Description

This pivot block is a small mounting support that holds a pivot or hinge shaft in place, restoring proper alignment and smooth movement for the moving assembly. It's a direct-replacement mechanical support piece. What it does:

• Supports and stabilizes a pivoting shaft or hinge so the assembly moves smoothly
• Prevents excessive play or misalignment that can cause rubbing, grinding, or uneven motion
• Helps reduce vibration and noise coming from a loose or worn pivot point
• Restores proper component positioning so doors, drums, or linkages close and operate correctly

What's included:

• One pivot block

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require removing a panel or trim; keep track of fasteners and fastener locations
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts—replace any damaged clips or fasteners
• Check adjacent parts (shaft, bushing, or bracket) for wear
