Thermador Cooktop PCS486GL Parts

This is a 1/4-20 hex keps nut — a hex nut with an attached captive washer that helps secure panels, brackets, and fasteners. It provides a simple, vibration-resistant fastening solution for appliance assemblies. What it does

• Fastens components to machine frames, panels, and brackets using a 1/4-20 bolt or stud.
• Captive washer helps resist loosening from vibration and movement.
• Commonly used where a compact, pre-assembled nut-and-washer is needed for reliable retention.
• Replace when threads are stripped, washer is damaged, or parts wobble or rattle.

• One hex keps nut (1/4-20).

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working on hardware.
• Use the correct 1/4" socket or wrench to install; hold the mating bolt head as needed to tighten.
• Tighten securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage or distortion.
• Replace with the same nut type and size to maintain fit and vibration resistance.

This Tinnerman C nut is a spring-steel speed clip that secures sheet-metal panels and components using a mating screw. It provides a captive thread where a tapped hole or weld nut isn't practical, helping restore proper fit and stop rattles. What it does:

• Provides a captive, reusable threaded anchor for self-tapping or machine screws
• Secures trim, access panels and internal brackets to sheet-metal edges or panels
• Stops panel movement and vibration-related noise when the original clip is damaged or missing
• Works where a conventional nut or stud cannot be used due to limited access

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before accessing panels or fasteners
• Position the clip over the panel edge or hole, then press or slide until it snaps into place
• Align the mating screw and thread carefully to avoid cross-threading the clip
• Use hand tools or pliers for placement; do not over-torque the screw once installed

This left-side chassis case is the outer housing panel that helps protect and support internal components, restoring the appliance's structural integrity and appearance after damage or wear. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, dented, or missing left-side chassis housing to protect internal parts
• Restores proper panel alignment to prevent rubbing or gaps that can cause noise or debris entry
• Helps maintain mounting points for controls, brackets, and internal assemblies
• Matches the OEM fit and form for correct installation and operation

• Use basic hand tools; access may require removing adjacent panels or components
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts and protect painted surfaces during installation
• Verify alignment before tightening fasteners to prevent stress on clips or mounts
