• Holds wiring harnesses or small terminals securely to reduce chafing and intermittent connections
• Keeps connectors and small components from shifting during operation or transport
• Helps prevent wire strain that can cause shorts or loss of function
• Commonly replaced when clip is bent, broken, or missing and wiring becomes loose

• One spring clip

• Turn off power to the appliance at the breaker before inspecting or replacing
• Use needle-nose pliers to compress and seat the clip; avoid forcing or over-bending
• Verify the clip secures the intended wire or terminal without pinching insulation
• If wiring shows damage, replace the wiring/harness per OEM guidance rather than relying on the clip alone
