Original, compatible and what the rules say
Listings in South Africa mix original manufacturer parts with compatible ones, so check the part number on the old component before you order. Regulator guidelines on repair, service and maintenance define spare parts as legal replacement components, and the right-to-repair rules cover repairs outside warranty protection. Manufacturers must make spares available for 7 to 10 years after the last unit is placed on the market, depending on the product category. Extended warranties are optional and can be bought from the manufacturer or an insurer, so ask which cover you already have. Warranties differ by brand: Bosch's South African warranty, for example, lists full cover in the first year and functional parts cover after that.
Summer heat and winter use
November is the start of summer, which runs from December to February. The heat puts extra strain on fridges, freezers and air-conditioning, so fan motors and compressor-related parts are common requests in those months. Winter, from June to August, sees heavier use of tumble dryers and heaters, so dryer elements and thermostats are typical requests then.
Delivery, units and how parts are priced
Sellers in the main cities send parts by courier, so ask the cost and delivery time to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha before you pay. Hose sizes are given in millimetres, for example a drain hose at 22 to 29 mm, so measure the old hose across its diameter. Parts are priced per item, and a kit such as a set of seals or a door assembly costs more than a single part. Ask whether the price includes VAT.
What to write in your request
Name the appliance and its brand, the model number from the rating plate, and the part you need, such as a drain pump, door seal or heating element. Add the part number if you have the old one, say whether you want original or compatible, and tell the seller if you need a technician to fit it. Include your city for delivery and your budget in rand.
BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the part in your own words in the chat, and add a photo of the old part if you have one. The AI reads your request, asks for missing details such as the model number, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers receive the request and reply in the chat with their price and delivery terms, while your contact details stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them.

Both are sold. Check the part number on the old component, then ask the seller which kind they supply and whether it is an original manufacturer part.
Do spare parts come with a warranty?
Warranty terms vary. Some spares sellers give three months on parts, and repair work is often covered for 90 days, but ask each seller for their terms before you buy.

Ask the seller whether they deliver to your city and what the courier costs and how long it takes. Sellers in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha can be asked the same question.
