General Electric Screws, Nuts, Washers

This silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is an electrical control component used to regulate power in appliance circuits, helping control heating and motor circuits for reliable operation. What it does:

• Acts as a semiconductor switch to control current flow in a circuit
• Enables precise switching of power to heating elements or motors
• Can prevent uncontrolled power delivery when functioning correctly
• Faulty SCRs may cause intermittent operation, no power to a circuit, or erratic heating/motor behavior

• Disconnect all power before servicing; risk of shock or damage
• Handle as an electrostatic-sensitive device; avoid touching leads or terminals directly
• Verify mounting orientation and secure all connections per appliance wiring diagrams

This shoulder screw secures components while creating a precise spacer point for proper alignment and movement. Durable hardware replacement for assemblies that rely on a fixed shoulder to control travel and spacing. What it does:

• Acts as a fastener and built-in spacer to position components accurately
• Provides a smooth, cylindrical shoulder for moving parts to bear against
• Prevents over-insertion of screws and helps maintain alignment of panels or linkages
• Common symptom: missing, stripped, or damaged shoulder screw can cause loose parts, misalignment, or rattling

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the correct driver and avoid overtightening to protect threads and shoulder
• Keep small parts secure during installation to prevent loss or damage

A single special-purpose screw used to secure appliance components where a standard screw won't fit. Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to restore proper fit and reduce movement or rattling. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets or small assemblies that require a uniquely shaped or sized screw.
• Restores proper alignment and fit when a factory screw is missing or damaged.
• Helps stop rattling, vibration, or loose parts caused by worn or absent fasteners.
• Matches the OEM fastening point to ensure reliable holding strength for the intended location.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid stripping the screw head; do not force or overtighten.
• Handle sharp metal edges and panels carefully; wear gloves if needed.
• Replace all affected screws to maintain secure mounting.

This is a 1/4-20 x 3/4 inch hex washer head screw used to fasten appliance components securely. It provides a durable, low-profile fastening point to keep panels and assemblies aligned and stable. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and assemblies to prevent movement and maintain alignment
• Helps stop rattling or vibration caused by loose fasteners
• Restores proper fit where a missing or damaged screw causes gaps or instability
• Works with metal-to-metal fastening points requiring 1/4-20 thread engagement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate hex driver or socket
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts

This is a flat-head screw used to secure panels and components in compatible appliances. It provides a flush finish and reliable fastening for trim, interior panels, and small assemblies. What it does:

• Fastens trim, brackets, and small appliance components with a flat, countersunk head
• Provides a flush surface to prevent snagging and keep panels aligned
• Commonly used where a low-profile finish is needed for aesthetics and clearance

• One screw

• Use the matching Phillips or screwdriver bit; avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged; use correct screw length to avoid puncturing internal components
• Disconnect power or follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
