Description

This small black door stop shim helps position and stabilize the appliance door for correct alignment and smoother closing. It replaces a worn or missing shim to reduce door gaps and rubbing against the cabinet or frame. What it does:

• Centers and supports the door stop so the door closes evenly and seals properly.
• Prevents door-to-cabinet rubbing, scraping, or uneven wear on hinges and seals.
• Helps eliminate minor misalignment that can cause noise or uneven gaps.
• Compatible where the OEM diagram lists a door stop shim in the hinge/stop assembly.

What's included:

• One black door stop shim

Install notes:

• High-level replacement: typically installs at the door stop or hinge area; may slide or snap into place—retain original orientation.
• Always support the door during removal/installation to avoid dropping or damaging the door or hinges.
• If the repair requires removing trim or hinge fasteners, keep fasteners organized and follow the appliance diagram.
• For any work near electrical components, unplug the appliance or switch off power at the breaker first.
