As you probably realize, it's always a good idea to replace screws, if only to retard inadvertent disassembly. But you're right to try to rule out operational problems from not replacing the screws. Probably you could obtain the information only from the manufacturer--see the contact information here: https://www.contacthelp.com/frigidaire/customer-service--or if necessary communicate with corporate: see the contact information here: http://www.corporateofficeowl.com/frigidaire/Corporate%20Office.
