Range / Cooktop / Oven Cable Or Retainer

This retainer is a small mounting clip that secures interior components so they stay in place and operate quietly. Replacing a worn or broken retainer restores proper fit and prevents parts from shifting or rattling. What it does:

• Secures shelves, panels or trim to the appliance cabinet to maintain correct alignment
• Prevents interior parts from shifting, rubbing or producing vibration noise
• Helps keep seals and trim seated properly to maintain a tight fit
• Commonly replaced when clips are cracked, missing or fail to hold components

• One retainer clip as pictured

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove only the panels or shelves necessary to access the damaged retainer
• Install clip in the original orientation; retained component sits flush and is secure
• Use basic hand tools as needed

This top insulation retainer secures oven/range insulation in place behind the cooktop or control panel so insulation stays put and helps maintain safe, even operation. It's a small but important fastener for proper internal fit. What it does:

• Holds top insulation or thermal blanket securely to the appliance chassis
• Prevents insulation from shifting, sagging, or contacting hot components
• Helps reduce heat transfer and maintains proper airflow around elements
• Commonly replaced when clips are broken, missing, or insulation is loose

• Basic hand tools may be required; inspect surrounding insulation and panels for damage before reassembly
• Replace only with the correct retainer to ensure proper fit and securement
• Disconnect power or gas and allow appliance to cool before accessing internal components

This bottom insulation retainer secures oven/refrigerator insulation in place so the appliance maintains proper thermal protection and reduces heat transfer to surrounding components. It helps keep insulation positioned for reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds lower insulation panels or pads securely against the cabinet or liner
• Prevents insulation sagging or displacement that can cause noise or reduced thermal efficiency
• Helps maintain proper clearances to protect wiring and components from heat exposure
• Commonly replaced when the retainer is cracked, broken, or missing

• Service with the appliance powered off and disconnected from its power source
• Inspect surrounding insulation for damage; replace as needed to restore full protection
• Typically installs with clips or screws—retain existing fasteners unless replacement hardware is specified
