Parts for Kenmore 721.62253200 (72162253200, 721 62253200): Controller Parts

A Tap-Tite binding-head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-tapping metal thread is required. Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to restore secure assembly and reduce vibration or rattling. What it does:

• Creates its own mating thread in thin sheet metal for a secure hold without a nut.
• Holds panels, brackets, and trim in place to prevent looseness or movement.
• Commonly used where stripped, missing, or broken screws cause rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay attached.
• Compatible with standard screwdrivers or nut drivers sized to the binding-head.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before working on it.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Start straight and apply steady pressure; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the formed threads.
• If the original hole is badly damaged, assess for repair or use of a larger fastener as needed.

This is a replacement screw used to secure appliance components and panels. It restores proper fastening where a stripped, missing, or damaged screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does:

• Helps stop vibration-related noise from loose assemblies
• Replaces missing or corroded screws that prevent proper closures
• Restores secure mounting after repairs or disassembly

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug—do not over-torque to prevent thread damage
• Keep small parts away from children and pets
• Disconnect power or water before accessing internal parts
