Rod retainer clip secures a support rod or shaft to keep moving parts aligned and stable during operation. Replacing a worn or broken clip prevents rattling, binding, or components falling out and helps restore proper mechanical function. What it does:

• Holds a support rod or shaft in place to maintain alignment of moving components.
• Prevents rods from sliding out or shifting, which can cause rattling, binding, or misalignment.
• Replace if the clip is bent, cracked, corroded, or no longer grips the rod securely.
• Common symptom: loose or misaligned parts, unusual noises, or components that detach during use.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Access may require removing panels, covers, or nearby components—follow the OEM service manual.
• Remove the old clip and carefully press or snap the replacement into place; avoid over-bending the clip.

A replacement lower hinge shim that helps level and align a refrigerator door for smoother opening and a better seal. Use when a door sits unevenly, rubs the cabinet, or doesn't close flush. What it does

• Provides a thin, durable spacer under the bottom hinge to correct door tilt and height
• Restores proper door alignment to improve sealing and reduce rubbing or binding
• Helps stop uneven wear on gasket edges caused by a misaligned door
• Works with the existing hinge assembly; often used during hinge replacement or adjustment

• Disconnect power and remove food from the door area before starting work
• Support the door while loosening or removing hinge fasteners to prevent it from falling
• Install the shim under the bottom hinge plate as needed, then re-torque fasteners and check door alignment

• Restores correct alignment of covers and trims after service or disassembly
• Provides a direct, hardware-level repair instead of temporary fixes

• Disconnect power (and gas, where applicable) and ensure the appliance is cool before starting.
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and turn until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Keep removed hardware for reference; replace like-for-like if threads or inserts are damaged.
• Wear eye protection and gloves when working on appliances.

• Keeps pulleys, rollers, or linkages from moving out of alignment or sliding off their shafts
• Common symptom: loose or wobbling pulley, lever, or shaft where the retaining pin is worn or broken
• Common symptom: noisy or intermittent operation caused by a pin that no longer secures moving parts
