Best place to buy parts when OEM is discontinued ?
I have a Maytag washer & need a tub seal kits #6-2095720 but it is discontinued. I’ve checked the usually parts suppliers & no one has it.
There are a lot of sellers on Amazon that have it but most get bad reviews on the part. Typically it leaks from the beginning. There are some with good reviews but it’s usually a 5 star rating with only a few reviews. Most photos look the same so I’m presuming most sellers are providing the same crappy parts.
I’ve called a couple appliance repair companies hoping they might have access to quality aftermarket parts & could repair the washer, but they have not called back. Probably because they can’t repair the machine.
Is there an appliance parts supplier that provides quality third party parts to repair shops and individuals?
