About This Part
This is a direct replacement for the worn or failed original — the usual fix when the appliance stops behaving the way it should. Fitting the new part restores normal operation without replacing the whole machine.
Many owners fit this themselves; if you’d rather not, any local repairer can fit the part you supply.
- In stock in Sydney — order before 12pm AEST on a business day and it ships the same day
