CLIP

For technicians troubleshooting fasteners not holding, Clip is a part that’s often inspected and replaced when failure is confirmed (part 03-1562-01). Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. Replace this part when you see fasteners not holding, visible damage, cracks, corrosion, stripped fasteners, or a component that won’t stay seated. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. A correct-fit replacement helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.

Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.
