Appliance Spare Parts
Protect your home from fake parts. Learn how to verify authenticity for Washing Machines, Fridges, and ACs in India.
The Hidden Risk of Fake Parts
“Is this part original?” It’s the most critical question you can ask. India has a large market for counterfeit spare parts that look identical to the real thing but fail within weeks.
Using fake electrical parts in appliances like Water Heaters or Microwaves isn’t just a financial loss—it’s a safety hazard that can cause short circuits or fires.
Why This Matters to You
The intent is practical, not academic. You want your repair to last. A common myth is “Expensive = Genuine”. This is false. Fake parts are often sold at high prices to seem real.
Risks of Counterfeits:
- Safety: Poor insulation causes shocks.
- Durability: Fake bearings destroy washing machine drums.
- Efficiency: Fake compressors consume 30% more power.
6 Ways to Verify Genuine Parts
Use this checklist before paying your technician.

Originals come in sealed, high-quality boxes. Fakes often use thin plastic or generic brown boxes with blurry printing.
2. Part Number Match
Every genuine part has a unique ID. Match the code on the box with the code on your appliance’s manual or official website.
3. GST Invoice
Genuine parts always come with a proper GST bill listing the exact part name. Avoid bills that just say “Service Charge”.
4. QR Authentication
Brands like Samsung and LG use QR codes on packaging. Scan it with your phone—it should take you to the official website.
5. Hologram Check
Look for the brand’s shiny holographic sticker. On fakes, this sticker often doesn’t change color when tilted.
6. Weight & Finish
Genuine metal parts (like motors) are heavy. Fakes use cheap alloys and feel surprisingly light.
Modern Appliances need Exact Specs
Old mechanical machines could handle generic parts. Modern Inverter Technology requires precise resistance and voltage.
Installing a non-genuine sensor in an Inverter Fridge can confuse the motherboard, leading to a complete system failure.
Care & Maintenance
What To Do
- Use a Voltage Stabilizer to protect genuine electronic parts.
- Clean filters regularly to reduce strain on motors.
- Ask for the “Old Part” back after replacement.
Who is this For?
- Homeowners with Inverter ACs/Fridges.
- Rental Property Managers.
- Anyone planning to keep their appliance for 5+ years.
