Good morning all, I noticed that one of the 7 freezer screws is longer than the others. I know what hole it came out of and it has two washers on it instead of one like the others. Was this a mistake from the factory? Does it matter that the one screw is longer? Any fear of it hitting anything. Did they put the second washer on it because it would not tighten up all the way? Any thoughts? Thanks
They use the longer screw to PULL the CU to the freezer plate. Once you start the replacement, you will understand why one is longer. Without that longer screw, NONE of the other screws will be able to grab the CU plate. The longer one secures the plate to allow the shorter ones to grab. Doug
2 washers was a mistake from the factory, OR the CU has been replaced before and the installer had the same hesitation you had about the longer screw and figured they needed to put an extra washer.
