Why the model number matters

We repair Magic Chef ovens, dishwashers, cooktops & more — factory-trained, local techs.

How to avoid mistakes

Always take a clear photo of the factory label with the model number. Use the official manufacturer’s catalog or trusted suppliers to cross-check. Verify photos, descriptions, and compatibility before ordering. Never rely only on appearance — two similar-looking parts may have different specifications.

The challenge with part numbers

Manufacturers frequently update or replace part numbers (PNs) even if the part itself has not changed. For beginners, this makes ordering confusing — the same component may appear under multiple numbers.

Universal rule

Every part can be found if you have the exact model number. Even if the factory changes the part number, the system will guide you to the updated code or correct replacement. The model number is the key to accurate, reliable ordering.
