With light comes dark, with white comes black and most importantly, with ‘genuine’ comes ‘fake’. While the first two universal truths have been in existence ever since the universe was created, the undeniable truth of the co existence of ‘genuine’ and ‘fake’ is mostly a contribution of modern history. In the present days, this fact is applicable mainly to tangible commodities, especially appliances and appliance parts. The modern society is thoroughly dependent upon home appliances for the sake of saving on time and energy. This has given a boost to the appliance manufacturing companies, both big and small and reliable or, outright unreliable.

With thorough usage comes inevitable deterioration of the parts of the appliances, leading owners to the doorsteps of providers of replacement components every other day. However, the fact to consider here is that, owing to the growing demand of the repair and replacement parts, a large number of fake parts providers have slithered up alongside the genuine ones, with a store house of bad components that they tend to sell in the name of authentic brands. ...
... It will certainly not be surprising if one comes across an owner of some high end appliances who suffered immediate wreckage after replacing certain parts of the latter with the so-called ‘genuine appliance factory parts’ obtained from shady providers.

Owners of appliances must always remember that there is a great difference between ‘cheap’ parts and ‘fake’ parts. This is to say that all fake parts can be cheap, but all cheap parts are not fakes. Buying the right ‘cheap part’ can be beneficial for many appliances, but, buying fake parts can never bring in good results. While locating cheap parts is never too difficult for owners, identifying fake parts can be very difficult for those who have just begun their journey as self made appliance troubleshooters. What makes things worse is the fact that the fake appliance factory parts or, maintenance accessories like the cleaners, like GE washer cleaners, Affresh washer cleaners, Whirlpool ice machine cleaner, come in packaging that appears genuine. This tends to make the task of identification far more difficult.

This is not just in case of replacement appliance parts, but also in case of products that is used to maintain the respective appliances. For example, it will not be surprising to come across fake Whirlpool ice machine cleaner or, GE or Afresh washer cleaner etc. Using the name of renowned companies to sell fakes is a criminal offense, but many people have mastered this art of deception. Thus, it is up to the owners to raise their own guard and exercise caution while purchasing the same. There are a few guidelines that can be considered while differentiating the genuine from the fake products. They can be mentioned as follows:-


Fake products are usually sold at much cheaper prices than the real market price and for no apparent reason.
The products are usually not housed within the retail store

The providers refuse to provide guarantee cards or, warranty cards for obscure reasons.

Intuition though, plays the best role in determining real from fake, and this should be taken into account from the very moment the buyer walks into the provider.
