This factory fastener secures appliance panels, brackets, and internal components so everything stays aligned and quiet. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps reduce vibration, rattles, and wear.
- Fastens metal or plastic parts to the cabinet/frame
- Maintains alignment of covers, ducts, housings, and brackets
- Replace if the head is stripped, threads are worn, or hardware is missing
- Symptoms can include loose or misaligned panels, rattling/vibration noises, or parts that won't stay secured
What's included: One screw. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before service.
- Match the screw to the original location and reuse existing holes/mounts.
- Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening.
- Use the correct driver bit to prevent stripping the head.
