• Holds a support rod or shaft in place to maintain alignment of moving components.
• Prevents rods from sliding out or shifting, which can cause rattling, binding, or misalignment.
• Replace if the clip is bent, cracked, corroded, or no longer grips the rod securely.
• Common symptom: loose or misaligned parts, unusual noises, or components that detach during use.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Access may require removing panels, covers, or nearby components—follow the OEM service manual.
• Remove the old clip and carefully press or snap the replacement into place; avoid over-bending the clip.
