Customer Questions and Answers for Screw 8-32 X 1/4 (Hxp Head) by Ge

A replacement 8-32 x 1/4 screw with an HXP-style head that secures panels, brackets and small appliance assemblies. Replacing stripped or missing screws restores proper fit and helps reduce rattling and loose parts. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, grounding tabs and small components in appliance assemblies.
• Restores secure mounting when original screws are missing or damaged.
• Helps stop vibration-related noise and misaligned panels.
• Useful when reassembling parts after service or component replacement.

• Always disconnect power before working on electrical appliances.
• Use the correct driver for the HXP head to avoid stripping; do not force the screw.
• Tighten to hold parts snug—do not overtighten to avoid thread or part damage.
• Replace like-for-like; match thread size and head style to the original fastener.
