This rear roller is a replacement for the rollers in a refrigerator. The rollers are not used often, but they have an important purpose. They make it easier to move the refrigerator from one area to another. If the roller had been damaged and is not working properly, it will be difficult to maneuver the refrigerator. Replacing the damaged roller with a new one before moving the refrigerator a long distance is a good idea.The rollers on the refrigerator are meant to handle a lot of pressure. However, they can still wear down and break eventually. They could also be damaged during a previous move. Before replacing the rear roller, unplug the refrigerator and remove the connection to the water supply. The replacement will require only a few tools, such as a screwdriver. It may require moving other parts of the refrigerator to get access to the rear rollers.The rear roller will work for certain models of refrigerators from Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Inglis, Maytag, Admiral, International, Amana, Jenn-Air, Crosley, and Magic Chef. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold individually.

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.
