Description

This retaining clip secures the dishwasher's upper rack adjustable arm so the arm stays in place during loading and cycles. Replacing a broken or worn clip helps restore proper rack positioning and prevents the arm from detaching. What it does

• Holds the adjustable upper rack arm in its mounting location to prevent slipping or separation.
• Keeps the upper rack level and aligned during door operation and cycle movement.
• Common symptom: adjustable arm slips, detaches, or the upper rack won't stay level.
• Works quietly and unobtrusively once installed; prevents further wear to the arm pivot.

What's included One retaining clip. Install notes

• Clip typically snaps into place on the adjustable arm; remove or lower the upper rack for easier access.
• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing any repairs and follow the manufacturer's service instructions.
• Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp sheet-metal edges.
