10 - 16 x 1/2

This 12-14 x 1/2 screw is a factory fastener used to secure appliance panels, brackets, and components. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a tight fit, reduces rattling, and keeps parts properly aligned for reliable operation.

• Secures panels, brackets, and internal components to their mounting points
• Replaces damaged, rusted, or missing hardware
• Helps stop vibration and rattling caused by loose fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and stability of covers or assemblies

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas/water before servicing
• Match the original screw's location and length; replace one at a time
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing
• Reinstall any original washers, clips, or spacers used with the screw

This ground screw secures the appliance grounding conductor to the chassis for a reliable electrical ground connection, helping maintain safety and proper operation. It's a direct-fit fastener used where a dedicated ground screw is required. What it does

• Fastens the grounding conductor to the appliance frame to maintain a secure earth/ground connection.
• Helps prevent electrical shock and reduces risk of stray voltage on the chassis.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent or absent grounding and loose or corroded ground connections.
• Used wherever the original equipment grounding screw has been lost, damaged, or corroded.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Only attach to designated grounding points on the chassis; ensure the mating surface is clean and free of paint or corrosion.
• Use the correct driver and moderate hand torque—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.

This kit replaces a temperature-control thermostat and its mounting plate in select dryers. It helps restore accurate heat regulation and consistent cycling, protecting against overheating and poor drying results when the original thermostat or bracket has failed.

• Senses exhaust air temperature and opens/closes contacts to control the heater
• Helps maintain consistent drying temperatures and safe operation
• Failure symptoms include no heat, insufficient heat, overheating, or erratic cycling
• Mounts with the included plate to ensure proper positioning of the thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas units, also shut off gas supply
• Access the thermostat location (typically on the blower/exhaust housing); note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Attach the thermostat to the plate and secure the assembly using existing hardware if new fasteners are not provided
• After reassembly, verify proper airflow and clean the lint path and venting
