The fixing screw can corrode and seize so this may be what you are looking at.

It is possible the clothing may get damaged if the cover is not in place but it is not likely to damage the machine.
I too cannot get the screw out to fit the new cover, what damage can happen if I just leave it without a new cover 1 Answer

It would depend on if the cover is damaged, the screw is likely to be fitted with a thread locking paint to prevent it coming loose. Use a good fitting 'quality' screwdriver and 'shock' the screw by hitting the screwdriver handle to punch the tip tightly into the screw before trying to turn it. You may need an impact driver if this does not work.

The original bolt screw is Stock Number ES1680753 This screw can corrode in the drum and become very difficult to remove.
If you cannot remove the screw inside the drum, is there another solution or another part that can be replaced? Any advice would be greatly appreciated?

It may be necessary to drill out the old screw and use a screw extractor to remove the stub but if this does not work you may need to replace the drum.

This covers the bolt heads that fit the drum onto the bearing spider.
I too am having trouble removing the screw to replace the drum filter. What type of head is the screww reference your advice to sue a quality fitting screwdiver. Would appreciate your advise. Driving me nuts! 1 Answer

The screw can corrode making it impossible to remove. It may be possible to drill out and replace the spider onto the old drum but you may not be able to remove without damage.

Panasonic do not give this information to us but we believe this is a normal right hand thread that tightens when turned in a clockwise direction.
I have bought this part: 1 x Cover (ES1635373) for my washing machine but am unable to remove the screw in order to fit it. Can you help? 1 Answer
I think the screw has some sort of cement to stop it coming loose and perhaps make it water-tight. How can I break this seal?
