General Electric Range / Cooktop / Oven Cable Or Retainer

This strain relief secures the appliance power cord where it enters the cabinet, preventing pull, chafing, and wire stress for safer, more reliable power connections. It's a simple, low-cost part that helps protect wiring from damage. What it does:

• Clamps and holds the power cord to reduce strain on internal wiring and terminal connections
• Helps prevent cord pull-out, fraying, and exposed conductors that can cause intermittent power or arcing
• Keeps the cord routed and positioned to reduce vibration wear over time
• Commonly replaced when cords are loose, damaged at the entry point, or when the clamp is broken

• One strain relief clamp

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any work
• Remove the access panel or back panel as needed to reach the cord entry; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Position the cord, seat the strain relief in the cabinet opening, and secure per original mounting (screws or snap-fit depending on model)
• After installation, restore power and verify steady operation; stop and recheck if you see sparking, burning smell, or intermittent power

Keep the appliance power cord secured and positioned to prevent strain or accidental disconnection. This retainer fastens the cord to the cabinet so the cord stays in place during normal use and service. What it does:

• Secures the power cord to the appliance cabinet or terminal block to prevent tugging or pull stress.
• Helps maintain a stable electrical connection by limiting cord movement.
• Reduces risk of the cord rubbing against sharp edges or being pinched.
• Common symptom: loose or wiggling power cord at rear of appliance.

• Disconnect power before accessing the cord or terminal area to avoid shock hazard.
• Typically installs with screws or snaps into a bracket near the cord entry; check the cabinet opening for correct orientation.
• Inspect surrounding wiring and strain relief; replace any damaged insulation or hardware when present.
