I've ordered from Appliance Parts Pros before. I especially like that a schematic is usually shown identifying the location of the parts which ensures i order the correct part when there may be similar names for different parts. I was concerned about the shipping cost but it didn't increase when i doubled my order so i just ordered spare parts for the same shipping cost; made that more appealing.
