The Drain Fitting is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for directing the water from the defrost cycle or ice maker to the appropriate drain line, ensuring proper drainage and preventing water buildup or leaks.

Symptoms of a faulty refrigerator drain fitting include:

• Water leaks near the bottom of the refrigerator
• Buildup of ice or water in the drain pan
• Noticeable odors from stagnant water

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.

The Screw is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool appliances. The precise threads allow screws to join or assemble other parts securely.

Symptoms of a bad screw include: 

• Loosened or detached components that were once fastened 
• Reduced structural integrity of connections or assemblies
• Potential safety hazards if critical parts become dislodged

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