appliances that look identical can take different boards, motors or valves depending on the production run. A wrong part means boxing it back up and starting again, so it is worth the two minutes.
Photograph the plate rather than writing the number out, and never use the number from a receipt or the shipping carton. Those are frequently only partial and they are the single most common reason the wrong component turns up.
Asked and Answered
Why has my garage freezer stopped freezing in winter?
Because it may never have been built to run out there. Many freezers and fridges are only rated for a heated space, and once the surrounding air drops far enough below freezing the thermostat stops calling for cooling, so the compressor does not run and the contents thaw. January in Medicine Hat averages a low of around minus ten, and an unheated garage goes well past that. Check the rating plate for a garage or extended temperature rating before you buy any part, because if the machine is not rated for it, no component will fix the problem.
How do I get an appliance part in Medicine Hat?
Send us the model number from the rating plate and a line about what the machine is doing. We identify the exact component against the manufacturer’s breakdown for that model, quote it, and ship it to your address, which for most people is simpler than driving round trying to find one. If what you describe turns out to be sealed refrigeration work or anything involving gas, we will say so, because that needs a licensed technician whoever supplies the part.
How long does a part take to reach Medicine Hat?
That depends on the component and on whether it is on the shelf or coming from a supplier, so we will not print a figure we cannot stand behind. Ring with the model number and we will tell you what we are holding and what the realistic timing is before you commit, rather than after.
What is the least you need to price a part?
The model number from the rating plate, and a description of what the appliance is actually doing. Photograph the plate and send the picture. Do not read the number off a receipt or the carton, because those are often partial and they are the commonest cause of the wrong part arriving.
Original or aftermarket, which should I take?
It depends on the part rather than on which we would rather sell. On simple mechanical components the trade fits aftermarket as a matter of routine and the saving is real. On control boards, sensors and sealed refrigeration work we steer people to the manufacturer’s own. We will tell you which we would fit ourselves.
Is the warranty the same outside Edmonton?
Ninety days from purchase on everything we sell, and where you live does not shorten it. Original or aftermarket, electrical or mechanical, the term is the same and the date is printed on your receipt.
My machine is old. Is it still supported?
Often, yes. Between the supplier network and the Supco aftermarket range, plenty of appliances stay serviceable well after the manufacturer has stopped making the original component, including discontinued Sears and Kenmore machines. Send the model number and we will check rather than guess.
Do you supply repair businesses working in Medicine Hat?
Yes. Trade accounts are open to appliance service companies and to property management firms, which means account pricing rather than retail on the components that fail most often. Send the model and the component and we will confirm availability and timing before you commit to a customer date.
