Parts for Ge VFD31EDSR0WW: Control Panel Parts

This tapping screw is a self-tapping fastener used to secure panels and components on compatible appliances, restoring secure mounting and preventing loose or vibrating parts. It's a direct replacement for a single factory screw. What it does:

• Threads into sheet metal or plastic mounting points to hold panels, brackets, or small components
• Replaces missing or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling
• Helps restore proper alignment and secure connections for controls and covers
• Works where a self-tapping fastener is required instead of a machine screw

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage
• Start threading by hand to ensure proper engagement, then tighten until snug — do not over-torque
• Replace only with the exact part to ensure fit and proper fastening

This screw secures the power cord/strain relief to the appliance chassis, keeping the cord anchored and reducing stress on the wire connection. Replaces a lost or damaged mounting screw to restore a secure cord attachment. What it does:

• Fastens the power cord strain relief to the appliance cabinet to prevent cord movement
• Helps stop the cord from pulling on internal electrical connections that can cause arcing or intermittent power
• Restores a tight, stable attachment when the original screw is corroded, stripped, or missing

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Verify the strain relief is correctly seated around the cord before tightening the screw
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading; tighten until secure but do not over-torque (over-tightening can crack plastic or strip threads)

This is a ST3.5 x 12 self-tapping screw designed to secure trim, panels, and small appliance components. It replaces stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit and reduce movement or vibration. What it does:

• Fastens appliance panels, brackets, or trim where ST3.5 x 12 screws are specified
• Helps stop rattling, loose panels, or parts that shift during operation
• Provides a secure threaded hold in thin sheet metal or plastic mounting points
• Matches OEM fit where the WH02X26267 screw is specified

• Use the properly sized Phillips driver to avoid cam-out and head damage
• Start screws straight and apply steady pressure; do not over-torque to prevent stripping
• Wear eye protection when working with small fasteners and sharp edges
• Compare size and thread to ensure a proper match
