When you repair an electrical apparatus : use only genuine parts.

Cost in real-estate maintenance is now so high that it is clearly a good choice to replace a defective part instead of changing the complete apparatus.

CSA / UL monograms point out that a product, a procedure or a service is conform to the standards of the association.

When you are not using a genuine replacement part, you are modifiying instead of repairing your electrical apparatus.
