• Restores the appliance's finished look when the original trim is cracked, scratched, or missing
• Provides proper mounting/location for switches, buttons, or displays
• Helps keep dirt and liquids away from internal components that could cause control issues

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work.
• Remove nearby panels or bezels as needed; retain original fasteners for reassembly.
• Align tabs and screw holes, then secure with the OEM screws—do not overtighten.
• Inspect surrounding seals and components; replace damaged or brittle parts to ensure a proper fit.
