A hex head lets you apply more torque with a socket or spanner than a slotted or Phillips head would allow. As our records don't say exactly where it's used, match the size and part number against your parts list or the screw you're replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere a hex head screw matters in a washing machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashing machines shake hard during spin, so their fasteners carry more load than most appliance screws. Hex head screws are typically chosen where parts need clamping tightly, such as brackets and mounts. A loose or missing screw lets parts shift, which can lead to knocking, rattling, alignment problems and wear on the parts it was holding. Stripped or corroded heads are another reason to replace a screw, since they can no longer be tightened properly. Always replace like with like, as a longer screw can foul internal parts and a shorter one may not hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 8581191252015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHexagon head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM5 thread, 16.5mm length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed with Electrolux group washing machine parts, models not on file\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\u003eM5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHexagon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the machine and close the taps before removing any panels. Use a correctly sized socket or spanner rather than pliers so the head isn't rounded off. Start the screw by hand to avoid cross threading, then tighten it firmly.
