Found a place in Calgary selling 1000mm lengths, but I'd have to cut them and thread them.
Ended up just paying a few bucks more and ordering them directly from the Netherlands to avoid the hassle.

I go Reliable parts. Find part on site and go to the location that has it in stock.

+1 for reliable parts, you're in vancouver the nearest one should be inside trail appliances on grandview highway, from the front door walk to the back on the left for the parts counter.
do your research and get the part #, the counter person just punches it in and not really helpful in sourcing the part.
OEM parts can be pricier but you know will work.

Think Evofire is closer to the Trail Appliances by Richmond IKEA which also has a counter at the back of the store. The staff behind the counter was friendly the few times I used them FWIW.

My experience with Reliable and Trail for parts is a mixed bag. Somehow and for some reason, Amazon always comes out on top. My caveat to that is I know which exact parts I need.
If he's in a "I need it nao!" situation, then I guess those two are his main options.

^ I kept my archaic laundry machines going because if it ever came to fixing a newer one, I'd probably be forced to buy new due to the complexity with more computers and fancy features. It's usually been a part that's less than a $100 to get it up and running again.

but isnt the old machines not as clean as the newer ones? i don't know if I believe the hype but it does seem like the new "steam clean" machines do better laundry than my older ones.

some times amazon doesn't have OEM, and with aftermarket you really need to be sure you have the right part or you end up sending it back. happened to me with a plumbing cartridge before.
i've worked on my washer 2 or 3 times, usually part is under $100 thus worth keeping it going. my POV is they're not very complicated systems so if you keep it running great, they don't make 'em like they used to. i stretched it out another 5+ years easy.
that being said i recently replaced mine, the motor i believe was toast and the cost to replace the part itself was hundreds so i'm like screw it, time to upgrade.
but it was such a PITA as my laundry room in the cookie cutter vancouver home is so small, basically have to remove the laundry sink (which i wanted gone anyway, never used it).
have to be careful with new tech these days, my friend has a 2 in 1 heat pump model that was on the fritz months in. complicated tech, not cheap parts... good thing it is still under warranty for him...
the new one we have i'm certain i won't be able to work on it anymore, if it's on the fritz i'd need an appliance tech or replace it...
not sure about dryers though, knock on wood i never had to bother with mine but not sure how easy they are to work on.

When we moved into our current place in 2020, the washing machine and dryer were extremely old and drew so much power. They were way beyond fixing.
In the case of buying new, yes, it was actually cheaper to buy new than repair because the parts alone cost more than a new top of the line set. I'm normally one who would prefer to repair first, but financially both long and short term, the clear winner was buying new.
Re: Steam clean - yes. I find that when used properly, it cleans better. I like it for washing my work shirts. Sorry, I don't have an assistant who takes my laundry in for dry cleaning.

We have a "new fangled" heatpump dryer, which isn't all that complicated. In the grand scheme of things, it's a drum with a motor that turns it, and a heatpump that heats up the air being cycled through. The hot moist air condenses on the cold side and the pump removes the collected water. In this case the pump died. It actually worked when I level the waste hose, and the moment I let the hose droop and gravity no longer works as the hose loops, the dryer throws an error.
The dryer knows well enough what's broken and threw up an error code which tells me what's broken. Online search told me what I needed to do. Now I just actually need to get to the part, test it, and replace it.

We also have a condensing dryer and a very common issue is the impeller/sump in the back gets clogged with lint goo and ultimately will throw a code after trying to dry a fresh load, really dumb design.
I ended up watching a few YouTube videos and eventually opened mine up and cleaned it all out, it’s like 25 screws but very straightforward. I wouldn’t doubt people just toss the unit when it starts acting up or pay a repairman a couple hundred to clean this thing out when it’s about a 25 minute job for anyone who can work a screw driver
We had probably had our units for about 6-7 years before it happened though so it’s not so bad, although we typically only do 2-3 loads a week max

Yea.. I closed it all up and had 4-5 left over, had to go back like 3-4 steps to secure stupid little panels and shit that you’d never think need a screw

Looking for Chinese New Year dresses / Qi Paos / CNY clothing that will fit my 7 month old daughter?
All the one's on Amazon arrive after CNY
Chinatown? Parker Place? Crystal Mall doesn't seem to have too many clothing stores

Thanks in advance! | Try LT Fashions 3405 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC, they used to be on Victoria drive and 43rd? We haven't been there in years, but they carry Qi Paos etc. No idea what sizes they carry.

try Temu or Shen. They move their items to their local warehouses so usually you'll get them in less than a few days.

Anyone know which stores would carry 5/8"-11 hex cap screws? Home Depot tops out at 1/2" and the guy there say 5/8" is a size that's "commercial" grade.
I'm basically looking for this locally with the nut: https://www.fastenal.ca/product/details/13325

You can also try calling Fastenal to identify potential retailers that would carry it.
