Dryer Screws, Nuts, Washers

This SCR 8-18 AB 1/2 is a replacement silicon controlled rectifier that restores proper power control to the appliance's control circuitry, helping the unit switch and regulate current reliably. What it does:

• Controls current flow in the appliance's power/control circuit for timed or regulated output
• Replaces a failed or intermittent SCR to stop erratic cycling, no-power, or control malfunctions
• Commonly used where electronic switching or phase control is required
• Helps restore stable operation when heating or motor circuits fail to receive proper control signals

• One SCR 8-18 AB 1/2 replacement component

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing electrical components
• Observe ESD precautions and handle the SCR by its body; avoid touching leads
• Verify wiring and mounting orientation match the original part before final assembly

Screw for control panel.

Flat metal washer that helps secure fasteners and evenly distribute load on mounting points. Replacing a worn or corroded washer restores proper fastener grip, reduces vibration, and stops loose or rattling parts. What it does:

• Provides a smooth bearing surface for nuts and bolts, preventing pull-through and damage
• Distributes clamping force to protect mounting surfaces and maintain alignment
• Helps reduce vibration and noise from loose or worn fasteners
• Replace when bent, corroded, cracked, or missing to restore secure mounting

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning repairs; follow all safety precautions
• Use the correct size fastener and torque to avoid over-tightening or crushing the washer
• Inspect surrounding hardware and replace any damaged or corroded bolts, nuts, or brackets

This replacement screw secures panels, trim pieces and small assemblies so covers and components stay aligned and rattle-free. It's a simple, direct fastening part used when an original screw is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, control housings and other small components to the appliance chassis
• Replaces missing, worn or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling noises
• Restores correct alignment of covers and trims after service or disassembly
• Provides a direct, hardware-level repair instead of temporary fixes

• Disconnect power (and gas, where applicable) and ensure the appliance is cool before starting.
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and turn until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Keep removed hardware for reference; replace like-for-like if threads or inserts are damaged.
• Wear eye protection and gloves when working on appliances.

This idler pivot screw secures the dryer idler assembly so the belt stays properly tensioned for smooth drum rotation. It's a small but critical mounting fastener for the idler/pulley system. What it does:

• Secures the idler/pulley pivot to the dryer chassis so the tensioner can hold the drive belt.
• Restores proper belt alignment and tension when the original pivot screw is missing or worn.
• Helps stop belt slippage and related noise when the idler assembly is loose.
• Works with the idler/pulley components to allow even, stable drum rotation.

• One idler pivot screw

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before accessing internal dryer parts.
• Basic hand tools required; retain small fasteners to avoid loss during reassembly.
• If the idler or pulley shows wear, inspect and replace the entire idler assembly rather than only the screw.

This screw back housing is a rear housing piece that holds and aligns screws and fasteners on the appliance's rear panel, helping maintain proper panel fit and component placement for safe, quiet operation. What it does:

• Secures rear-panel screws and fasteners to keep the back panel stable and aligned
• Supports adjacent components to prevent rubbing, vibration, or rattling noises
• Restores proper panel fit that can affect airflow or clearance around internal parts
• Helps prevent loose or misaligned panels that could expose wiring or components

• Always disconnect power before attempting any repair.
• Remove the rear access panel and keep track of screws and fasteners; note orientation before removing the old housing.
• Replace with the exact OEM part and reuse correct screws; do not overtighten to avoid stripping the housing.
• If adjacent clips or fasteners are damaged, inspect and replace them to ensure a secure fit.

This Nut-Strip Door Guide secures the door guide/strip to the appliance, helping keep the door aligned and operating smoothly. Replace a worn or missing nut to restore proper fit and prevent the guide from loosening. What it does

• Fastens the door guide/strip to the appliance frame or door
• Keeps the door guide stable to maintain proper door alignment
• Helps prevent the guide or trim strip from shifting or falling off
• Commonly replaced when the guide is loose, missing, or stripped

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use appropriate hand tools (screwdriver/socket) and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
• Inspect the door guide/strip and surrounding fasteners; replace any damaged parts for proper fit.
