I received a new rear bearing kit yesterday from ApplianceParts. Are the three ball flange holes for the screws supplied in the kit supposed to have threads? Are the screws supplied self tapping? There are holes in the flange but no threads. I am having a hard time installing the screws with a Phillips screw driver. Can you advise me what to do? Thanks! :)

I think they should, but call APP and ask them about whether or not you received a defective part (We are volunteers and not connected with the company or the parts operations)

What they’re telling me is: that the three holes in the metal plate do not come threaded. The three new mounting screws provided in the kit are self tapping screws and will cut the needed threads into the new plate. I now have the bearing installed.Thank you for the advise, it was helpful.:)

Well good, I am glad they were able to answer that and you got it back together.
The problem people like me have is that we do not notice those things, we just go ahead and screw the thing in, if there are threads, fine, if not, it turns out to be self tapping like you have. Since this is your part I did want to make sure you got it right.
Thanks for the update, good luck with your machine going forward.
