Quick answer: Oz Appliance Spares stocks genuine and quality-equivalent spare parts for washing machines, dryers, fridges, dishwashers, ovens and rangehoods in a warehouse on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and ships them Australia-wide. The parts that fail most are door seals, drain pumps, dryer belts and heaters, fridge fan motors and sensors, dishwasher inlet valves and door locks, oven elements and rangehood lamps. Match the model number on the model sticker, search it on the site, and get it to us by 12pm Sydney time and it leaves the warehouse the same afternoon.

Something in the house has stopped: the front loader is sitting on a tub of grey water, the dryer is turning cold air, the fridge is humming while the milk goes warm. Here is which part usually fails on each appliance, how we match it, and what we stock and honestly don’t.
What fails most, appliance by appliance
Every appliance has a handful of parts that do most of the failing. Here is the one to check first on each, with a live example from the shelf.
| Appliance | What fails most | The part |
|---|---|---|
Washing machine (front loader) | Water on the floor at the front, mould in the fold, or a split in the rubber. The door seal is what a front loader wears out first. | Fisher Paykel Washing Machine Door Seal WH1060S1 WH1060SG1 WH1160F2 WH1160S1 |
Washing machine (top loader) | Walks, bangs or throws an unbalance error on every spin. Worn suspension rods. | 4 x Samsung Washing Machine Suspension Rod Kit WA11M8700GV/SA WA11M8700GW/SA |
Dryer | Motor hums but the drum does not turn, or turns with a slap. Snapped or stretched drive belt. | Stirling Heat Pump Dryer Belt SHPD80W GGSHPD80W STR-HPD80W |
Fridge | Compressor hot and constant, fridge section warm, fan behind the back grille still. Condenser fan motor. | LG Fridge Condenser Fan Motor GF-B530BL GF-B590BLE GF-LN500PL GF-V570MBLC GF-V570PNL |
Dishwasher | Door shuts but the cycle never starts. The door lock switch is not registering “closed”. Listed for the DW60M6055FG and DW60M6055FS. | Samsung Dishwasher Door Lock Switch |
Oven | Fan runs, light on, oven cold or lukewarm. The fan-forced element has gone open circuit, sometimes with a visible blister. | CHEF SIMPSON WESTINGHOUSE FAN FORCED OVEN ELEMENT |
Rangehood | Fan works, lamps dead. On most modern hoods that is a constant-current LED module (350mA, 1W), not a 12V globe. | 2 x ARDA Rangehood Led Light Replacement |
How matching works: the model sticker does the job
Parts are matched by model number, not by brand or looks, and the model number lives on a sticker. Find it, search it on the site, and the products listed for your model come up. If nothing comes up, or two things do, send it through the contact page and we check before you order. Prefer browsing? The models directory lists machines by brand and family.
Where the sticker is
- Washing machines: front loaders around the door rim; top loaders inside the lid or on the back panel.
- Dryers: inside the door opening, or on the back.
- Fridges: inside the fresh-food compartment, on a side wall or above the top crisper.
- Dishwashers: the inside edge of the door.
- Ovens: the frame behind the door, or beside the storage drawer opening.
- Rangehoods: behind the grease filters.
Our guide to finding any appliance model number in 30 seconds covers every type, with walkthroughs for Fisher & Paykel, the Bosch E-Nr and Westinghouse ovens.
The suffix is the bit that matters
The classic wrong-part order is a model number written down one character too early.
- Bosch puts an index after the slash on the E-Nr. The Bosch Washing Machine Door Seal WAU28490AU/01, WAU28490AU/02 is listed for those two indexes; a later index can take a different seal.
- Samsung models sold here end in /SA, as on the suspension rod kit above; the same digits without /SA can be a different market build.
- Fisher & Paykel puts letters and a revision digit after the size (WH1060S1 versus WH1060SG1 on the door seal above), and every character is doing work.
- Westinghouse, Simpson, Chef and Electrolux print a PNC beside the model; when a model has been through several PNCs, that code decides which element you need.
What we stock, and what we don’t
A straight answer, because nothing wastes your week like a part that was never coming. Anything not on the site: send the model number and a line about the fault. Some parts we can source to order, some we cannot, and we say which.
Washing machines
The deepest part of the warehouse: door seals, drain pumps, bearing and lip seal kits, suspension rods, lid locks, inlet valves, belts and motors for Fisher & Paykel, Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hisense, Westinghouse, Simpson, Haier and CHiQ. The Hisense Front Load Washing Machine Door Seal HWFS8514E HWFS1015E is typical of the shelf. Browse the whole washing machine parts range, or start from the Fisher & Paykel range.
Dryers
Belts, heater elements, thermostats, drum bearings and felt pads for vented, condenser and heat pump machines. A condenser dryer that runs a full cycle and comes out damp usually needs the Fisher Paykel Condenser Dryer Heater, DE8060P1, DE8060P2 or its thermostat.
Fridges
Fan motors, temperature sensors, thermostats, defrost heaters and controllers. A Fisher & Paykel freezing lettuce in the fresh-food section, or running too warm, is often a sensor; the Fisher Paykel Fridge Freezer Temperature Sensor Kit Assembly covers that. We do not hold fridge door seals. Send the model number for an honest yes or no.
Dishwashers
Inlet valves, door lock switches, drain pumps and spray arms for Samsung, Omega and the Westinghouse family. Fills slowly with the tap fully on? Usually the inlet valve, like the Omega Dishwasher Inlet Valve ODW717WB, ODW702X, ODW507TXB, ODW707XB. Bosch dishwasher parts are thin on our shelves; our Bosch depth is in washing machines. Send the E-Nr for a straight yes or no.
Ovens
Elements first: fan-forced, bake and grill, mainly Westinghouse, Chef and Simpson, plus a smaller range of thermostats and fan motors. We do not hold oven door seals. Most ovens are hard-wired to 240V: know the right element, then decide who fits it.
Rangehoods
Lamps, yes: halogens and the LED modules that replaced them. Filters, no. Mesh and charcoal filters are sold through the big retailers.
By appliance: where to go next
- Washing machine spare parts Australia, the pillar for every brand.
- Laundry brand front doors: Samsung, Hisense, Bosch, LG and Westinghouse washing machine parts, plus washer-dryer combo parts.
- Fridge spare parts Australia: what fails and what fits.
- Westinghouse spare parts: every appliance in one place.
- Appliance error codes, when the display is talking in letters.
- Ordering from Sydney or anywhere in Australia: the right part first time.
DIY or repairer?
The honest maths. A repairer’s call-out and diagnosis typically runs $100–165 before any part. Most washing machine door seals sit in a $70–130 band, a dryer belt $15–30, a fridge fan motor or sensor $25–60, an oven element $30–60. A seal you fit on a Saturday morning saves a call-out; a belt costs about what the coffee run does while you wait for one.
- Unplug, or switch off at the wall, before touching anything. Ovens and some dryers are hard-wired: isolate at the switchboard too, and in most states the connection is a licensed job.
- Never bypass a lid switch, door interlock or thermal fuse to “test” something.
- Heat pump dryer refrigerant and the fridge sealed system are licensed only.
- Control boards are the last thing to replace, not the first. Fit one after diagnosis, not on a guess.
- Fitted the likely part and nothing changed? Stop and call a repairer. The second guess is where DIY starts costing more than the call-out.
Trade and property managers
If you fix appliances for a living, manage rentals or run strata, the workflow is the same, only more of it. Photograph the model sticker on every job, put everything in by 12pm Sydney time on one order and it leaves the Northern Beaches that day. Apply for a trade account and send the model numbers for whatever is on the bench this week; we match them before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Do you sell genuine appliance spare parts or aftermarket ones?
A: Both. Where a genuine part is available and sensibly priced, we stock it; where a quality-equivalent does the same job for a lot less, we stock that.
Q: How do I know a part will fit my appliance?
A: Match the model number on the model sticker, including everything after the slash, against the models the product is listed for. Not listed, or unsure? Send it through the contact page and we check before you order.
Q: Do you stock fridge door seals or oven door seals?
A: No. Neither is held in the warehouse, and we would rather say so than take an order we cannot fill. Send the model number for an honest yes or no on sourcing.
Q: What if the part I need is not on the site?
A: Send the model number and a line about the fault through the contact page. Some parts can be sourced to order, some cannot; you get a straight answer either way.
Q: How quickly will my part arrive?
A: Get it to us by 12pm Sydney time and it leaves the warehouse the same afternoon from Sydney’s Northern Beaches; after that, the next business day. East-coast capitals usually see it within a couple of business days; regional, WA and NT addresses take longer.
