This is a genuine OEM washer sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in many dishwashers and other appliances. Washers are used to help distribute the load a screw or bolt carries when connecting components. For example, in a dishwasher, the handle has two screws, one on each side, connecting it to the central unit. These screws have washers on them that help the screws bear the weight of pulling the dishwasher door open and closed repeatedly. Over time, the washers may warp and become loose, causing them not to sit flush on the screw. When the washers are damaged, they should be replaced to prevent further damage. Before working on the dishwasher, disconnect the power source. Locate the screw and washer that need to be replaced. Remove the screw and take the washer off the end. Install a new washer on the screw and reinstall it in the dishwasher. Reconnect the power. This washer is made of high quality metal; it is sold as an individual unit. Screws are not included with the washer. This washer is specifically designed for use in dishwashers manufactured by Bosch.

This replacement screw fastens appliance panels and components to keep assemblies secure and stable. It restores proper fit where a missing or stripped screw causes loose panels, rattling, or misaligned parts. What it does

• Replaces lost, stripped, or corroded fasteners that allow vibration or gaps
• Helps maintain proper alignment of doors, access panels, and mounting brackets
• Small hardware solution used where original mounting screws have failed

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal parts
• Use the proper screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; snug to manufacturer torque recommendations if available
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating nut or insert as needed
