Samsung refrigerator screw size
M4 / M6 · 10 to 14 mm long
The screws used on Samsung refrigerator are M4 and M6 in lengths from 10 to 14 mm.
There are 2 separate fitment records for it, including genuine Samsung refrigerator tapping/machine screws explicitly specified as M4 (e.g. part (M4) and OEM hex head bolt M6 x 12 mm (M6).
Head and drive, as the sources state them: Phillips drive.
2 of the 2 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 2 sources (reliableparts.ca and appliancepartspros.com).
For reference, M4 is 4 mm across the threads at 0.7 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same.

One row per fitment record. Head, drive are shown only where the source states them; pitch is the ISO coarse pitch for the thread.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Appliance panels often use self-tapping screws into sheet metal or plastic, and machine screws into nuts or inserts — keep each type where it came from.
- Diameter: across the threads an M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M6, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- Pitch: 0.7 mm from one thread crest to the next (14.29 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The records span 10–14 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source names a Phillips drive. For comparison, standard M4 heads take PH2 (Phillips) or T20 (Torx), or a 3 mm hex key.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M4 is about 2.0-3.0 N·m into metal threads and 0.8-1.4 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M4 / M6
- Water heater elements use pipe threads (NPSM/NPT), not metric machine screws.
- Smart doorbell and lock kits bundle metric machine screws with imperial wood screws in the same bag; the metric ones are rarely labelled.
- UR cobot flange bolts are commonly sold/quoted as 'M6 bolts' but the required length depends on the tool thickness; UR's own guidance is bolt class M6-8.8 to ISO4762 without a fixed length, so length must be selected per adapter/tool stack-up, not assumed as a fixed mm value.
- Astro dovetail hardware is inconsistent: Losmandy-brand dovetail plate screws are 1/4-20 (imperial) per Losmandy/Astro-Physics documentation, while PrimaLuceLab's PLUS-standard dovetails explicitly use M6 — don't assume metric across all 'Losmandy-style' dovetail ecosystems.

Questions about Samsung refrigerator screws
- What size screw does Samsung refrigerator use?
- M4 × 10–14 mm for genuine Samsung refrigerator tapping/machine screws explicitly specified as M4 (e.g. part 6002-001122 'FH 1 M4 L14', part 6002-000520 'Screw, Phillips, Self Tapping, TH, +, M4, L12', part 6001-000595 'Screw-Machine;Ph,+,No,M4'); M6 × 12 mm for OEM hex head bolt M6 x 12 mm.
- How long are the screws in Samsung refrigerator?
- The records range from 10 to 14 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- What is the thread pitch of an M4 screw?
- 0.7 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M4 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 3.3 mm and the normal clearance hole is 4.5 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Samsung refrigerator?
- The source lists a Phillips drive. Standard M4 heads otherwise take PH2 (Phillips) or T20 (Torx), or a 3 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M4?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same. Use a true M4 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
