This genuine panel screw secures appliance panels and trim, restoring a flush fit and stopping rattles or loose edges. Small but essential fastener for maintaining cabinet alignment and safe operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim pieces, or control housings to the appliance frame
• Restores secure panel fit when a screw is missing or stripped
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration noise, and shifted panels
• Keeps interior components covered to reduce dust and user contact risk

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing the appliance
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the screw head
• Hand-start the screw to align threads, then tighten snugly — avoid over-torquing
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating clip or insert to ensure a secure fit

This terminal-cover gasket seals and cushions the appliance's electrical terminal cover, helping protect wiring and connections from moisture, dust and abrasion. It restores a secure fit for the cover and helps maintain safe operation. What it does:

• Creates a sealed barrier around the terminal cover to reduce moisture and debris intrusion
• Cushions the terminal cover to prevent chafing or movement of wiring and connectors
• Helps reduce risk of arcing by keeping cover seated and terminals covered
• Useful when the existing gasket is cracked, warped, missing, or no longer forms a tight seal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing electrical components
• Remove the terminal cover and clean mating surfaces of debris and old gasket material
• Press the new gasket into place, ensuring it seats evenly around the cover perimeter
• Reinstall the terminal cover and restore power; inspect for secure fit and any exposed wiring

This replacement terminal cover protects the appliance's power terminal block and wiring from accidental contact and debris, restoring a safe enclosure for the live electrical connections. What it does:

• Protects the terminal block and wiring from accidental contact, dust and debris
• Helps prevent arcing, sparks or shorting caused by exposed terminals
• Secures the routing area around power connections for safer operation
• Useful when original cover is cracked, melted, missing or shows burn marks

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove access panel or back panel to reach the terminal block; reinstall cover so it fully encloses the terminals
• Use appropriate fasteners if required; ensure all wire terminals are tight and positioned before replacing the cover
• If wiring or the terminal block shows damage or corrosion, replace or repair those components before restoring power
