Inside the plastic tub of a top-loaded washing machine is a stainless steel tub (the one you see when you open the washing machine). During production, the plastic tub is fully open to assembly and then ultrasonically welded (or glued). It cannot then be disassembled for maintenance. The new legislation now requires the welding or gluing to be replaced with easier access to the tub, and screws are the answer. With approximately 20 screws, the tub can be securely fixed and opened and closed for maintenance.
