This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

• Monitors internal temperature and reports to the electronic control
• Helps manage compressor and fan run time for proper cooling
• Informs defrost timing to reduce frost/ice buildup
• Failure may present as temperature swings, food too warm or freezing, long run times, or temperature-related error codes/alarms

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the sensor location; note original wire routing and placement
• Move any existing clip/insulation to the new sensor and connect securely; mount in the same position for accurate readings
• Restore power and allow time for temperatures to stabilize
