Default Domestic appliances - recommended parts suppliers?

A google search brings up a fair number of sites which supply assorted
parts for domestic appliances, but which suppliers are the 'best' and
don't charge extortionate prices?

Also, is there any where that service manuals for domestic appliances
can be download at a minimal cost or for free?

Thanks

In general your first port of call should be the manufacturer's own
website; almost anything relatively recent should be on there.

CPC have a parts finder service for most white and brown goods. Much of
it is only available on the phone though rather than the web site.

Used to be very good. Last time I tried to use it, a part they used
to stock was now 14 days to order from manufacturer, and parts they
haven't been asked for before were something like a week to consult
the manufacturer for availability and pricing and then 2 weeks to order.
I hope that's just a blip on what has been an excellent service in the
past.

I used it about a year ago for a bespoke speaker for a TV - they seemed
to be able to get that in about three days. Not sure if it was from
stock of theirs or Philips though.

CPC can be quite good - but you have to contact them as much of that sort
of stock isn't on their website.
