This is a replacement screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It restores proper fit and prevents loose parts that cause vibration, rattling, or misalignment for a tighter, safer assembly. What it does:

• Secures covers, trim, brackets, or control panels to the appliance frame
• Keeps components aligned to prevent rattling and movement during operation
• Replaces stripped, missing, or damaged fasteners that compromise fit
• Helps restore structural stability for normal operation

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Hand-start the screw and tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can crack plastic or strip threads
• If threads are damaged, replace with correct OEM fastener.

• Prevents rattling, vibration, or movement caused by a loose or missing nut
• Replaces a stripped, corroded, or lost nut to restore proper mechanical connection
