This is a replacement screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It restores proper fit and prevents loose parts that cause vibration, rattling, or misalignment for a tighter, safer assembly. What it does:

• Secures covers, trim, brackets, or control panels to the appliance frame
• Keeps components aligned to prevent rattling and movement during operation
• Replaces stripped, missing, or damaged fasteners that compromise fit
• Helps restore structural stability for normal operation

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Hand-start the screw and tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can crack plastic or strip threads
• If threads are damaged, replace with correct OEM fastener.

Size: 1/4 lb.

Size: 1/4 inch.

Replacement screw that secures panels, brackets, and other components inside your appliance, keeping assemblies tight and aligned. Replace missing or stripped hardware to eliminate looseness, reduce vibration, and restore a solid, factory-fit hold.

• Fastens panels, brackets, trim, or internal components
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling/vibration
• Replaces missing, loose, rusted, or stripped hardware
• Common signs: stripped head/threads, loose panel, buzzing/rattling noises

• Disconnect power before service; shut off gas/water if applicable
• Match to the original screw; start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver size to prevent stripping
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten. If it won't hold, inspect the receiving hole/clip

This is a 8-15 x 2.00 in. hex washer head, self-locking screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It provides a durable, vibration-resistant fastener that helps keep parts aligned and stable. What it does:

• Fastens and secures panels, brackets, or assemblies to the appliance frame
• Self-locking design helps resist loosening from vibration or thermal cycling
• Hex washer head gives a larger bearing surface to prevent pull-through on thin materials
• Commonly replaced when screws are missing, stripped, or causing loose/rattling parts

• Use the correct driver/socket to avoid rounding the hex head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or damage components
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working inside the unit
• Replace any stripped or damaged mating hardware for secure fastening

This evaporator fan blade mounts on the freezer's fan motor and circulates cold air through the cabinet. Replacing a cracked, loose, or warped blade restores proper airflow for even cooling and reliable refrigerator performance.

• Circulates air across the evaporator coils to push chilled air throughout the compartments
• Helps maintain consistent temperatures and overall cooling efficiency
• Supports frost control by keeping air moving over the coils
• Typical failure signs: rattling/scraping noises, weak airflow, uneven cooling, or frost buildup

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator fan (commonly behind the rear freezer panel)
• Pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft; align and press the new blade on, matching the original orientation/position
• Hand-spin to confirm clearance; reassemble and restore power to test airflow

This hole cover seals an access/opening in the refrigerator evaporator housing to help maintain proper airflow and prevent moisture or frost from entering the cabinet. A simple replacement that restores the evaporator enclosure's intended seal. What it does:

• Seals an opening in the evaporator housing to reduce air leaks and unwanted moisture entry
• Helps prevent excessive frost or ice buildup near the evaporator area
• Supports consistent cooling by keeping the evaporator cover intact
• Can stop interior water or debris from entering the evaporator cavity

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the evaporator cover or access panel as required to reach the opening
• Press or snap the cover into place until it seats securely; no special tools typically required
• If the cover is brittle or damaged, inspect surrounding mounting surfaces and replace as needed

This machine screw secures appliance panels and components for reliable operation and alignment. A simple replacement that restores proper fit and prevents rattles or loose parts. What it does

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to restore secure attachment
• Stops squeaks, rattles, or vibration caused by loose fasteners
• Replaces worn, stripped, or missing screws to maintain safety and function
• Matches OEM threading and head style for correct fit when specified

• One machine screw

• Use the correct driver size to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; stop when snug to prevent damage to threads or parts
• Disconnect power and move the appliance to a safe, stable position before working near electrical components
• Ensure proper torque and consider thread engagement length

This screw anchor is a small plastic fastener that secures panels and trim on appliances, preventing screws from stripping or pulling out. It provides a reliable anchor point for screws where threaded material is thin or absent. What it does:

• Creates a secure mounting point for screws in sheet metal, plastic or thin panels
• Helps prevent screw looseness, stripping, and parts that shift or rattle
• Commonly used to hold trim, panels, or interior components in place
• Works with compatible screws to distribute load and stabilize attachments

• Use the correct screw size and length; anchors are made for specific screw diameters—do not force oversize screws
• Align anchor in the prepared hole before driving the screw to avoid cracking the anchor or surrounding material
• Hand-start screws until seated, then tighten gradually—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before accessing internal panels
