This is a genuine spring clip for Bosch, Siemens, and some Neff oven, stove, and cooktop control knobs. Part numbers are 189303 and 00189303, and it replaces part numbers 014254 and 00014254. The clip is made of spring steel, 8mm wide by 13.4mm long, and slightly curved. It sits inside the shaft hole of the knob, opposite the flat side. If the clip is lost or broken, the knob will be loose and may fall off. If the spring loses tension, the knob won't fit tightly. Note that this clip doesn't fit every type of knob for these brands and may also work with other unmentioned brands. It's a cost - effective alternative to replacing the whole knob. We've been supplying appliance parts to trade and retail customers for over 25 years, so you can buy with confidence.
Using this spring clip is easy. First, locate the shaft hole on your oven or stove knob. The clip should be placed inside this hole, on the side opposite the flat part of the hole. Make sure it fits snugly. When using your oven or stove, be gentle with the knobs to avoid putting too much stress on the clip. Over time, check the clip for signs of wear or loss of tension. If you notice the knob is getting loose, it might be time to inspect the clip. To maintain the clip, keep it clean. You can use a dry cloth to wipe it down occasionally. If the clip is dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution, then dry it thoroughly before reinstalling. Remember, this clip may not fit all knobs of the mentioned brands, so double - check your knob type before installation.
