Description

This retainer is a small mounting clip that secures an appliance component or assembly in place to prevent shifting and reduce noise or wear. It restores proper fit and alignment where a worn or broken clip allows movement. What it does:

• Holds panels, trim, or small assemblies securely to their mounting points
• Prevents rattling, shifting, or misalignment caused by a missing or damaged clip
• Helps maintain proper spacing so seals and connections stay aligned
• Works as a direct-fit replacement when the original retainer is broken or missing

What's included:

• One retainer

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, water supply before starting any repair
• Remove surrounding fasteners or trim gently to access the clip; avoid forcing plastic tabs to prevent breakage
• Replace with the exact part number and ensure the component is seated fully before reassembling
