Description

This factory hardware nut secures threaded components inside your appliance, keeping parts tight and properly aligned during operation. Replace a stripped, corroded, or missing nut to restore a solid connection and prevent looseness or noise.

• Threads onto a matching bolt or stud to clamp parts together securely
• Helps maintain clamping force under vibration when properly tightened
• Replace if threads are worn, rounded, cracked, or rusted
• Symptoms can include loose or rattling parts, misalignment, or a fastener that won't tighten; in sealed water-path locations, leaks may occur

What's included: 1 nut

• Disconnect power; shut off water and/or gas before service
• Hand-start the nut to avoid cross-threading; finish tightening with the proper tool
• Do not overtighten; follow model-specific torque guidance if available
• Inspect the mating bolt/stud and any seals or washers during reassembly; replace if damaged
