This bearing bracket assembly mounts to the appliance frame and supports a moving mechanism so it slides or pivots smoothly. Replacing a worn bracket restores proper alignment and motion, reducing friction, noise, sticking, and uneven travel.

• Provides a fixed mounting point with an integrated bearing surface for smooth movement
• Keeps the attached component aligned to prevent wobble, binding, and scraping
• Wear or damage can cause rough travel, sticking, squeaking, or sagging
• Cracks, deformation, or a loose fit are common signs the bracket needs replacement

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas, if applicable) and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Note the original bracket's location and orientation before removal
• Save and reuse the existing mounting screws/clips
• After installation, operate the mechanism to ensure smooth, unobstructed travel

This spring-style roll pin secures mating parts on a shaft or linkage. It keeps components tightly aligned so gears, levers, or hubs stay in place during operation, helping prevent looseness, slipping, and noise.

• Expands inside aligned holes to lock components together on a shaft or hub
• Helps maintain alignment and transmit torque in rotating or linkage assemblies
• Common failure signs: wobble, rattling, parts shifting out of place, or intermittent operation
• Replace if the original pin is bent, cracked, sheared, missing, or no longer holds a tight fit

• Disconnect power and work on a stable surface with the appliance cool
• Support the assembly; use a correctly sized roll-pin punch and light hammer taps to drive the old pin out
• Align holes carefully and press/tap the new pin in flush; do not enlarge the hole
• Wear eye protection and avoid striking cast or plastic parts directly

This threaded nut is a genuine fastener used to secure appliance components and restore proper attachment. It replaces worn or missing hardware to stop loose parts and help the appliance function safely. What it does:
