The front panel clip is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire washing machines. It is a small but crucial component that helps secure and hold the front panel or control panel in place on the washer. These clips are typically located at the top or sides of the front panel, snapping or clipping into place to provide a secure and stable fit.
Causes of a bad front panel clip can include physical damage from impact or mishandling, wear and tear over time, or exposure to moisture or excessive heat. A broken or missing clip can cause the front panel to become loose or detached, potentially affecting the proper functioning of the washer's controls or creating safety hazards.
Symptoms of a bad front panel clip include:
- The front panel feeling loose or unstable
- The panel not sitting flush against the washer body
- Difficulty in properly aligning or attaching the front panel
- Visible damage or missing clips
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore washer models.
