This factory rivet is used to permanently fasten appliance panels and hardware. Replacing a worn or missing rivet restores a tight, rattle-free fit and keeps panels, brackets, or trim aligned as designed. What it does:

  • Permanently secures sheet-metal or plastic parts where a rivet was originally installed
  • Helps maintain alignment and rigidity; reduces vibration and rattling
  • Replace if the original rivet is missing, loose, corroded, or drilled out during service
  • Common symptoms include loose panel/trim pieces, buzzing noises, or visible gaps
What's included:
  • 1 rivet
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
  • Remove the old rivet by carefully drilling through the rivet head; support nearby parts to prevent damage
  • Install the new rivet with a suitable rivet tool; it seats fully and securely
  • Wear eye protection when drilling or riveting; rivets are single-use and should not be reused

1 Answer

Richard, There are two parts to the rivet, The rounded top with two(2) tabs and the center shaft in the opening. You insert the rivet with the two tabbed portion into the opening, then press / push the shaft down into the rivet, as the shaft slides down, it forces the two tabs to spread out and lock the rivet and the hook in place. Press the shaft in, until it is even with the rounded top.

Hello Lew! Yes, you will determine the side needed as you are looking at the refrigerator door. No, both hooks are not the same. For the right side use part number WP67043-6. For the left side use part number 67043-5. Thanks!
