Zusammenfassung:	A dryer appliance may include a cabinet, a drum, and a heater assembly. The heater assembly may include a housing, a first mounting flange, a second mounting flange, and a slide clamp. The housing may include a first housing portion and a second housing portion defining a chamber, as well as an inlet and an outlet. The first mounting flange may extend radially from the first housing portion to define a first reference plane having a mutually-orthogonal vertical direction, lateral direction, and transverse direction. The second mounting flange may extend radially from the second housing portion and slidably positioned on the first mounting flange. The second mounting flange may define a clamp aperture extending therethrough along the vertical direction. The slide clamp may extend through the clamp aperture and generally along the transverse direction from a base end fixed to the first mounting flange to a distal free end.
