General Electric Wall Oven Screws, Nuts, Washers

A single 6-32 keps nut that secures panels and components by combining a hex nut with a captive lock washer for vibration-resistant fastening. Fits standard 6-32 machine screws to restore proper fastener function and fit. What it does:

• Provides a secure threaded connection for 6-32 screws where a built-in lock washer prevents loosening.
• Commonly used to fasten panels, brackets, and small components prone to vibration.
• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged nuts causing loose panels, rattling, or misaligned parts.
• Works with standard 6-32 threaded hardware in appliance assemblies.

• One keps nut (6-32).

• Unplug or disconnect power before working on the appliance.
• Hand-start the nut on the screw to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate wrench or socket.
• Do not overtighten; stop when snug and the captive washer seats against the surface.
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating screw or repair the threads before installing.

This encoder is the motor speed sensor used on many front-load and top-load washing machines to monitor drum/motor rotation and help control cycle speed and direction. Replacing a faulty encoder restores accurate speed feedback for reliable operation. What it does

• Detects motor/drum rotation and sends speed signals to the washer control board
• Helps the control board regulate spin and agitation speeds
• Commonly associated with symptoms like no spin, no agitation, erratic cycle behavior, or drive-related error codes
• Works as part of the drive/motor control system; proper alignment and secure connection are required for correct readings

• Disconnect power before accessing the washer motor or control wiring to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the encoder and wiring harness carefully; avoid pulling on wires or bending terminals
• Verify connector seating and secure mounting to ensure accurate sensor readings
• After installation, run a diagnostic or test cycle to confirm normal spin/agitation operation

This nut secures the control panel encoder shaft so the selector knob stays firmly in place and maintains reliable signal contact. A small but essential fastener for stable user control and consistent cycle selection. What it does:

• Secures the encoder/shaft to the control panel assembly to prevent wobble or loosening
• Helps keep the encoder's electrical contact aligned for accurate signal input
• Can resolve symptoms like a loose or spinning selector knob or intermittent control responses
• Designed for direct replacement of the original mounting nut for the encoder

• One nut encoder (quantity: 1)

• High-level task: remove control panel or console to access the encoder shaft; reassemble panels after replacement
• Use proper tools to avoid stripping the nut or damaging the encoder shaft
• Power off and unplug the appliance before beginning any work to avoid shock or damage
