Description

This short machine screw secures small appliance panels, trim pieces, and components to keep assemblies stable and aligned. It's a direct-fit fastener commonly used in laundry and kitchen appliances to replace lost or damaged screws. What it does:

• Fastens panels, bezels, brackets, or small components to the main appliance cabinet or subassembly
• Restores a secure fit when loose or missing screws cause rattling or misaligned parts
• Prevents further wear or damage from unsecured panels or trim
• Works where a short-length machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

What's included: One short screw Install notes:

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack plastic parts
• Disconnect power or follow appliance safety procedures before servicing electrical appliances
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating fastener or insert rather than relying on an oversized screw
