A replacement pan head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components. Its standard #8 coarse thread and 3/8-inch length secure trim, brackets, and small assemblies for stable operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small parts in household appliances
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing #8-18 pan head screws
• Restores secure mounting where vibration or wear caused looseness
• Works with sheet-metal or threaded inserts designed for #8-18 screws

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct #2 Phillips or compatible driver to avoid cam-out
• Thread in straight and tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping
• Keep small screws away from children and dispose of old fasteners safely

This is the cycle timer for a washing machine. It controls the sequence and duration of wash, rinse, and spin cycles so the washer progresses through a complete program as selected.

• Rotates internal contacts to switch the motor, pump, fill valves, and spin on and off in order
• Helps resolve issues like a washer not advancing cycles, stopping mid-cycle, or skipping wash/rinse/spin
• Also addresses irregular cycle timing or a timer that won't turn/advance when set

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply for safety
• Access is typically from the control console; transfer wiring one at a time to matching terminals
• Mount the timer to the panel and ensure the timer shaft aligns with the control knob and dial
• Test a short cycle after reassembly to ensure proper advance through each step

This replacement dryer timer advances the cycle sequence and lets the dryer move through timed and automatic settings so clothes dry on the selected cycle. Restores selector/timer control when the original timer fails. What it does:

• Controls cycle advancement so the dryer progresses through timed and automatic cycles
• Enables selection of timed and automatic dry settings via the control knob
• Common symptom: dryer won't advance through cycles or stays stuck on a setting
• Needed if the timer knob doesn't respond, the timer won't turn, or cycles do not complete

• Always disconnect power to the dryer before starting any repair
• Access usually requires removing the control panel or console—handle trim and fasteners carefully
• Note wire locations or take a photo before disconnecting harnesses to ensure correct reassembly
