parts-predict is a web tool that helps you work out how old an appliance really is, and whether spare parts are still available for it. Enter the make, model number, and serial number, and parts-predict researches that exact appliance to estimate its age and the year it was built — no manuals to hunt down and no guesswork on your part.

From there, it scores out of 100 how likely you are to still find spare parts for that exact model. The score takes into account how old the appliance is, whether the brand is still trading and still supports the model, whether the model has been discontinued, and how easy that model's parts are to find in your country's parts suppliers. If you are hunting for one specific component — a fan motor, a pump, a control board or electronic sensor — you can name that part and get a score for it alone. Every assessment can be downloaded as a PDF report showing the appliance details, the estimated age, the availability score, and the manufacturer's support number in your native language.

parts-predict is built for homeowners deciding whether to repair or replace a machine, landlords and property managers, appliance repair technicians, facilities or maintenance managers and anyone buying second-hand equipment who wants to know if parts will still be easy to find. It is also useful when you are standing in front of an appliance and simply need the manufacturer's phone number.

parts-predict is built and maintained by an independent developer, who is also a repair technician — just enter your appliance details and get an answer, saving you time and money and effort.
