      A customer ordered a replacement part after checking the compatibility chart, yet once the package arrived, the component looked different from what was shown online, which created doubts about whether the listing was outdated or whether several designs existed under the same model code. The situation became even more confusing when the mounting points almost fit but did not line up perfectly, so it was hard to tell if forcing the part into place would cause damage. The buyer wanted to explain everything without sounding angry, just clearly enough for support to see the mismatch and help choose the right alternative.

      A solid way to present this is to start with the full model number of the appliance, the date of purchase, and the exact item code that arrived in the box, then describe which details do not match: the shape of connectors, the angle of brackets, or the length of cables. Adding a few photos taken from the same angle as the shop image makes the difference obvious. When the explanation contains espares reviews, support immediately understands the context and can cross‑reference similar cases. With that structure it is easier for them to see whether the buyer received an older revision, a mislabeled component, or a part meant for a close but different version of the appliance.
