Hello
There are 2 types
Type 1 — Pic 1-2 Hidden type

Type 2 — Pic 3 - Visible type

The visible type 2 has a top bolt that gets loose very easily and I had to fix a stove where the bar fell into the auger chute and cause the auger miter shaft to get so jammed into the auger that the moter shaft broke off when removing. A new auger and auger motor then had to be installed.

Pic 4 - Accentra Insert
Pic 5-6 — shows a simple C lock washer under the bolt that can prevent the bolt from loosening!

Pic 7 - Hidden Latch
Pic 8 - Visible Latch

Which latch do you have?
Which one is better?
