Hi All,
I'm pretty sure my refrigerator thermostat is gone. It's a fairly
popular GE part WR9X411.
Most places on the net are over $60 and some over $80. Sears is the
lowest at $42, but shipping and tax add $13.
Are there any places that sell used, but working appliance parts, such
as thermostats? I know it's a gamble, but at $60+ I'm willing to take
a chance. TIA
Rich

Sure, there's some. Check your local Yellow Pages. Duh.

I sure did, before I posted. None turned up. Plenty of people fix
them, a few sell new parts, but none were selling used. Guess it
would have to be someone living near an appliance junk yard, salvaging
the most useful stuff.

Try calling a few smaller appliance stores and ask them to look out for one
on the way to the dump. Many companies will remove your old appliance whan
they deliver as a convenience to the customer. These units usually go
straight to the dump without being canibalized first. If the part really is
common to multiple models, it may not be long before someone is junking
theirs for a new one.
Sears and Best Buy may not want to hastle with you but a small mom and pop
store might do it to "get you by until you can afford a new fridge" from
them because of the good will they spread.
