Hey, all of you weekend warriors, here’s another notch to add to your belt. Appliance repair. Unless you really know what you’re doing, you probably haven’t been messing with that, have you?
Well, the fine people over at PartSelect have done up their website to make it easy on you. The Virtual Repairman walks you through the entire process. Here’s what you do….Just punch in the model number of your sick appliance and a whole bunch of symptoms will come up. Click on symptom and a-ha! There are the replacement parts listed in order of fix-it-percentage.
Now, your like “So what? I still don’t know how to replace it.” Fear not. PartSelect has an entire YouTube channel with idiot proof instructional videos.
Nothing is built to last anymore in our disposable society and it’s often costlier to have an appliance professionally repaired than to just buy a new one. Instead of throwing those big ticket items into the landfills every few years, give it a shot and see what happens.
You might even impress yourself.

You just made them a sale. This means you’ll come over and help me fix my fridge when it gets here, right?!
Oy. Well, I’m glad I had a part in empowering you to fix your fridge!
Well, you empowered me to buy a part that might possibly fix my fridge. I really hope it works because I don’t feel like replacing it.
Okay, that didn’t work. I just hope I didn’t break the whole thing now!
Ugh. Do I have to come over there and help you? Is it possible to return it if it’s not the right piece?
That’s nice of you to offer, but it’s okay. I’m pretty sure it’s the right piece, I just couldn’t get the other piece off. It’s a POS fridge and we’re just going to wind up getting a new one soon enough. It’s not completely broken like I thought it was. Phew!
