• Provides a rigid mounting point for an associated component or assembly
• Maintains correct alignment and spacing within the appliance
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, or shifting during operation
• Replaces brackets that are cracked, bent, or broken
• Common signs: loose or wobbly parts, misalignment, rattling noises, or visible bracket damage

• Disconnect power; also shut off the water supply before servicing
• Wear cut-resistant gloves—bracket edges can be sharp
• Reuse original screws/clips unless replacements are specified
• Hand-start fasteners, align parts, and tighten evenly without overtightening
