This replacement mounting screw secures appliance components and restores proper fit where original fasteners have stripped, corroded, or been lost. It's a simple, low-cost fix to keep panels, brackets, and small assemblies held in place. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, trim, or small assemblies to the appliance frame
• Restores secure attachment when original screw is missing or damaged
• Prevents vibration-related noise from loose components
• Helps maintain safe, correct alignment of connected parts

• Use the matching driver and correct size to avoid stripping the head

• Restores proper track engagement when original basket binds, jams, or comes off the rails
• Helps stop excessive wobble, scraping, or uneven travel caused by worn parts
• Supports normal item storage and retrieval without altering fridge function

• High-level replacement: remove contents and existing basket, align onto tracks, and slide into place until it clicks/locks
• Use basic hand tools only; do not force parts—inspect tracks and rollers for damage before installing
