Description
A small retaining nut used to fasten and secure appliance components so they stay in place during normal use. Replaces worn or missing nuts to restore proper fit and reduce movement or rattling. What it does:
- Secures mating parts to prevent loosening from vibration or operation
- Helps maintain proper alignment of panels, brackets or assemblies
- Stops components from shifting, which can cause noise or improper operation
- Simple mechanical fastener — no electrical function
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
- Use the correct size wrench or socket to snug the nut; avoid overtightening
- If the nut threads onto a stud or bolt, inspect threads for damage and replace mating hardware if worn
