Galvanized Steel

A small flat washer used as a spacer or load-distribution washer in the appliance. Replaces a worn or missing washer to help maintain proper part alignment and reduce metal-on-metal wear. What it does:

• Provides a stable bearing surface between fasteners and mating parts
• Maintains correct spacing and alignment for rotating or stationary components
• Helps reduce wear, vibration, and noise where mounted
• Commonly replaced when corroded, bent, or missing

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Replace with an identical washer size and thickness to maintain fit and function
• Use appropriate hand tools; avoid overtightening fasteners
• If unclear where this washer fits, consult your model's parts diagram
