The Complete Guide to LG Australia Spare Parts and Repairs
If LG is your favourite brand for household appliances, then you need to know how to maintain them so they operate at optimum levels. Learn how to maintain your appliances and tips for sourcing genuine LG Australia spare parts.
Identifying genuine LG replacement parts
If your LG appliance needs repairs, you’ll want to use genuine spare parts to ensure performance, safety, and warranty compliance. Here are some tips for identifying genuine LG replacement parts.
1. Check for official branding
Genuine parts will always have the LG brand’s official logo and markings. To identify counterfeit parts, look for altered logos, misspelled brand names, or no branding.
2. Verify the part number
Every LG spare part has a unique part number. You can search for this number in the appliance’s user manual or on the LG website. Cross-check this number with the number printed on the part and packaging.
3. Examine the packaging
Authentic LG parts come in high-quality packaging with the official LG branding and labelling. If label printing is poor, fonts are inconsistent, or the packaging is missing the manufacturer’s details, the parts are inferior copies.
4. Purchase from authorised spare parts dealers
You can avoid inferior copies or counterfeit parts by always purchasing authentic LG spare parts from wwspares.com.au, or from an authorised LG service centre.
