Using the correct OEM fastener is critical in washers, where vibration, torque, and repeated cycles demand precise threading and strength. Replacing a missing, stripped, or damaged washer screw like W11027980 often resolves issues related to loose components, abnormal vibration, rattling noises, or misalignment inside the washer cabinet.
Function & Importance of the Washer Screw
In a washing machine, screws such as W11027980 are used to secure internal components and assemblies, ensuring they remain firmly in place during high-speed agitation and spin cycles. Proper fastening is essential to maintain:
-
Structural integrity of washer components
-
Correct alignment during operation
-
Reduced vibration and noise
-
Long-term reliability of surrounding parts
Using a Genuine OEM Whirlpool screw guarantees the correct thread pitch, length, and material strength. Non-OEM or incorrect screws can loosen over time, strip mounting points, or cause premature wear to adjacent components.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
A worn, missing, or incorrect washer screw can lead to noticeable performance issues, including:
-
Rattling or knocking noises during wash or spin cycles
-
Excessive vibration or movement
-
Loose or shifting internal components
-
Repeated loosening after tightening
-
Incomplete or unstable washer operation
If your washer was previously serviced or disassembled, replacing missing or damaged fasteners with the correct OEM screw often restores proper operation and stability.
