Ready to find your part? Use Fixit Fox Finder to search by model number and reduce the risk of ordering the wrong spare part.
Why finding the exact part is harder than it looks
Many appliances have multiple model variants that look identical but use different internal components. A single character difference in a model number can change the correct part. That is why something that looks right can still be wrong.
- Model numbers are easy to misread, especially where characters such as O and 0, I and 1, or suffixes and revision codes are involved.
- Different production runs can use different parts even within the same appliance range.
- Generic searches can return broad results, which increases the chance of choosing the wrong item.
Fixit Fox Finder focuses on accurate model identification first, then guides you to the most relevant product pages. That means fewer wrong orders, fewer returns, and a better chance of completing your repair correctly first time.
How to use Fixit Fox Finder
- Open the chat. Fixit Fox Finder is available across the site.
- Provide your model number. You can either upload a photo of the rating plate or model number sticker for the best accuracy, or type the model number exactly as printed.
- Confirm the match. If Fixit Fox shows more than one possible variant, choose the correct one to avoid close-enough errors.
- Choose what you need. You can ask for model-specific search results or help finding a particular part such as a door seal, pump, heating element, thermostat, belt, or filter.
- Open the product page and add the correct spare part to your basket.
Tip: If your appliance has a revision code, often shown after a slash such as /01 or /19, include it. Revisions can affect compatibility.

Fixit Fox Finder FAQs
Where do I find my appliance model number?
Look for a rating plate or data label. Common locations include inside the door frame on washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers, behind the lower kick plate, on the back panel, or inside the fridge compartment. If you are unsure, open Fixit Fox Finder and describe the appliance type so it can suggest where to look.
Why does a slash code like /01 or /19 matter?
Many manufacturers use revision or variant identifiers. Two appliances can share the same main model text but use different parts depending on the revision. Including the full model number, including suffixes, improves compatibility accuracy.
Can Fixit Fox Finder guarantee the part will fit?
Fixit Fox Finder is designed to reduce errors by helping you confirm the correct appliance model and guiding you to the most relevant product pages. Compatibility still depends on selecting the correct model variant and choosing the correct part for the fault. If you are unsure, contact customer services.
What if I do not know the part name?
Describe the problem, such as leaking, not draining, not heating, unusual noise, or a door not locking. Fixit Fox Finder can suggest common parts linked to that symptom and then route you to the right products once your appliance model is confirmed.
Is Fixit Fox Finder free to use?
Yes. It is available on Spares2Repair to help customers find the right appliance spare parts quickly and with more confidence.
