Washing Machine/Dryer Console Clip
This product is sold separately and serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component compatible with a range of Whirlpool dryers. It is also suitable for brands like Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, along with appliances crafted for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The primary role of the console clip is to firmly attach the control console assembly to the dryer's top panel, thereby ensuring both stability and proper alignment of controls, preventing any detachment during operation.
With regular use, particularly from frequent opening and closing of the dryer door, the clip can experience deterioration, leading to wear or fatigue. Additionally, excessive force or impact may result in the clip bending or breaking.
Signs indicating that the clip might be failing include:
- A loose console assembly not securely fastened.
- Misalignment or looseness of controls.
- An unstable console that appears to be detaching.
- Missing clip leaving the mounting point unprotected.
This replacement clip is also compatible with models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
