This clip is a small retainer used to secure panels, wiring, or hoses so components stay in place and operate quietly. It prevents loose parts from shifting during normal use and helps maintain appliance fit and finish. What it does:

• Holds wiring, harnesses, or small hoses in position to prevent rubbing or disconnection
• Keeps trim or access panels seated to reduce vibration and noise
• Helps maintain correct routing to avoid wear on wires and hoses
• Commonly replaced when the original clip is broken, cracked, or missing

• One clip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair
• Access the area and remove any panels or covers that block the clip location
• Press the clip into its mounting slot or snap the harness into the clip until it seats securely
• Replace any damaged surrounding fasteners or retainers; do not use damaged clips

• Restores a secure seal to reduce leaking at hose connections
• Commonly used on drain, fill, and water supply hoses where spring clamps are specified
• Helps maintain proper appliance operation by preventing hose slippage

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Use pliers to expand the clamp for removal and to seat it during installation; ensure clamp sits evenly over the hose bead
