Handyman
Finds Microwave Handle, Exceptional Ordering Experience at RepairClinic.com®
Phil,
a deputy sheriff in Louisiana, is by all accounts a handy guy. A licensed
aircraft, airframe and power plant technician, he knows his way around
electronics, and typically does all his own home repairs. However,
ordering parts online was something new.
When
the handle on the family's microwave came off, Phil and his wife
were stumped on where to find a replacement handle. Though they
were able to use the microwave, they quickly tired with the difficulty
of opening and closing it.
On his wife's
suggestion, Phil searched online for the replacement part. Some of the
sites he found had microwave handles, but sketchy online details left
him unsure of whether it was the right part for his unit.

Once on RepairClinic.com, Phil used the site's simple navigation to quickly
find microwave parts and the handle for his model. Though Phil had never
ordered a part online before, the amount of detail on RepairClinic.com
gave him the peace of mind that it was the right replacement handle.
"I was
very impressed with the site," Phil said. "There was an illustration
that matched our old handle, along with the measurements. I could measure
the current part and know that it was exactly the right thing."
In just three
days, the right replacement part arrived. In less than five minutes, Phil
had screwed on the new handle and the microwave was ready to go.
As a competent
repair man, Phil expected the microwave fix to be simple. What he didn't
expect was such a hassle-free online experience - the speed and ease of
finding, ordering and receiving the part.
"In
this age, it is more likely you will get the wrong part or that it will
be back-ordered," he said. "I will definitely use the site again
and recommend it."
