Common Symptoms
- Top panel feels loose.
- Top panel pops open during use.
- Top panel will not remain latched.
Check Before Replacing
- With power disconnected, inspect whether the top-panel clip is cracked, missing, bent, or no longer holding the panel securely.
- Check that the top panel engages the clip correctly and that the cabinet mounting area is not damaged.
Pro Tip
Confirm the clip and its cabinet mounting area are intact before ordering; a damaged mounting surface can produce the same loose-panel symptom.
