This replacement screw fastens internal components and panels so parts stay secure and quiet. It's a direct-fit fastener used where the original mounting screw is missing or damaged to restore proper assembly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets or components to prevent movement and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for covers and access panels
• Stops rattling or loose-fitting parts caused by a missing or stripped screw
• Works as the factory-specified fastener for the original mounting point

• The screw location and type before installing; use the original hole and thread
• Power off and disconnect the appliance before accessing internal components
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug with the appropriate screwdriver
• Do not overtighten — stop once the part is secure to avoid stripping or cracking

Ice maker not making ice or water leaking? A faulty water inlet valve often causes these issues. This DIY fix takes 5-15 minutes with basic tools.

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supplies water from the household plumbing to the ice maker, ensuring a consistent and reliable production of ice cubes. This kit includes a 1/4-inch plastic water line that is approximately 72 inches long. The tubing will need to be cut to match the desired length.

Causes of a bad water line can include wear and tear from prolonged use, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to punctures or cracks. A compromised water line can result in inadequate ice production or water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Leaking water from the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or damage to the water line
• Ice cubes that are smaller than usual

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

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.
