• Common fix for an icemaker that won't fill or produces no ice
• Helps stop leaks from the valve area or water seeping into the ice mold between cycles
• Can resolve a condition where the valve hums/buzzes but no water flows

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing.
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water and relieve line pressure.
• Move tubing and wire connectors one at a time to the new valve to match positions; secure all connections.
• Restore water and power, check carefully for leaks, and run a test fill (clear any ice from the fill tube if applicable).

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.
