For appliances, price and photos are only the start. Dimensions, connections, warranty and return terms decide whether the purchase works in real life.
Exact dimensions and clearances
Verify width, height and depth from the manufacturer, including doors, handles and required ventilation space.
Connections
Check voltage, plug type, water, drainage, gas and installation requirements. Not every model fits existing utilities.
Regional warranty
Gray imports can be cheaper but may not include local warranty coverage. Verify the seller, service network and documentation.
Delivery and returns
Large appliances are expensive to ship back. Check who pays for returns and what happens if the unit arrives damaged.
Bottom line
Keep the solution simple: start with the most likely cause, change one factor at a time, and observe the result. That makes it much easier to identify what actually works in your situation.
