Ken for Model Number WED9400SZ2

I am trying to figure out how to install the lint duct spring clip, part number WP8066208, correctly. If it's too far out, with the entire upper third of the part (the portion with the curled end and the slight zig-zag "jog" before the first large 45 degree bend) located outside of the duct, then there is no force against opposite wall of the duct to hold it in place and it just flops around and gets moved out of position when inserting/removing the lint screen. On the other hand, if I push the part farther into the duct, so that just the curled end is positioned in the slot in the duct wall (there is just one slot), then the part easily gets pushed all the way into the duct and drops completely down into the duct. Comparing against photo of new part, it doesn't appear that any part of the spring clip has broken off (e.g., due to metal fatigue from the lint screen pushing it back and forth), and it doesn't appear that the part has been bent any more than original configuration. Hence, I'm stymied. Please help! Thanks.

Answer

Ken, There are 2 slits in the front part of the ducting that one side of the clip will go in to and hook into place. The other end will just hang in there. You may have to disassemble the unit to put it back into place. You would feed it into the top slot with the flat end and then through the second slot and the hooked end will hook around the top slot opening.
