Whirlpool Corporation, a key player in the appliance industry, produces goods under its own name and other notable labels such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it supplies products for brands like Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The 6-32 x .340 flat washer lid screw, meeting OEM standards, is a genuine part directly sourced from the manufacturer. This component is engineered specifically for fastening washing machine lids, crafted from sturdy silver metal to anchor the hinge securely to the lid, thus ensuring reliable operation. Incorrectly affixed lid hinges can result in the lid not remaining open as intended. It is advisable to replace these screws when installing a new lid, as they can corrode or loosen from prolonged use.
Customers should be aware that while the color of the screw may differ from the image provided, this does not compromise its functionality. For safety reasons, ensure the washing machine is disconnected from power before any part replacement. Please note that this screw is sold individually; verify the quantity required prior to purchase. Installation requires a Phillips head screwdriver.
