The screw is responsible for tightly securing internal components like the oven cavity walls, heating elements, and outer door during operation. Causes of a bad screw can include wear and tear over time due to repetitive heating and cooling cycles, or damage from handling that results in bending or stripping of the threads. Symptoms of a bad screw include: Detached or damaged internal range components Issues with the door like misalignment or inability to latch securely Improper heat circulation and hot or cold spots in the oven Component malfunctions if mounting positions are compromised This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.W11666001 (AP7212752) replaces W10246216.
