Parts for Whirlpool IFR82001: 02 - Control Panel Parts

This factory screw secures appliance components to their mounting points. Replace missing, worn, or stripped hardware to restore a tight fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation across the affected assembly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, or internal parts to the chassis or frame
• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal

This push-button switch is the control-panel user-input switch that restores button responsiveness and reliable selection input. Replace a broken, stuck, or intermittently working button to regain normal front-panel control. What it does:

• Acts as the momentary push-button contact for the appliance control console.
• Replaces buttons that are physically cracked, stuck, or that fail to register presses.
• Helps stop intermittent or no-response conditions caused by worn or disconnected switches.
• Restores normal tactile feedback and electrical contact when the button is pressed.

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or turn off circuit breaker) before attempting any repair.
• Access the control panel per your model's service instructions; handle sharp edges and fasteners carefully.
• Note wire connector orientation and secure all electrical connections before reassembly.
• Test the switch operation after reconnecting power and before completing reassembly.

Mounting screw secures panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance frame. Replace if screw is stripped, missing, or damaged to restore secure fastening.
