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.

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This refrigerator ice maker assembly automatically freezes water and harvests cubes so you have a steady supply of ice in the freezer. Replacing a failed assembly restores consistent, hands-off ice production.

• Freezes water in the mold and ejects cubes on a controlled cycle
• Signals the water inlet valve to refill after each harvest
• Pauses production when the bin is full via the unit's shutoff mechanism
• Common signs of failure: no ice production, won't eject or refill, intermittent cycling, or very small/hollow cubes

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Take photos of wiring and mounting to match connections and positions during reassembly
• Reuse any model-specific brackets or covers from the original unit if required
• After installation, restore power/water and allow several hours for the first batches
