Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Screws, Nuts, Washers

This is an OEM replacement nut used to secure appliance components and restore a tight, wobble-free fit. Replacing a worn or missing nut helps stop rattling and prevents parts from shifting or coming loose. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or hardware to keep parts firmly in place
• Stops looseness and rattling caused by a missing or stripped nut
• Restores proper alignment of fastened components
• Helps prevent further wear or damage from moving parts

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before servicing the appliance.
• Use the correct size socket or wrench for a snug fit; start by hand-threading the nut to avoid cross-threading.
• Tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening to prevent striping or damage to mating threads.
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating fastener or stud rather than forcing the nut.

This washer is a small hardware spacer that helps secure fasteners and maintain correct clearances in appliance assemblies. It prevents bolts and screws from loosening and keeps parts aligned for reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides a stable bearing surface between fasteners and mating parts to reduce wear
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of panels, brackets, and components
• Reduces vibration-related loosening that can cause rattling or misalignment
• Common repair for loose or wobbly assemblies and noisy panels

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• If the washer is part of a water or gas connection, turn off the supply first
• Use the correct fastener size and torque to avoid deformation or slippage
• Replace damaged or corroded washers with the exact OEM part for best fit

• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Replace damaged screws with the same size and thread to ensure a secure fit
• Disconnect power or follow appliance safety steps when accessing internal components
