You are absolutely correct...
IF AVAILABLE... (few
OLD refrigerator parts are)
refrigerator parts are usually sold as functional parts.
I have seen ... and I am sure if you look long enough...
ONE DAY you will find some business that is able to
inventory EVERY REFRIGERATOR part ever made...
Stock, list, sell & ship... and still make a profit.
As for me... I would be THANKFUL to find
my parts. l have spent weeks trying to get an intelligent
RESPONSE ... out of "1st Source Servall"
Customer Service Representative...
It was more important for "Nancy" to argue with me about part numbers... (their cost $172.. (I think: never got answer)).
I finally caved... ripped out the motor... and looked it up on
eBay
$22 USD ... and 3 days later the MARVEL 6RFI is working
fine again... 2.3W 1300 RPM 115V condenser fan.
I am just saying SEARSPARTSDIRECT was(in my opinion)
the worst... "
1st Source Servall" just pushed them off of that pedestal.
I recommend eBay... If you have more TIME than MONEY.
ELSE... buy that assembly (and be very
happy to get it).
