• Helps eliminate minor misalignment that can cause noise or uneven gaps.
• Compatible where the OEM diagram lists a door stop shim in the hinge/stop assembly.

• High-level replacement: typically installs at the door stop or hinge area; may slide or snap into place—retain original orientation.
• Always support the door during removal/installation to avoid dropping or damaging the door or hinges.
• If the repair requires removing trim or hinge fasteners, keep fasteners organized and follow the appliance diagram.
• For any work near electrical components, unplug the appliance or switch off power at the breaker first.
