General Electric Screws, Nuts, Washers

Replacement washer for trash compactor assemblies. Installs between fasteners and components to distribute load and prevent damage. Order if worn or missing.

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

A standard M3 hex nut used to secure compatible M3 bolts and studs in appliance assemblies. Small but essential, it restores proper fastening where a worn, stripped, or missing nut causes loose panels or components. What it does:

• Secures M3 threaded fasteners to hold panels, brackets, or small components in place
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded nuts that allow vibration or movement
• Helps stop rattling, misalignment, or intermittent electrical/contact issues caused by loose parts
• Used wherever an M3 nut is specified by the appliance manufacturer

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety instructions before accessing internal parts
• Use the correct M3 bolt and matching thread engagement; avoid cross-threading
• Tighten snugly but do not overtighten to prevent stripping threads or damaging parts
• Replace any accompanying damaged fasteners or hardware for a reliable repair

This motor mounting screw secures the motor to the appliance chassis so the motor stays aligned during operation. It's a direct-fit fastener that replaces worn, stripped, or missing motor screws to restore secure motor mounting. What it does:

• Fastens the motor to the appliance frame to maintain correct motor alignment and stability
• Prevents motor movement that can cause vibration, noise, or premature wear
• Replaces missing, damaged, or corroded motor mounting hardware
• Helps restore reliable operation after motor service or reassembly

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid electrical shock or injury
• Use the correct screwdriver or socket to avoid stripping the screw head
• Inspect mating threads and replace any damaged hardware or stripped inserts before final installation
• Tighten to secure fit; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack housings

A small flat washer used as a replacement fastening spacer that helps secure bolts and prevent metal-to-metal wear. Restores proper spacing and fastener tension so assemblies stay aligned and tight. What it does:

• Acts as a spacer and load-distribution surface under a bolt or nut
• Prevents fasteners from loosening and reduces metal wear at contact points
• Restores correct alignment where a missing or worn washer caused vibration or rattling
• Simple, durable replacement for worn or corroded washers in mechanical assemblies

• Disconnect power before servicing electrical appliances to avoid shock
• Use appropriate hand tools; replace with the same style and thickness for correct fit
• Inspect mating fasteners and surfaces; replace any damaged hardware
