Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Screws, Nuts, Washers

The Heating Element Nut is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in securing the heating element in place, ensuring it functions effectively to heat water during the wash cycle. This component ensures the stability and proper operation of the dishwasher's heating element, contributing to the machine's overall efficiency and performance.

Causes of a bad part can include physical damage during maintenance or installation, corrosion over time due to exposure to water and detergents, or general wear and tear that affects its ability to securely hold the heating element in place.

Symptoms of a bad Heating Element Nut include:

• Loose heating element, leading to inefficient heating or water not heating at all
• Water leakage from the heating element area, potentially caused by a poor seal
• Unusual noises during the dishwasher cycle

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Kickplate Mounting Screw is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. This screw secures the kickplate, or toe panel, at the bottom of the dishwasher, keeping it in place and ensuring that it effectively covers and protects the lower components of the appliance. Proper mounting of the kickplate helps maintain the dishwasher's overall appearance and prevents debris from entering the lower section.

Common causes of a bad kickplate mounting screw include frequent removal and reinstallation, corrosion, or accidental damage.

Symptoms of a bad kickplate mounting screw include:

• The kickplate being loose or falling off
• Difficulty in securing the kickplate properly
• Visible rust or wear on the screw

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
