Whirlpool 3196427 Replacement Screw

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 3196427 is a replacement screw designed to restore mechanical fastening integrity in Whirlpool appliances. Fasteners of this type secure panels, brackets, and internal components that experience routine stress over the life of the appliance. When original screws strip, corrode, or go missing during service, a direct OEM-style replacement like the 3196427 returns the assembly to factory specification. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part during panel removal, component swap, or general reassembly procedures.

This screw is suited for use in residential Whirlpool appliance repairs where the original fastener has been damaged or lost. It is appropriate for technicians performing routine maintenance or component-level repairs on Whirlpool-brand units. Always verify the part number against the appliance service manual or parts diagram before ordering to confirm correct fitment for the specific model being serviced.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fastener is typically performed by a qualified appliance technician or a knowledgeable DIYer familiar with appliance disassembly. Disconnect power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or by unplugging the unit before beginning any repair. Use the correct screwdriver bit type and size to avoid cam-out and further thread damage. Do not overtighten; hand-snug plus a quarter turn is appropriate for most appliance panel screws unless the service manual specifies otherwise.
