A single #8A x 1/2" screw used to fasten trim, panels, and internal components on compatible appliances. Small but essential, it restores secure mounting and stops loose parts from rattling or shifting. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance chassis
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded screws that cause rattling or loose fittings
• Provides proper thread engagement for consistent, reliable fastening
• Helps maintain alignment of components that depend on a correctly sized screw

• Disconnect power to the appliance before working on any electrical or mechanical components
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and avoid overtightening; snug is usually sufficient for sheet-metal fastening
• Keep removed fasteners in a small container to avoid loss during reassembly

A small hex nut used to secure threaded fasteners on compatible Frigidaire appliances. This OEM-design nut keeps panels, brackets, and components fastened so assemblies stay stable and aligned during operation. What it does:

• Secures bolts and studs to hold panels, brackets, or components in place
• Prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration or normal use
• Commonly used where a compact, durable threaded connection is needed
• Symptoms of a failing or missing nut: rattling panels, loose parts, or components that shift

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or moving-part hazards
• Use the correctly sized socket or wrench to engage the nut evenly
• Tighten until snug and secure; avoid overtightening which can strip threads or damage parts
• Replace any accompanying damaged fasteners or washers for a reliable repair
