Just bought a new door seal for a Siemens washing machine which was described as a ‘Genuine part’.
How can I tell if it is genuine, would it be marked in some way?
Can’t find any marks on my item.Re: Identifying a genuine Siemens part.
Its all in the wording, was it described as a ‘Genuine part to fit’ a Siemens or a ‘Genuine Siemens’ part. There is a small but subtle difference. 😉
Often quite a big difference in quality though. 😥
Good point could be a play on words I suppose.
Just thought the real McCoy would have some sort of small marking on it?
Re: Identifying a genuine Siemens part.
That is nearly always the case.
Some ‘pattern’ spares are actually sourced from the people who manufacture the parts for the appliance makers and will be of the same quality in most cases. Others are just blatant copies and the quality can vary enormously.
With door seals you can often see and feel the difference.
