Is it possible to restore a stripped or worn-out 'HEX HEAD with FLANGE' screw? | ||

Another option. You may have to buy a box though. I second checking out your local hardware store for them. The older the store the better.

High low screws
These are very commonly used in plastic for their good grip.
The screw is very unlikely to strip, the plastic even in the new agitator can strip very easily, it just takes one little turn too far and it will strip if the screw is not gripping into the agitator you need a larger screw, you could also get one of the rubber lockrings and put it on the shaft and that’ll hold the agitator in place fairly well.

Hey John L, okay then maybe it is stripped...or, is this normal functioning...(the agitator slides up the shaft a bit but, the screw is prevents the full release) I'm used to the agitator staying completely locked in without any release...am I wrong and this is normal? | ||
