This screw anchor is a small plastic fastener that secures panels and trim on appliances, preventing screws from stripping or pulling out. It provides a reliable anchor point for screws where threaded material is thin or absent. What it does:

• Creates a secure mounting point for screws in sheet metal, plastic or thin panels
• Helps prevent screw looseness, stripping, and parts that shift or rattle
• Commonly used to hold trim, panels, or interior components in place
• Works with compatible screws to distribute load and stabilize attachments

• Use the correct screw size and length; anchors are made for specific screw diameters—do not force oversize screws
• Align anchor in the prepared hole before driving the screw to avoid cracking the anchor or surrounding material
• Hand-start screws until seated, then tighten gradually—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before accessing internal panels

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This screw plays a small but important structural role, securely fastening the refrigerator door hinges in place.

Symptoms of a bad hinge screw include:

• Loose or sagging door that does not close or seal properly
• Increased vibration or noise from the hinge area
• Difficulty opening/closing the door smoothly

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
