WP489464 Whirlpool Replacement Screw

This replacement screw is designed for various household appliances, including ice machines, freezers, refrigerators, microwaves, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, stoves, ovens, hoods, and air conditioners. It is compatible with brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea, and this screw fits those as well.

The screw serves multiple purposes, such as securing body panels and attaching electronics to control boards. Over time, screws can become damaged due to corrosion, impact, or improper installation and removal. Corrosion, often leading to rust, is the most common issue, depending on the appliance and its maintenance. Screws can also become stripped or rounded from improper handling.

When a screw is damaged, lost, or corroded, replacement is necessary. Typically, a Phillips head screwdriver or a ratchet with the appropriate socket size is sufficient for removal. In cases where the screw is severely damaged, a tap set may be needed to extract it.

This is a genuine OEM replacement screw, made from high-quality, durable metal, and sold individually. It is suitable for over 150 appliances, including washers, dryers, and air conditioners, from brands like Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador.
