Description

This lock nut secures fasteners and assemblies to prevent loosening from vibration and normal use. Replacing a damaged or worn lock nut restores a secure connection and reduces rattling or unstable components. What it does:

• Threads onto a mating stud or shaft to lock an assembly in place and resist vibration-related loosening.
• Keeps components aligned and secured so moving parts don't shift or rattle during operation.
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing nuts that no longer hold threads properly.
• Used wherever a reliable mechanical lock is required to maintain safe, consistent operation.

What's included: One lock nut. Install notes:

• Disconnect power and/or water to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Remove the old nut and inspect mating threads and the stud/shaft for damage or corrosion.
• Hand-start the nut to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the correct-sized wrench; avoid overtightening.
• If the original used a specific locking feature (nylon insert, lock washer, etc.), replace with the same style for proper retention.
