Fef357bfwa Parts

This small spring clip secures the oven bake/hidden element to the range housing, keeping the heating element properly positioned for consistent operation and preventing movement or rattling during use. What it does:

• Holds the oven element in place at the mounting bracket so the element stays aligned
• Prevents the element from shifting, vibrating, or making contact with other components
• Helps maintain a stable electrical and mechanical connection at the element mounting point
• Commonly replaced when clip is broken, bent, or missing and the element won't stay seated

• One spring mounting clip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Access usually requires removing the oven bottom, back panel, or element mounting bracket—support the element while removing/installing clips.
• Use gloves and eye protection; clips are spring-loaded and may release suddenly.
• Replace only the clips that are broken or missing; fit before restoring power.
