Description

This bale strap is the replacement strap used to secure and support the appliance's bale or handle assembly, restoring proper hold and alignment for normal operation. It replaces a worn or broken strap to help the door/handle stay connected and function reliably. What it does:

• Secures the bale/handle assembly to the door or frame so the handle stays engaged during use
• Restores proper tension and positioning when the original strap is cracked, stretched, or torn
• Helps prevent the bale or handle from detaching or sagging under normal use
• Reduces rattling or loose-handle symptoms caused by a compromised strap

What's included:

• One replacement bale strap

Install notes:

• High-level replacement: remove access panel or trim as required, detach the old strap, and fasten the new strap in the same orientation
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts to prevent breakage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific safety procedures before servicing
