How to Find the Right Replacement Part on eReplacement Parts

To find the right part on eReplacement Parts, start with the model number of your appliance or tool rather than the part name. Enter that model number (or a known part number) into the "Find Parts Fast" search box on the homepage, then confirm the match against the parts diagram for your model before ordering. This works for most major brands across power tools, lawn equipment, small appliances, and BBQ grills. If you don't know the model number, use the site's "How do I find my model number?" guidance and the browse-by-brand or browse-by-category paths described below.

Step 1: Locate your model number

The model number is the key that narrows millions of parts down to the ones built for your exact machine. The site links a "How do I find my model number?" help page next to the search box, which is the place to start if you're unsure.

Where model numbers commonly appear:

• Power tools: on a plate or sticker on the motor housing, often near the handle or under the battery.
• Lawn and yard equipment: on the engine or frame, sometimes under the deck or behind the rear bag.
• Small appliances: on the bottom of the unit or on the back panel.
• BBQ grills: on a rating plate inside the cabinet or on the back of the firebox.

Write the number down exactly, including any letter prefixes or suffixes. A single character difference can point to a different model year with different parts.

Step 2: Search by model or part number

On the homepage, the "Find Parts Fast" box accepts either a model number or a part number.

1. Type the model number into the search field.
2. Submit the search.
3. The results should surface your model's parts listing, typically organized with a parts diagram.
4. If you already know the part number (for example, from an old part or a manual), search that instead and verify the result fits your model.

Expected result: a model-specific parts page where each part is tied to a position on the diagram, so you can confirm you're looking at the correct component.

Common snag: if the search returns nothing, re-check the number for transposed digits and confirm you're using the model number, not the serial number.

Step 3: Browse by brand, department, or category

If you don't have the model number handy, or you want to explore what's available, the site organizes parts several ways:

Browsing is useful for orientation, but always finish by confirming the part against your specific model — a brand-level page can include parts for many models.

Step 4: Confirm the part with diagrams and repair content

Before you order, cross-check the part in two ways:

• Parts diagram: locate the part's position and reference number on your model's diagram. This confirms the shape, orientation, and location of the component.
• Repair articles and videos: the site's Repair Center includes instructional videos and articles, such as replacing the switch on a DeWALT DW708 miter saw, the miter saw blade lock pin, a corded drill switch, and jigsaw handle and base assemblies. These walkthroughs show what the part looks like in place and can catch a wrong selection before it ships.

The homepage also states an "OEM Guarantee" and "2+ Million Parts," so matching by model number keeps you within genuine replacement parts rather than aftermarket equivalents.

Quick checklist

• [ ] Model number copied exactly from the machine's plate
• [ ] Searched by model number (or part number) in "Find Parts Fast"
• [ ] Part located on the model's parts diagram
• [ ] Repair article or video reviewed where available
• [ ] Brand and department double-checked if you browsed instead of searched

Following this order — model number first, diagram second, repair content third — is the most reliable way to avoid ordering a part that looks right but fits a different model.
