Parts for Whirlpool RF3000XVN1: 06 - Door Parts

Replacement 1/4-inch hex flange nut that secures panels, brackets and other appliance hardware. Restores a firm connection to reduce rattling and keep assemblies aligned for reliable operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, hinges and small assemblies to maintain proper alignment.
• Prevents loose or vibrating panels that can cause noise or premature wear.
• Replaces missing, stripped or damaged nuts to restore secure mounting.
• Works where a flange provides extra bearing surface to resist loosening.

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before beginning service.
• Use the correct socket or wrench size to avoid rounding the nut; hand-start threads to prevent cross-threading.
• Do not overtighten; tighten until components are seated and secure.
• Replace any damaged mating fasteners or hardware to ensure a reliable repair.
