The Screw is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool dryers. This screw connects the back panel to the side panel, ensuring the dryer cabinet is securely assembled. It plays an integral role in maintaining the structural integrity of the dryer housing.

Symptoms of a bad screw can include loosening, corrosion, or breakage over time and use. This can compromise the bond between panels and weaken the overall dryer frame.  

Causes of a bad screw include:

• Repeated expansion and contraction from heat cycles  
• Vibrations loosening the connection point
• Stress or cracks developing at the screw head or threads

These issues can lead to:

• Gaps appearing between panels
• Components like controls detaching from the housing
• Cabinet unable to withstand pressure changes  

This OEM Whirlpool replacement screw is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
