Description

This push-in retaining spring secures a heating element or similar insert in place, helping keep the element aligned for reliable operation. Replaces a worn or missing retainer to restore proper part seating and reduce movement. What it does:

• Holds a push-in-type heating element or insert firmly in its mounting hole
• Prevents the element from working loose or vibrating during operation
• Can reduce intermittent heating issues caused by a loose element connection
• Simple mechanical clip with no electrical function

What's included: One push-in retaining spring Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access may require removing panels or the element assembly—refer to your model's service instructions
• Use pliers or appropriate tool to compress and seat the spring; protect surrounding components
• If the element or mounting hole is damaged, replace damaged parts rather than relying on a spring
