Description

This U-bend retainer secures the drain U-bend or trap tubing in place to prevent leaks and keep plumbing routed safely under the appliance. It's a small but important clip that helps maintain proper drain alignment. What it does:

• Holds the U-shaped drain/trap tubing securely to the appliance drain outlet
• Helps prevent the drain hose from slipping free and causing leaks
• Keeps the drain line routed to avoid kinks or contact with moving parts
• Commonly replaced when the original clip is broken, cracked, or missing

What's included:

• One U-bend retainer clip

Install notes:

• Basic hand tools may be required; disconnect power and water supply before servicing
• Remove any obstructing panels to access the drain outlet area
• Press the clip into position over the U-bend until it snaps or seats securely
