This screw kit provides replacement fasteners used to secure appliance panels and internal components, helping restore proper fit and reduce vibration or rattling caused by missing or damaged screws. Ideal for maintenance and small repairs. What it does:

• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged screws to restore secure panel and component attachment
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, and loose or misaligned panels
• Allows reassembly after part replacement or routine service
• Works with the appliance's original mounting points and threaded holes

• Always disconnect power and, if applicable, gas supply before servicing the appliance
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping screw heads
• Tighten screws snugly but avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack panels
• Keep small fasteners away from children and pets; work on a stable, well-lit surface

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and components inside appliances. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a snug, rattle-free fit using the correct #8-18 thread and 5/8-inch length.

• Fastens covers, trims, brackets, and internal parts to the cabinet/frame
• Used wherever a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is specified
• Replace if the original is missing, corroded, stripped, or will not tighten
• Symptoms: loose or rattling panels, gaps, or hardware that backs out

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water before servicing
• Match thread and length; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit and tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• Inspect and replace damaged clips or tabs before securing
