• Fastens the door strap/hinge assembly to the door frame for stable operation
• Maintains correct door alignment to prevent sagging or uneven gaps
• Stops symptoms like loose door movement, rattling, or difficulty latching
• Designed to match the OEM shoulder and thread dimensions for proper fit

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate hand tools; avoid overtightening the bolt to prevent damage
• Inspect mating parts (strap/hinge) for wear; replace if damaged before reinstalling
