• Locks the motor to the mounting bracket to prevent shifting during operation
• Helps maintain alignment to minimize vibration and noise
• A bent, loose, or missing clamp can cause rattling, scraping, or thumping sounds
• Allow the blower wheel to rub or the belt to track poorly, affecting drum rotation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the motor area and release belt tension per your model's procedure
• Install the new clamp, ensuring the motor and rubber mounts/pads are fully seated in the bracket
• Blower clearance and belt alignment before reassembly and testing
