This small clamping nut secures a mating clamp or bracket so the connected component stays firmly in place. Replacing a worn, stripped, or missing nut restores a solid hold and helps prevent looseness or leaks around the secured area.

  • Secures a clamp or bracket to its mounting point
  • Restores proper clamping force when the original nut is stripped or missing
  • Common signs: loose clamp, rattling/vibration, clamp won't tighten, minor leaks where the clamp is used
  • Durable hardware replacement to maintain stable, reliable assemblies
What's included: 1 clamping nut Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and shut off water/gas to the appliance before service
  • Note clamp/bracket orientation before removal for correct reassembly
  • Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; then tighten with the appropriate tool
  • Do not overtighten—snug just enough to securely clamp the component

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Clamp Nut (Machine-Thread) (Part Number: OEM18029550)

1 Answer

Everett, Once you're sure the tub is centered and seated on the mounting stem, Tighten the clamping nut, by hand using the spanner wrench as tight as possible. Use a hammer and add 1/8 turn by tapping on the wrench handle very carefully(don't hit the tub, you may chip the porcelain) 3 or 4 taps usually does it.

Hello Tim, I could send a copy of the service manual to your e-mail address but since none is listed, the clamping nut is a left handed thread. Be sure not to hit the tub and crack the enamel. There is nothing between the clamp nut and the agitator.
