Finding the correct spare part shouldn’t require guesswork, endless scrolling, or hoping the listing you clicked is “close enough.” That’s why we built Fixit Fox Finder, our AI-assisted parts finder designed to guide you to the right replacement part for your exact appliance, faster and with more confidence.
Whether you’re repairing a washing machine, dishwasher, cooker, fridge-freezer, tumble dryer, vacuum, or other home appliance, Fixit Fox Finder helps you identify suitable parts using model-specific catalogue data and links you directly to the matching products on Spares2Repair.
What is Fixit Fox Finder?
Fixit Fox Finder is an AI-assisted tool that helps you locate spare parts by combining your appliance details (brand + model number and, where relevant, variant codes from the rating plate) with an intelligent interpretation of what you actually need, for example: “I need a door seal,” “I need the heater,” “I need a pump,” or “my dishwasher isn’t draining.”
Instead of making you hunt through generic results, Fixit Fox Finder focuses on model-led part suggestions. That matters because spare parts can look identical but differ across model variants, revisions, and production batches and the exact model details are what makes matching reliable.
What Fixit Fox Finder Can Do Now
- Accept rating-plate images: If you can’t easily type the model number, you can upload a photo of the rating plate. Fixit Fox Finder can often extract the key details (brand/model and other identifiers where readable) to help you move faster.
- Auto-correct common mistypes: Appliance model numbers are easy to mistype. Fixit Fox Finder can often suggest corrected model candidates when a number looks close but not quite right.
- Find parts by part number: If you already have a part number (from the part itself, a manual, or a previous order), Fixit Fox Finder can help locate the matching product listing on Spares2Repair.
- Check compatibility: Where our data supports it, Fixit Fox Finder can help confirm whether a part is suitable for a specific appliance model helping reduce the risk of mis-orders.
- Symptom-led guidance: If you only know the problem (e.g., “not heating,” “leaking,” “not draining”), Fixit Fox Finder can often suggest the most likely part categories and then focus on model-relevant options.
The aim is simple: less time searching, fewer wrong orders, and a smoother path from “it’s broken” to “it’s fixed.”
How Fixit Fox Finder Works
- Share your appliance details (typically brand + model number from the rating plate). You can type it in or upload a clear image of the rating plate if that’s easier.
- Tell Fixit Fox Finder what you need a part name, part number, symptom, or repair goal.
- Fixit Fox Finder searches model-specific catalogue data to shortlist relevant candidates and reduce irrelevant results.
- We link you to matching products on Spares2Repair, so you can check details and order with confidence.
Key Benefits for Customers

- Less guesswork: Symptom-led guidance and compatibility checks help reduce mis-orders.

What Fixit Fox Finder Can Help You Find
Fixit Fox Finder is designed to help identify common appliance spare parts, including (but not limited to):
- Door seals and gaskets
- Pumps (drain pumps, circulation pumps)
- Heating elements and heaters
- Thermostats and temperature sensors
- Filters and hoses
- Trays, shelves, baskets, and drawers

If We Can’t Find Your Model or Part
Occasionally, even with a corrected model candidate, the catalogue may not return a result. This can happen if the available data is incomplete for that specific model/variant, or if we don’t stock parts for that appliance.
If Fixit Fox Finder can’t locate a match, the fastest next step is to contact our Customer Services team. Please include a clear rating plate photo and the full model number (including suffix/variant codes), and we’ll investigate.
