Parts for Amana AMV1162AAS: 03 - Installation Parts

This flat washer provides a durable spacer and load-bearing surface for a fastener, helping secure components and distribute pressure to prevent damage. It's a simple hardware replacement that restores proper fastening in appliance assemblies. What it does:

• Creates a smooth bearing surface between a bolt or screw head and the mounted part
• Helps distribute clamping force to prevent cracking or deformation
• Reduces loosening caused by vibration when used with the correct fastener
• Common symptom: loose or shifting panels, brackets, or components where fasteners sit
• Common symptom: visible missing or damaged washer at a mounting point

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before starting any repair
• Use the original-size washer or the exact replacement to ensure proper fit and function
• Inspect mating fastener and threaded hole for wear or damage; replace if needed
• Tighten fasteners evenly to manufacturer torque recommendations; avoid over-tightening
