Learn how to diagnose and fix loose or missing griddle hardware with the M6x38 screw, a standard replacement for select Blackstone models.

Quick Answer

The M6x38 screw is a reliable replacement for loose or missing griddle hardware on compatible Blackstone models. Use it to restore secure fastening and prevent further damage.

Why the M6x38 Screw?

This screw is designed as a standard replacement part for specific models, ensuring a proper fit without modification. Its M6 thread and 38mm length match the original hardware used in many Blackstone griddles.

Compatibility Check

Before purchasing, verify that your griddle model is listed as compatible: 1517, 1554, 1565, 1605, 1825, or 1853. Using an incompatible screw may strip threads or fail to secure the part.

Diagnosis: Loose or Missing Griddle Hardware

  • Symptom: A griddle component (e.g., side shelf, handle, or burner cover) wobbles, detaches, or fails to stay tightened.
  • Likely Cause: The original screw has stripped threads, is missing, or was overtightened and sheared off.
  • Corrective Action: Remove the damaged screw with pliers or a screw extractor. Insert the M6x38 screw and hand-tighten until snug, then give a quarter turn with a tool. Do not overtighten. If the threads in the receiving hole are stripped, stop and use a thread repair kit or consult a technician before forcing a larger screw.
