• Supports the handle mounting stud/screw for a secure fit
• Helps reduce handle wobble, gaps, or scuffing against the door
• Replace if the handle won't tighten evenly or the original thimble is cracked, worn, or missing

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Support the handle to protect the door finish during removal
• Loosen the handle's set screw(s) or mounting bolt, remove the old thimble, and clean the area
• Seat the new thimble fully, reinstall hardware, and tighten evenly—do not overtighten
