Kenmore / Sears Washer Dryer Combo Parts

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear bulkhead to the tub, ensuring vibrations are reduced through solid mounting points. Properly installed screws dampen oscillating movement.

Causes of a bad screw include damage from water exposure like corrosion or breakage from stress concentrations if the tub bangs around during imbalanced loads. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or detached rear bulkhead allowing side-to-side play
• Excessive noise and shaking felt through the surrounding walls   
• Development of micro-cracks around screw holes over time
• Potential leak paths if holes are no longer sealed 

This Whirlpool replacement screw restores a stable suspension system. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
