Product Description
The ELECTROLUX 240383408 is a truss head quad-drive screw used in Electrolux refrigerator assemblies. This fastener features a 10-16 thread designation, indicating a number 10 screw with 16 threads per inch, suited for sheet metal or light structural applications within appliance cabinets and panels. It is typically installed by appliance technicians or experienced DIYers performing panel removal, component replacement, or cabinet reassembly on Electrolux refrigeration units. The truss head profile provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load across thin sheet metal without pulling through.
This screw is used in residential refrigerator service and repair scenarios where original fasteners are stripped, lost, or damaged during disassembly. It is appropriate for any repair procedure that involves removing and reinstalling access panels, brackets, or internal mounting components in Electrolux refrigerator models that use this fastener specification. Sourcing the correct OEM part number ensures proper thread engagement and head fitment in factory-drilled holes.
Key Features
- Truss head profile provides wide bearing surface for thin sheet metal panels

Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by appliance service technicians. Disconnect the refrigerator from its power source before beginning any disassembly or panel removal. Use a quad-drive or square-drive bit matched to the screw recess to avoid stripping the head. Do not overtighten into sheet metal; seat the fastener until the head is flush with the panel surface.
