Samsung washing machine frame screw size
M4 · 14 mm long
Our records put Samsung washing machine frame on M4 screws, 14 mm long.
Where it is used: truss head tapping screw M4 x L14, zinc plated.
Head and drive, as the source states them: truss head.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from fixpart.ie.
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.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Unplug the appliance and discharge any capacitors before removing covers.
- Diameter: across the threads an M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- 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: for truss head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- The record states 14 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M4 heads take PH2 for Phillips and T20 for Torx, and a 3 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- 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
- Water heater elements use pipe threads (NPSM/NPT), not metric machine screws.
- Bopla SHR-Z boss screws and Hammond 1591XXF screws look metric but are self-tapping/imperial — don't substitute a machine screw into those bosses.
