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.

In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet.
