PartsSelect.com is a great resource for appliance parts. After you determine your ailing appliance's issue, snap a photo of your appliance model number tag (PartSelect will tell you where these numbers are), do a search, find the parts you need and get them on the way-chances are they will have it in stock. There are plenty of helpful videos on the site on how to make most common repairs. Save yourself hundreds of dollars by doing common repairs yourself, instead of paying someone or worse yet, buying a replacement appliance. Most failed parts issues are very common, and are well within the capability of most folks to repair. For example, my last repair was on a failed dryer drum roller wheel that was making a squealing noise and a worn out belt. A $39 kit, a couple of hours of time and the dryer is running like new. This repair would have easily cost a few hundred dollars.
