The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances. This specific screw is used in various locations within Whirlpool appliances, securing components and ensuring the stability and proper alignment of parts. It is designed to fit precisely and maintain a firm hold, contributing to the overall functionality and safety of the appliance.

Over time, screws can become worn or stripped due to regular use, corrosion, or over-tightening. 

Causes of a bad screw include wear and tear, exposure to moisture leading to rust, and over-tightening which can strip the threads.

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or wobbly components
• Misalignment of parts
• Noise due to vibrating or loose parts
• Difficulty in securing or removing the screw

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.
