#3 What do I do if the part I need is no longer available?
Parts
- If a service part or accessory is no longer available,
there is
not a
compatible part we can substitute.
- You may be able to locate the part through another
source.
Check for
an authorized GE Appliances Parts distributor in your
area
who may
still have the item in inventory. You may also be able to
find
the part by
conducting an online search using the part number.
Some
online parts
distributors or other sites that sell used or refurbished
parts
may still
have the item in stock.
- If you are unsure which part number you need, locate
the
model
number of your appliance and find your model on our
Parts
and
Accessories web site. From there you will be able to
access
assembly
diagrams that identify replacement parts from each
section of
the
appliance. If you are unable to locate your model
number or
find it on
our Parts and Accessories site, please Contact Us for
guided
assistance.
Appliances
- When an appliance is no longer manufactured, there is
always a
remote possibility it could still be in stock in a dealer's
inventory. Since
we are unable to confirm which models remain in stock
at
dealer sites,
use our Where to Buy site for a listing of dealers near
you to
contact. If
the model you would like is not available with any of
those
dealers, try
expanding your search area.
- Our site provides specifications and product
information on
many of
our appliances that are no longer manufactured. If you
cannot
find
your model on our site, Contact Us for assistance. We
can
often help
provide the specifications you need, or even assist you
with
finding a
comparable model.
Publications
- Appliances that are 20+ years old may have limited
literature
availability (owner's manuals, installation instructions,
energy
guide
labels, templates, and wiring diagrams). If you are
unable to
find
literature for your model on our site, Contact Us for
assistance. In
some cases, we may be able to locate the materials.
