SHIM

Part 02185709 covers the Shim replacement used to restore normal equipment performance. It’s used in service work when the shim is worn, damaged, or no longer performing correctly. Match part 02185709 to the removed shim and compare connectors, mounting points, and orientation before ordering. What it does: it supports normal equipment operation when replaced correctly. When this other starts to fail, you may see fitment problems, intermittent operation, and repeat callbacks. Once the fault is isolated to the shim, replacement typically resolves the complaint. Confirm the root cause first so the replacement actually solves the problem. To verify whether the shim is at fault, technicians may: inspect surrounding components for damage; verify the symptom under load. After confirmation, replacing the shim with part 02185709 restores the affected function and stabilizes operation. Ordering and installation go smoother when you verify the details first. After installing part 02185709, check operation under load and look for leaks, vibration, or returning fault symptoms. Using part 02185709 after a confirmed diagnosis helps solve the fault cleanly and improves repair confidence. If the unit has multiple revisions, confirm the exact configuration to avoid mismatched parts. If the unit has multiple revisions, confirm the exact configuration to avoid mismatched parts. Keep the removed part nearby for a quick side-by-side comparison during installation. If the unit has multiple revisions, confirm the exact configuration to avoid mismatched parts. After the first test cycle, recheck hardware and connectors to confirm everything remains secure. If the unit has multiple revisions, confirm the exact configuration to avoid mismatched parts. Keep the removed part nearby for a quick side-by-side comparison during installation. Document the symptom and the post-repair test result for future service history. Inspect related components so the new part isn’t exposed to the same stress that damaged the original.
