This is a genuine replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components, restoring proper fit and preventing loose parts. It's a simple, low-cost fix to keep your appliance stable and quiet. What it does

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets or small components to the appliance frame
• Restores secure fit when original screws are missing, stripped, or corroded
• Helps stop rattling, vibration, or parts shifting during operation
• Works wherever the original matching screw was used

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before accessing internal parts
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten to prevent thread damage or cracking
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

The Screw is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool dryers. This screw connects the back panel to the side panel, ensuring the dryer cabinet is securely assembled. It plays an integral role in maintaining the structural integrity of the dryer housing.

Symptoms of a bad screw can include loosening, corrosion, or breakage over time and use. This can compromise the bond between panels and weaken the overall dryer frame.  

Causes of a bad screw include:

• Repeated expansion and contraction from heat cycles  
• Vibrations loosening the connection point
• Stress or cracks developing at the screw head or threads

These issues can lead to:

• Gaps appearing between panels
• Components like controls detaching from the housing
• Cabinet unable to withstand pressure changes  

This OEM Whirlpool replacement screw is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This grille is the front lower kick panel that covers and protects the area beneath an appliance's oven or range. It restores the unit's finished look while helping keep debris out of internal components. What it does:

• Covers and protects the lower front opening and internal components from dust, debris, and accidental contact
• Restores the appliance's factory appearance when the original panel is dented, cracked, or missing
• Helps direct airflow under the oven/range cabinet area for proper ventilation
• Prevents small items from falling into the cavity beneath the unit

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Access typically involves removing the lower access panel or opening the oven drawer—keep screws and fasteners for reassembly
• Use basic hand tools (screwdriver) and avoid forcing parts to prevent breakage
• If the grille is bent or fasteners are damaged, replace all affected hardware for a secure fit
