Customer Questions and Answers for Screw by Whirlpool

This factory fastener secures appliance panels, brackets, or internal components. Replacing a missing, rusted, or stripped screw restores a tight fit, reduces vibration/noise, and helps keep parts properly aligned for reliable operation.

• Fastens components to the appliance cabinet or frame
• Replaces missing, corroded, or damaged fasteners
• Helps correct loose, rattling, or misaligned panels and trim
• Supports stable, rattle-free performance when originals are worn or stripped

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water before servicing
• Match to the original location; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver that fits the screw head to prevent stripping
• Snug firmly but do not overtighten; repair damaged threads if needed
