Ditto.......

I put Locktite on the screw when I put it back in. The screw obviously just vibrated loose.

Another tip.......the grille on the front of our furnace used to be sitting on the floor every time that we towed the trailer.

I cut 2 pieces of 3/16" plastic tubing about 3/4" long (making "crush sleeves"). I put the screws through the furnace grille then slipped the plastic tubing over the screws (with a dob of silicone sealer). I screwed the grille on and haven't had an issue since.

When I unscrew the grille, the plastic crush sleeves stay on the screws and the screws stay with the grille.
