This is a Phillips pan head machine screw commonly used to secure panels and components in appliances. It provides a reliable, low-profile head for flush fastening and easy Phillips-driver installation. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, or internal components where a pan head screw is required
• Designed for secure grip in metal or threaded inserts compatible with #10-16 threads
• Helps prevent loosening from vibration when installed to correct torque
• Often used in refrigeration and major appliance assemblies in limited quantities

• One Phillips pan head screw (#10-16 x 5/8")

• Use the correct #2 Phillips driver and steady pressure to avoid cam-out or stripping
• Do not overtighten; stop when snug to avoid damaging threads or mating parts
• Replace only with an identical thread size and head style to ensure fit
• Wear safety glasses when working around sharp sheet metal and springs

• Protects finishes and reduces metal-on-metal wear under bolt heads or nuts
• Helps reduce loosening and vibration-related noise in assemblies
• Commonly used wherever a fastener needs a stable bearing surface

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before performing any repairs
• Remove surrounding panels or components as needed to access the fastener
• Replace the washer with the same size and orientation as the original
• Replace damaged or corroded fasteners with matching hardware
