Thought those 'universal' washer door lock parts were junk until a job in Tacoma

Had a Samsung front loader with a busted lock and the OEM part was backordered for weeks. A guy at the parts house sold me a generic one for 15 bucks, said it would work. I put it in expecting to be back in two days, but that was six months ago and the customer hasn't called. Still works. Anyone else had a generic part surprise them like that?

Ever think you just got lucky with that one part? Most of those cheap fixes fail fast and leave the customer mad at you.

Read a study showing cheap parts fail twice as often.
