Description

This power cord strain relief secures the cord where it passes through the appliance cabinet, protecting the jacket and preventing pull on internal connections. Replacing a cracked or missing connector restores a safe, stable cord entry. What it does:

• Secures the power cord at the cabinet entry to relieve strain on internal terminals or junction connections
• Provides a protective bushing to reduce abrasion of the cord jacket against cabinet edges
• Helps maintain proper routing and support for the incoming power cord
• Typical signs it's needed: loose or wobbly cord at entry, broken/missing connector, or visible chafing on the cord jacket

What's included:

• 1 strain relief connector

Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove the access cover, release and remove the old strain relief, and route the cord through the new connector
• Seat the connector fully so it captures the cord's outer jacket—not the individual conductors
• After reassembly, verify the cord is secure and does not move at the entry point
