Parts for Maytag UMV1142AAB: 05 - Internal Controls Parts

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 fuse block is the appliance electrical terminal used to secure and connect a fuse or wire harness, restoring a safe electrical path for heating and motor circuits. It helps maintain reliable power transfer inside the appliance. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point and electrical connection for a fuse or inline connection
• Enables proper power flow between the control and high-voltage components
• Can cause loss of power, intermittent operation, or heating issues when damaged or corroded
• Replaces a worn, cracked, or melted terminal block to restore safe connections

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle wiring carefully; secure all splices and fasteners to manufacturer torque recommendations

This electrical safety fuse opens the circuit when a short or overcurrent occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power after the root cause is corrected, protecting controls and wiring from further damage.

• Protects the appliance by interrupting power during overcurrent or short-circuit events
• When open/blown, the appliance may be completely unresponsive
• Helps prevent damage to control boards and wiring during faults
• Often fails after a component shorts or a power surge occurs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity; replace only if open
• Install a fuse with the exact same rating and form factor as the original
• If the new fuse blows again, stop and diagnose the underlying fault; consider service for high-voltage systems
