Description

This is a ground-wire screw used to attach a grounding conductor to the appliance chassis, ensuring a reliable electrical ground and safer operation. It matches the common 8-32 machine screw thread used on many Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Secures the ground wire to the appliance cabinet or grounding point
• Restores or maintains a continuous equipment ground for safe operation
• Helps prevent electrical shock and fault conditions when properly installed
• Fits locations that accept an 8-32 threaded screw for grounding

What's included:

• One ground-wire screw

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before accessing electrical components or performing service
• Use the correct Phillips driver or nut-driver sized for 8-32 screws to avoid stripping
• Tighten until snug—do not over-torque; ensure the grounding conductor is under the screw head or terminal as intended
• If corrosion or damaged threads are present, clean or replace the mating hardware to ensure a secure ground
