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

• Can stop erratic cycling if the original control is failing
• Commonly replaced when the refrigerator runs too cold, too warm, or won't maintain set temperature

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work to avoid electrical shock
• Replace like-for-like; match mounting orientation and wiring terminals per OEM instructions
• Handle the control and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to terminals or connectors
