The spider is the bracket on the back of the drum that carries the shaft, and these screws hold it to the drum. They're a standard item to renew during a drum, spider or bearing repair, as old screws can be seized, corroded or stretched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLoose drum spider and knocking in a front loader\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spider takes the full force of every spin, so the screws that fix it to the back of the drum have a demanding job. Detergent residue and water attack the spider, which is often cast aluminium, and the screw threads over time, so screws can loosen, snap or corrode in place. A loose or broken spider screw lets the drum shift on its shaft, causing heavy banging on spin, scraping noises, the drum sitting off centre in the door opening and eventually damage to the tub and seals. If the spider itself is cracked, replace it along with new screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 1240220200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso listed as 1240220-20\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM8 thread, 25mm long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixes the bearing spider to the drum in front load washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting spider screws\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the washer and turn off the taps. Getting to the spider usually means splitting the tub and removing the drum, so this is a full strip down job. Clean the threads in the drum, use thread locker if the original screws had it, and tighten the new screws evenly in a cross pattern to the torque specified for your machine.
