• Fits into the door/hinge assembly to provide a stable stop point
• Common symptom: door opens too far, bangs against surrounding cabinetry, or hang/align issues

• High-level replacement — remove door/hinge trim as needed per your model's instructions
• Use basic hand tools; keep fasteners separate and note orientation for reassembly
• Disconnect power if working near electrical components (applies to ovens/microwaves)

• Helps maintain reliable defrost cycle timing by keeping the timer properly aligned.
• Addresses symptoms such as a loose or missing fastener, rattling behind the control panel, or a timer that shifts when the door is opened.

• Unplug the appliance before starting work to prevent electrical shock.
• Access the control housing or timer bracket per your model's service instructions.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit; do not overtighten—stop when snug to avoid stripping.
