This is a threaded fastener used to secure panels and small assemblies on compatible appliances, restoring a tight fit and stable operation. It replaces missing or stripped screws to reduce vibration and rattling. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, and internal components where an 8-18 thread screw is specified
• Restores proper alignment to reduce rattles or vibration caused by loose parts
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that prevent parts from fastening correctly
• Works wherever an 8-18 x 7/16 screw is required by the manufacturer

• Use the correct screwdriver or nut driver to avoid cam-out and stripped heads
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent thread or component damage
• Disconnect power and remove any panels per manufacturer instructions before servicing
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating fastener

This motor plate is the stamped mounting plate that secures and positions the motor assembly in the appliance, keeping the motor aligned and stable for reliable operation. It helps reduce vibration and keeps drive components in proper relation. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting surface for the motor to prevent movement during operation
• Maintains motor alignment to ensure belts, pulleys, or blowers run true
• Helps reduce noise and vibration from a loose or misaligned motor assembly
• Can prevent rubbing or intermittent contact between the motor and cabinet

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair
• Installation typically requires hand tools; support the motor while removing and reinstalling fasteners
• Reuse original hardware only if undamaged; replace any stripped or corroded fasteners
• Verify motor alignment and clearances after installation; run a short test cycle to ensure proper operation

Mounting screw for dryer assembly. Secures panels, brackets, or internal components. Replace if stripped, missing, or damaged during repairs.

Ground

This silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) controls power flow to heating and motor circuits, restoring proper electronic regulation in appliances that use SCR-based control boards. Replaces a failed SCR to help return normal heat and motor control. What it does:

• Acts as a switch to regulate current to heating elements or motors when the control board signals it.
• Common symptom: unit fails to heat or run when the control board is commanding operation.
• Common symptom: intermittent or no power to specific circuits controlled by the SCR.
• Helps prevent erratic operation when the SCR is functioning properly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the SCR carefully; avoid bending the stud or damaging terminals.
• Mount and torque stud to specified appliance hardware; ensure good electrical contact and any required heat sink connection.

Replacement screw for securing dryer components like drum supports, panels, and housings. Needed when screws are lost, stripped, or damaged during repair.

The Knob Clip is an OEM part for GE washing machines and dryers. This small but crucial component is designed to secure the control knob to the appliance's control panel.  

Over time, knob clips can wear out or break due to frequent use or accidental damage. When this happens, the control knob may become loose, fall off easily, or fail to engage the control panel properly, making it difficult to set the appliance to the desired cycle or function.

Symptoms of a bad Knob Clip include:

• The control knob is loose or falls off the panel easily.
• Difficulty in adjusting settings due to a loose knob.
• The knob does not stay in place or slips when turned.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
