The Switch Mounting Screw is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw securely mounts the cycle selector switch within the control console assembly. Proper fastening ensures dependable operation of control functions.  

Causes of a bad mounting screw can stem from stress cracks developing over multiple years of operation. Vibrations accumulate, slowly loosening connections housed in a wet environment.

Symptoms of a bad mounting screw include:

• Loose or rattling switch within the console face  
• Difficulty selecting cycles as buttons wobble out of place
• Water intrusion hastening corrosion of electrical terminals
• Potential shock hazards if live connections are exposed

This Whirlpool replacement screw restores a tight mounting point. It is compatible with brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
