Westinghouse, Chef, Simpson Stove Knob Metal Clip - Part # 4055560686

This is a genuine spring clip (Part No. 4055560686) for Westinghouse, Simpson, and Chef stove control knobs. It replaces Part No. 29143982 and fits many knobs on these brands' stoves and cooktops. The clip is crafted from spring steel, measuring 6mm wide by 10mm long with a slight curve. It's placed inside the shaft hole of the knob, opposite the flat side. If the clip gets lost or breaks, the knob will be loose and might fall off. When the spring loses its tension, the knob won't fit tightly. Note that this clip doesn't fit every type of knob on these brands, and it may also work with some other unmentioned brands. It's a cost - effective alternative to replacing the whole knob. We've been in the appliance parts business for over 25 years, so you can shop with confidence.

Using this spring clip is easy. First, locate the shaft hole on your stove knob. The clip goes inside the shaft hole, on the side opposite the flat part. Gently place the clip in position. Make sure it fits snugly so the knob works properly. As for maintenance, try to keep the clip clean. Wipe it with a dry cloth if it gets dirty. If you notice the knob becoming loose again, check the clip's tension. Over time, springs can lose their elasticity. If the clip loses its tension or breaks, it's time to replace it. Remember, this clip doesn't fit every type of knob on Westinghouse, Simpson, and Chef stoves, so double - check before use. Also, it might work with some other brands, but always test for a proper fit.
