The Screw is an OEM part for LG dryers. This screw secures the front panel to the outer housing, ensuring a properly assembled unit.
Causes of a bad screw can include stripping of threads from over-tightening, loss of the screw from repeated access to internal components, or damage such as cracking from dropping or other impact.
Symptoms of a bad front panel screw include:
- Loose, detached, or missing front panel assembly
- Accessibility issues opening or closing the dryer door
- Reduced stability of the overall dryer cabinet structure
This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
