Description

This tapping screw secures sheet-metal panels and small appliance components, restoring proper fit and stopping rattles or loose trim. It's a direct-replacement fastener used where a self-tapping screw is required. What it does:

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, brackets, and trim pieces
• Creates its own threads in thin metal for a secure hold
• Stops loose panels, rattling, or parts that shift during operation
• Matches OEM fit and thread style for reliable replacement

What's included:

• Tapping screw as shown

Install notes:

• Use the correct driver size to avoid stripping the head
• Start screw straight and apply steady pressure to form threads cleanly
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip sheet metal
• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing panels or internal parts
