Microwave Screws, Nuts, Washers

The Common Nut is an OEM part for LG ranges. It secures the fan blade to the motor shaft. This nut maintains the fan's stability and preventing it from becoming dislodged during use.

Causes of a bad common nut can include loosening over time due to vibration, improper installation, or damage from impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad common nut include:

• Excessive noise or vibration from the fan assembly
• The fan blade becoming loose or detached, causing poor air circulation
• Potential risk of the fan blade becoming a projectile if completely detached

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.a

This hardware washer helps distribute fastener load and maintain proper spacing in your LG appliance. Replacing a missing or worn washer restores secure mounting and alignment, reducing vibration and rattling from loose assemblies.

• Distributes the load of a screw or bolt and protects mating surfaces to maintain alignment
• Helps keep components secure and at the correct spacing
• A damaged or missing washer can lead to loosening, vibration, or rattling during operation
• Ensures correct hardware stack-up during reassembly after service

• Disconnect power and shut off water or gas before servicing
• Note the order and orientation of any washers/spacers; take a reference photo
• Use the correct driver or wrench and tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• Replace companion hardware if corroded, stripped, or damaged

A flat washer used with the appliance's fastening hardware to distribute load and reduce wear. Helps maintain secure connections and prevents damage to mating surfaces for reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides an even bearing surface for bolts or screws to prevent pull-through
• Reduces friction and wear between fasteners and housing parts
• Helps keep fasteners tight and resists loosening from vibration
• Commonly used where a smooth, protective spacer is needed

• Verify correct location and orientation before reassembly
• Use manufacturer-recommended fasteners and torque specifications
• Power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components

A sheet-metal tapping screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-threading fastener is needed. Replaces stripped or missing screws to restore secure fits and reduce rattling or loose trim. What it does

• Threads into thin metal or plastic mounting points to secure panels, brackets, and trim
• Commonly used where pre-formed threads are not available
• Helps stop vibrating or loose panels that cause noise or alignment issues
• Designed to grab and form threads as it's driven in for a tight hold

• Tapping screw

• Use the correct screwdriver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage
• Start straight and drive slowly until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip or crack mounting material
• Disconnect power and remove nearby wiring or components as needed for safe access
• Wear eye protection when working with small fasteners and metal panels

This packing is a replacement door gasket that seals the appliance cabinet to keep cold in and warm air out, helping maintain proper cooling and reduce frost buildup. It restores a tight seal around the door for consistent performance. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or torn door seal to stop warm air leaks and reduce frost and moisture inside the compartment
• Helps the appliance maintain set temperatures and can improve cooling consistency
• Can reduce unnecessary compressor run time caused by poor sealing
• Addresses symptoms like visible gaps, cold loss at the door, or excessive frost buildup

• Disconnect power to the appliance or unplug before starting work
• Clean the door frame and contact surfaces before installing the new gasket to ensure a good seal
• Align and seat the gasket evenly around the door; some gaskets require gentle stretching or warming for proper fit
• Inspect door hinges and closing action; adjust if the door does not close evenly after gasket replacement

This tapping screw secures appliance panels and components where a self-tapping fastener is required, restoring proper fit and reducing rattles or loose parts. Designed for exact-fit replacement when the original screw is missing or damaged. What it does

• Creates its own mating threads to fasten panels, brackets, or trim without a nut
• Restores secure attachment of loose or vibrating parts
• Helps eliminate squeaks, rattles, and misalignment caused by missing or stripped screws
• Matches OEM fit and form when replacing the original fastener

• Disconnect power and empty the appliance area before starting work
• Use the correct-size screwdriver or driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage
• Start screws straight and avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the mounting hole
• Wear eye protection and follow the appliance manufacturer's service instructions
