Appliance Parts for Rental Properties: What to Stock

Appliance Parts for Rental Properties: What to Stock

Written for PRS Parts Inc. – Honolulu, HI

If you manage or own rental properties in Hawaii, you know how important it is to keep appliances running smoothly. Whether you're dealing with short-term vacation rentals or long-term leases, a broken appliance can quickly become a tenant complaint—and an unexpected expense.

At PRS Parts Inc., we help property managers stay prepared by stocking the right appliance parts before something breaks. Here’s a guide to the essential parts every rental property owner should have on hand.

🔧 Why Keep Appliance Parts in Stock?

  • Minimize tenant disruption: Quick repairs mean fewer complaints.

  • Avoid downtime: Get appliances working again without waiting for shipments.

  • Save on emergency service calls: Many issues can be resolved in-house or by a trusted handyman.

  • Hawaii-specific advantage: Avoid costly delays due to shipping restrictions and delays to the islands.

🛠 The Must-Have Replacement Parts for Rentals

1. Dryer Thermal Fuses and Heating Elements

Dryers in rental units often get heavy use. Thermal fuses and heating elements are common failure points that are easy to replace.

2. Washer Suspension Rods and Drain Pumps

Off-balance washers or slow-draining machines are a frequent headache. Suspension rods and pumps are affordable parts that solve common performance issues.

3. Refrigerator Door Gaskets

Worn-out gaskets lead to poor cooling and energy loss. A quick swap keeps the fridge running efficiently and your tenants happy.

4. Burner Elements and Igniters (for Stoves/Ovens)

Electric coil burners and gas igniters are cheap, simple to replace, and often blamed when a stove “stops working.”

5. Dishwasher Seals and Drain Hoses

Leaks are a top cause of dishwasher calls. Stock seals and drain hoses to stop leaks quickly and avoid water damage.

6. Microwave Filters and Turntable Motors

Microwaves are often overlooked—until they stop turning or venting. Filters and motors are easy-to-stock solutions.

🌺 Local Tip for Hawaii Landlords

📦 Pro Tip: Build a Rental Parts Bin

Use a small bin or cabinet at each property (or your maintenance shop) to store these essentials:

  • Thermal fuse

  • Drain pump

  • Burner elements

  • Gaskets

  • Hoses

  • Common screws, wire nuts, and clamps

Label everything by brand and appliance model for easy access.
