When repairing appliances, you’ll often hear the term OEM parts. Here’s why they matter.
What Are OEM Parts? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. These are the exact parts your appliance was originally built with.
Why Choose OEM Over Aftermarket?
• Reliability: Designed to fit perfectly and work as intended.
• Warranty Protection: Helps maintain your manufacturer’s warranty.
• Longevity: Aftermarket parts may fail sooner or perform inconsistently.
Examples: Using a genuine Sub-Zero compressor instead of an aftermarket one ensures proper cooling performance. An OEM KitchenAid dishwasher pump will last longer and run quieter.
Pro Tip: At Airtexno, we only use genuine OEM or manufacturer-approved parts for all appliance repairs in Thousand Oaks and Ventura County.
