Description

This block restraint is a small mounting block that secures internal components and limits movement to reduce noise and wear. It restores proper alignment and keeps parts from shifting during operation. What it does:

• Anchors and stabilizes nearby components to prevent excessive movement and vibration
• Helps reduce rattling or banging noises caused by loose internal parts
• Keeps parts aligned to prevent premature wear or abrasion
• Supports safe, reliable operation by holding components in the intended position

What's included:

• One block restraint

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and water for washers/dishwashers) before beginning any repair
• Access the mounting location by removing the appropriate panel(s); basic hand tools typically required
• Remove the old block and replace with the new restraint; ensure correct orientation and secure fit
• Inspect surrounding fasteners and mounting surfaces; do not overtighten plastic parts
