Kenmore / Sears Washer Dryer Combo Parts

This burner orifice meters gas to a range/cooktop burner through a calibrated opening. Replacing a clogged, damaged, or incorrect-size orifice helps restore proper flame height and clean, consistent combustion for reliable cooking performance.

• Regulates fuel flow to the burner via the precisely sized orifice opening
• Helps address weak/uneven flame, yellow or sooty flame, or delayed ignition
• Replaces stripped, blocked, or wrong-size orifice spud
• Size- and position-specific—match the stamped size and location

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Allow the cooktop to cool; remove grates, caps, and burner head to access the orifice holder
• Use the proper orifice/nut driver; do not overtighten or alter/enlarge the opening
• After reassembly, restore gas and leak-test with an approved solution; verify a stable blue flame and adjust air shutters if applicable

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear panel onto the cabinet frame, ensuring a sturdy connection between housing components.  Proper installation is critical for the washer's structural integrity.

Causes of a bad screw include corrosion from repeated water exposure or stresses from years of use. Loosening can occur from vibrations weakening the threads over time. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Rear panel detaching from frame opening gaps
• Increased noise and vibrations from a compromised seal  
• Stress on other connections from improper mounting points
• Potential leak paths from openings near hoses or tub areas

This OEM Whirlpool replacement screw helps maintain a tight panel closure. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
