This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts; follow OEM instructions for reassembly

Capacitor supplies a short burst of stored electrical energy to help the appliance motor start and run efficiently. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore reliable motor startup and reduce humming or intermittent operation. What it does

• Provides the electrical boost motors need to start and maintain proper speed.
• A failing capacitor commonly causes motors to hum, struggle to start, run slowly, or stop unexpectedly.
• Used on motors and fans that require a start/run assist; replacing a bad capacitor often resolves startup and intermittent operation issues.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor safely (use insulated tools and gloves) before touching terminals — capacitors can hold a dangerous charge.
• Photograph or label wiring and terminal locations before removal so replacements reconnect exactly the same way.

This washer tub mounting bolt secures the tub assembly to its support points. Replacing worn or missing hardware helps keep the tub aligned and stable through wash and spin, reducing vibration and noise. What it does:

• Helps maintain alignment under load and during high-speed spin
• Replace if the bolt is stripped, rounded, rusted, or missing
• Symptoms can include excessive vibration/banging, tub shifting or scraping, and rattling hardware

• 1 mounting bolt

• Disconnect power and water before servicing; wear appropriate PPE
• Support the tub to relieve stress on the mounting points before removal
