Hello!

I have faulty Philips food processor and I have found service codes for
parts. I can't find those components anywhere.
What are usual places to look home electronics spare parts?

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Are you in the UK? You don't seem to be a native speaker.

Yes, indeed I'm outside UK. I should have specified that I look Internet

Thanks for asking that!

These days, it is often worth trying eBay instead of a traditional
supplier, lots of people buy stuff wholesale and sell on-line. Check
feedback if you are worried about eBay. If someone has had 99.5%
positive feedback from 10,000 sales there should not be much to worry about.

You still didn't say what components you were looking for.

I omitted specific part numbers, because I wanted broad answer. I hoped
that there is some chinese shop or something like that selling
components for home electronics. Useful for broader audience and my
future endeavors
But in this time, I look Philips HR7775/00 part 4203 035 91260 (Safety
switches New model). I looked into ebay, can't find it.

Thanks for Your replies, newshound!

They just look like a pair of microswitches, presumably if you have the
original parts you could match some equivalents from e.g.

Depends on how old it is. If its from an old one when Philips actually made
stuff, then its probably too old to fix, but the other problem is you need
to find the importer of the device and see if they do service them. many do
have part numbers but trying to find anyone who will actually supply them
cheaper than a new device is hard these days.

Too old to fix eh. I can still fix pre-war appliances ok.

If it's some sort of switch, why not open it & clean the contacts. If they're oxidised use a pencil eraser. If they're burnt & pitted use emery paper.

Sometimes you don't find parts just from the part number, but you can find
something suitable with more searching. For instance, the part might be for
a white fridge but there's another part for a silver fridge that you can
source. Or the same part might be used for a Zanussi and an Electrolux,
with different internal part numbers. It can help using google to look for
parts lists, service manuals, etc.

Quite often parts show up on websites of vendors who have no stock, or are
somewhere you can't order easily (China etc). Those websites frequently
have lists of models that the part fits, or numbers of equivalent parts. If
you then search for those, you might find suppliers of other compatible
parts.

Also, it's worth knowing the name of your part in other languages. eg a
Miele part is much more likely to be described in German than English.

Pictures are everything - once you've followed down three levels of linked
part numbers, you need to check that it's still the right one!

It's hard work, but there's a lot of stock out there if you can find it.
For instance, I've found obscure 30 year old car and appliance parts
with a lot of digging.

Good luck!

Microswitches are not worth fiddling with, IMHO, since they are usually
standard sizes and readily available. Small ones are normally glued shut
and difficult to open without destroying them.

In any case, if it is an AC mains switch it is going to fail because of
spring failure or contact erosion beyond what can be compensated for.
They won't be helped by cleaning.


It is worth mentioning that spares are going to be either proprietary
parts which need tracing by maker's part number, or generic parts that
can be obtained much more cheaply from an electronics distributor.
Though it is sometimes difficult to tell which is which, especially if
they aren't marked with a generic part number.

These are generic microswitches, but one needs to check the dimensions
of the levers.

Switches are best opened when you don't have spares. If you do, sure, just replace.

I've fixed many switches with burnt contacts with a little file or emery paper. Maybe I was hallucinating on each occasion. It does raise the question of why you think they would not work when clean flat metal is exposed on each surface.

You can 'recover' them for awhile, provided you don't remove too much.
Generally the contacts have layers, the top layer lasts longer. Once
that is removed, the lower layer will 'wear' much more quickly.

The same is true for relays.

Whether is it worth the effort is a matter of choice. If you can't get a
replacement, or the part is expensive etc. all come into the choice.

Never even bothered looking inside one, given how cheap they are. Assuming
you can find an identical replacement, which can take some searching.

Sure, and sometimes there's less metal surface area too. That doesn't stop them working for years.
