Here is a fact most sellers won't tell you.
Cheap generic LG parts can void your warranty and damage other components.
That is not a scare tactic. It is how tight LG engineering tolerances work. A pump impeller that is 1mm off the spec will cavitate. A thermostat 2 degrees out causes frost build-up.

Why Genuine LG Parts Are Worth It
LG designs its appliances to very tight specs.
Parts that sort of fit will sort of work. Until they don't. And when they fail, they often take other parts with them.
Genuine LG parts give you exact factory fit, full warranty protection (critical if your machine is under 24 months old), and longer service life.
Non-genuine parts often void your LG warranty. Check your warranty card before fitting anything third-party.
LG Fridge Parts: Most Common in NZ
LG French door and side-by-side fridges are all over NZ kitchens.
Here is what breaks most. Browse LG fridge parts by model.
Water filters: LT1000P, LT800P, LT700P
Different fridge generations use different series. LT1000P fits newer models. LT800P suits older ones. Check your model number before ordering.
The LT120F (ADQ73334010) is the carbon air filter, not the water filter. Replace every six months. Fits models including GC-D247SL and GF-5D712BSL.
Door shelves and crisper drawers
Crisper drawers crack from heavy veggie loads. Door bins snap from milk bottles.
Both are five-minute swaps. Both cost well under $80.
Defrost heaters and sensors
Ice building up at the back of your LG fridge?
That is the defrost heater. Common fault in machines seven years or older.
LG Washing Machine Parts: Direct Drive vs Fuzzy Logic
Two completely different designs. Two different failure patterns.
Browse the full LG parts range once you know which type you have.
Direct Drive (no belt)
Bearing failure is the main fault. You will hear a loud whine on spin that gets worse week by week.
Drain pump clogs are second most common. Control board faults are rare but expensive when they happen.
Fuzzy Logic (belt-driven)
Drive belt slipping causes the drum to hesitate mid-cycle. Pump impeller wear causes grinding on drain. Lid switch failure stops the machine completing cycles.
The LG lid assembly AFG73369811 fits WTG6520 series. Common replacement when the hinge cracks or the switch fails.
LG Dishwashers and TV Remotes
LG dishwashers are popular in NZ for quiet operation. Spray arms block with food debris. Door seals leak after five to seven years. Drain pumps get damaged by coins and small bits.
Lost your LG remote? The genuine LG Magic Remote MR21GC (AKB76036504) fits many NZ LG NANO and QNED TVs. Cheap remotes miss key functions. Browse LG appliance parts for the full range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you really an LG authorised distributor?
Yes. Steve's Appliance Spares is an LG Authorised Spare Parts Distributor. Parts come through official LG channels. Not grey market, not imports.
Will non-genuine LG parts void my warranty?
Often yes. LG warranty terms usually require genuine parts for warranty repairs during the first 12–24 months. Check your warranty card before fitting anything third-party.
How long do LG washers last in NZ?
Direct Drive models commonly hit 10–12 years. Fuzzy Logic models 7–10 years. Hard water areas like Canterbury and Marlborough tend to shorten inlet valve and seal life.
