Description

A retainer ring that secures components in place to prevent axial movement and maintain proper alignment. Replacing a worn or damaged ring helps stop rattling and shifting, restoring quieter, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds shafts, bearings or seals in position to prevent side-to-side movement
• Keeps mating parts aligned so assemblies run smoothly
• Common symptom of failure: rattling, grinding, wobbling or loosened parts
• Small, inexpensive part that prevents larger component misalignment or wear

What's included: One retainer ring. Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Access the affected assembly by removing the appropriate panel(s)
• Installation may require snap-ring/retaining-ring pliers or small hand tools
