Tappan Screws, Nuts, Washers

This washer heater assembly heats and maintains wash water temperature to improve detergent performance and cleaning for temperature-sensitive cycles. Designed as a direct replacement part for compatible top- and front-load machines. What it does:

• Heats incoming water to reach selected cycle temperatures for better soil removal.
• Helps maintain water temperature during the wash portion of the cycle.
• Common symptom: washer runs but water stays cold or loads are not cleaned as expected.
• Common symptom: water temperature error codes or washer fails temperature-sensitive cycles.

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair.
• Handle the heating element and wiring with care; avoid damage to terminals and gasket surfaces.
• Installation may require removal of access panels and basic hand tools.
• After installation, restore power and run a short test cycle to check for leaks.

This screw fastens the heater bracket to the appliance, providing a secure mount for the heating assembly. Replacing a worn or missing screw helps keep the bracket stable and maintains proper heater positioning. What it does:

• Secures the heater bracket to the cabinet or housing to hold the heating element in place
• Prevents bracket movement that can cause rubbing or vibration noises
• Reduces risk of intermittent heating caused by a loose heater assembly
• Helps maintain correct alignment of the heater and related components

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas models) before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Handle sharp sheet-metal edges carefully and follow all appliance safety instructions

This screw is a direct-replacement fastener used to secure appliance panels and trim so components stay in place and operate quietly. It restores proper fit where mounting screws are missing or worn. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, brackets or small components to the appliance frame
• Helps prevent rattling, misalignment, or loose parts during operation
• Matches OEM thread and head style for correct fit and reliable fastening
• Useful when replacing stripped or missing mounting hardware

• Disconnect power before servicing electrical appliances
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Keep small parts away from children and pets during installation
• Replace with the exact OEM screw to ensure proper fit and safety

A single replacement mounting screw that secures the transformer to the appliance chassis. Keeps the transformer firmly attached to help maintain reliable power to the controls and reduce vibration-related noise. What it does:

• Secures the control/door transformer to the appliance chassis or bracket.
• Prevents transformer movement that can cause rattling or vibration noise.
• Helps maintain proper electrical connections by keeping the transformer stable.
• A missing or loose screw can lead to intermittent power to controls or unusual sounds.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting work.
• Use the correct screwdriver to avoid stripping the head; tighten snugly but do not overtighten.
• Keep original hardware and screw length and thread match before installing.
• If the transformer or wiring looks damaged, replace or inspect components as needed before reassembly.

This flat washer is a replacement fastener spacer that helps secure and evenly distribute load on screws or bolts in your appliance. Installing the correct washer restores proper fastening and prevents metal-on-metal wear. What it does:

• Provides an even bearing surface under a screw or nut to secure assemblies
• Helps maintain proper alignment of parts and prevents loosening from vibration
• Reduces wear and protects mating surfaces from damage
• Commonly used where a thin, flat spacer is required during reassembly

• One flat washer (quantity: 1)

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Replace only the washer(s) that match the original location and orientation
• Hand-start fasteners to avoid cross-threading; tighten to OEM torque if specified
• If the original washer shows damage or corrosion, replace it with this new part

• Prevents panel movement, vibration noise, and misalignment caused by a missing or damaged rivet
• Common replacement when the original rivet is sheared, corroded, or deformed
• Matches OEM fit and function for a secure repair in the intended location

• Intended for use with the specific rivet hole size and material
• Installation typically requires a rivet tool or appropriate driving punch and should be done with care to avoid panel damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working on the unit
• If replacing multiple fasteners or damaged surrounding material, inspect adjacent parts and replace as needed
