This is a single hex nut used to secure components on Frigidaire appliance assemblies. It provides a reliable threaded connection to hold panels, brackets, or hardware in place and helps prevent vibration-related loosening. What it does:

• Secures mating threaded parts so assemblies stay tight during normal use
• Prevents panels, trim, or brackets from shifting or rattling
• Replaces a corroded, stripped, or missing nut that causes loose hardware
• Works where a standard hex nut is specified by the manufacturer

• Unplug or disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use the correct socket or wrench size to avoid rounding the nut
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten to manufacturer torque if specified
• Inspect mating bolt/stud for damage and replace if threads are worn

These mounting screws secure assemblies and panels so components stay aligned and stable during normal use. Durable plated steel fasteners help maintain a proper fit and keep parts from loosening over time. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to the appliance frame or assemblies
• Keeps moving parts aligned to prevent vibration and rattling
• Replaces missing or stripped mounting hardware that can cause loose doors or panels
• Used wherever the original mounting screws were removed or damaged

• Turn power off and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the screw head.
• Replace only the screws removed from the same location; match size and thread when possible.
• If a screw hole is damaged or loose, inspect the surrounding area and repair per OEM guidance.
