Function & Importance
In stacked washer and dryer appliances, specialised fasteners such as this screw play a critical role in:
-
Securing internal components exposed to vibration and rotational forces
-
Maintaining correct alignment between washer and dryer assemblies
-
Preventing loosening during high-speed spin and drying cycles
The nylon construction helps reduce vibration transfer and minimises wear on mating components, while the left-hand (LH) thread ensures proper torque retention in applications where standard right-hand threads may loosen over time. Using the correct OEM fastener is essential for safety, appliance stability, and long-term reliability.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
A worn, damaged, or incorrect screw in a stacked washer-dryer unit can lead to:
-
Loose or misaligned internal components
-
Increased vibration or rattling during spin or dry cycles
-
Panels or assemblies shifting out of position
-
Repeated loosening even after tightening
If your Speed Queen stacked laundry unit shows these symptoms and inspection reveals a stripped, missing, or incorrect fastener, replacing this screw can directly resolve the issue and restore proper operation.
