This spring washer is a small retaining fastener that helps keep assemblies tight and under tension, preventing components from loosening during normal appliance operation. What it does:

• Helps maintain tension on shafts, bolts or studs to reduce loosening from vibration
• Secures mating parts so assemblies stay aligned and function smoothly
• Can reduce rattling or intermittent contact caused by loose fittings
• Used where a split, curved washer is needed to provide spring force

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Use appropriate pliers or a socket set to remove and reinstall surrounding fasteners
• Verify the washer seats correctly and does not interfere with moving parts
• Do not stretch, file, or otherwise alter the washer; replace with the exact part for proper fit
