I'd buy the thing from a good appliance store, and have THEIR GUY install it!

Then if anything went wrong, they'd be on the hook--at least for awhile.

Wish I could be of more help, but the only thing I can suggest if you want to DIY is to see if they have the same essential model, only newer, from the same manufacturer!
