WR01A00686 - Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Kickplate Screw

The WR01A00686 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Kickplate Screw is an original GE replacement fastener designed for compatible GE refrigerators. This screw secures the refrigerator kickplate, also known as the toe grille, to the bottom of the appliance. AMRE Supply identifies WR01A00686 as a GE Genuine OEM part and specifies it as an 8-18 thread screw measuring 5/8 inch long.

If your refrigerator kickplate is loose, missing a retaining screw, or will not stay securely attached, WR01A00686 provides the manufacturer-specified replacement for compatible applications. Appliance Kingdom ships appliance parts across Canada and supports homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance technicians looking for genuine GE replacement parts.

Function & Importance of the Kickplate Screw

The kickplate screw secures the refrigerator's lower toe grille or kickplate to the appliance cabinet. Keeping the kickplate properly fastened helps maintain the intended fit and appearance of the lower front section of the refrigerator.

WR01A00686 is specified as an 8-18 thread x 5/8-inch-long screw. Using the correct OEM fastener matters because appliance screws can differ in thread type, length, head style, and fit.

A missing or damaged screw can allow the kickplate to become loose or fall away from the refrigerator.

Common Signs the Kickplate Screw Needs Replacement

A WR01A00686 replacement may be appropriate when:

• The refrigerator kickplate will not stay securely attached.

• A kickplate screw is missing.

• The original screw is damaged or stripped.

• The toe grille or lower kickplate is loose.

• The existing fastener no longer properly secures the kickplate.

AMRE Supply specifically lists “kickplate won't stay on” as a possible repair symptom associated with this part.

Will Replacing This Screw Fix My Refrigerator?

If the problem is a missing, damaged, or incorrect kickplate fastener, replacing it with the correct WR01A00686 screw can restore the kickplate's proper attachment.

However, if the kickplate itself is cracked, damaged, or has a broken mounting point, replacing only the screw may not resolve the issue.
