Description

This is a replacement thermostat mounting screw that secures the temperature control sensor for reliable positioning and consistent temperature sensing. A simple, low-cost fix when the existing screw is missing, stripped, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures the thermostat or temperature sensor to the appliance housing or bracket
• Keeps the thermostat sensor in correct contact/position for accurate temperature readings
• Prevents the sensor from shifting, which can cause temperature fluctuations or inconsistent operation
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing mounting hardware

What's included: One thermostat mounting screw Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electric shock
• Use the correct screwdriver and match thread engagement; do not force or cross-thread the screw
• Tighten snugly but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the thermostat or housing
• After installation, restore power and verify proper temperature control and operation
