A replacement bracket screw used to fasten internal brackets and panels to the appliance frame, restoring secure mounting and reducing rattling or misalignment caused by stripped, corroded, or missing fasteners. What it does

• Secures mounting brackets, panels or trim to the appliance chassis.
• Restores proper alignment and prevents movement or vibration-related noise.

This heater baffle mounts near the heating element to deflect and distribute radiant heat. It helps protect nearby surfaces and wiring while promoting more even temperatures and reliable performance inside the appliance.

• Directs and diffuses heat from the element to reduce hot spots
• Acts as a heat shield to protect the liner and adjacent components from direct radiant heat
• Helps maintain proper clearance and airflow around the element
• Damage or a missing baffle can lead to uneven temperatures, localized discoloration/scorching, or a burning smell

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow it to cool completely
• Access the heater area; remove the screws or clips securing the existing baffle and retain the hardware
• Position the new baffle in the same orientation; ensure it does not contact the heating element
• Restore power and test operation

• Secures the fan/blower housing to its mounting points to prevent movement
• Helps maintain a tight seal for proper airflow through the exhaust path
• May correct rattling, vibration, or scraping noises from the blower area
• A loose or missing lock can allow the housing to shift, causing air leaks and reduced performance

• Fan housing lock

• Disconnect electrical power; if applicable, shut off gas supply before servicing
• Access the blower/fan housing by removing the appropriate access panel(s)
• Note orientation, then release and replace the lock; ensure the housing seats fully and evenly
• Clear lint from the area and verify the blower wheel spins freely before reassembly and testing

This hinge secures the door to the cabinet and provides a smooth pivot. Replacing a bent or worn hinge restores proper alignment and reliable latching so the door opens easily and closes securely.

• Provides the pivot point for the door to open and close
• Supports door weight and keeps it aligned with the latch/strike
• Wear or damage can cause sagging, rubbing, or squeaking
• A misaligned door may not engage the door switch, preventing the cycle from starting

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas supply
• Support the door before removing mounting screws to avoid strain or damage
• Note hinge orientation; transfer any spacers/shims and reuse existing hardware
• Align the hinge, snug screws, then tighten fully and test door operation

This factory replacement screw secures panels, brackets, or trim on your appliance so parts stay tight and aligned. Swap in a new screw when one is missing or stripped to restore a solid, rattle-free fit.

• Fastens compatible panels, brackets, handles, or internal hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment and stability
• Common fix for loose or wobbly handles/trim, rattling noises, or missing hardware
• Replace if threads are stripped, head is damaged, or corrosion is present

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Use the correct screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten

This replacement screw secures appliance panels and components to restore proper fit and reduce movement. It's a simple, direct fix when small fasteners are missing, worn, or stripped and panels sit loose or rattle. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, or internal components to keep parts aligned
• Prevents rattling or vibration caused by loose fasteners
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that prevent proper panel attachment
• Restores a safe, snug fit for covers and access panels

This hex head screw spacer is a replacement threaded fastener that secures and spaces components while cutting its own thread in softer mating material for a tight fit. It's useful for repairs where the original spacer screw is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Acts as a spacer and fastener to hold panels, brackets, or assemblies at a set distance
• Thread-cutting tip forms secure threads in compatible materials for reliable engagement
• Helps stop movement or vibration of connected parts that can cause noise or wear
• Commonly used where the original hex-head spacer screw is corroded, stripped, or broken

• Use the correct screwdriver or wrench on the hex head to avoid rounding the fastener
• Start threads straight and apply steady pressure; do not force if resistance indicates misalignment
• Use appropriate torque — overtightening can strip the formed threads or damage parts
• Wear eye protection and follow appliance power/disconnect safety before servicing
