Customer Questions and Answers for Clip (Handle Keyhole) by Whirlpool

Handle keyhole clip that secures the handle shaft in the keyhole area to keep the handle properly attached and aligned. Replaces a broken or worn clip to reduce handle wobble and restore a solid grip. What it does:

• Holds the handle shaft or retainer in the keyhole area to keep the handle secured.
• Replaces a damaged clip that can allow the handle to move, rattle, or come loose.
• Prevents extra wear or rubbing caused by a loose handle.
• Small, hidden part—failure symptoms are usually limited to handle looseness or detachment.

• High-level installation: access the handle mounting area and snap the clip into the keyhole slot to retain the handle shaft.
• Use basic hand tools as needed and follow the appliance service manual for disassembly steps.
• Disconnect power or follow appropriate safety procedures for appliances where required.
