Cooktop Bracket & Flange

This hold-down bracket secures a designated component inside your appliance, keeping it firmly anchored during use. Replace a bent, broken, or missing bracket to stop movement and rattling and restore proper alignment and a stable, factory fit. What it does:

• Anchors the specified part to the appliance frame/cabinet to prevent shifting
• Reduces vibration and rattling noises during operation
• Helps maintain correct alignment and spacing for reliable performance
• Replace if the bracket is bent, cracked, corroded, or missing

• 1 hold-down bracket

• Disconnect electrical power; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
• Note the original orientation and screw locations before removal (a quick photo helps)
• Reuse existing mounting hardware unless your model specifies new fasteners
• Do not overtighten; verify the secured component is aligned and stable before restoring power

The Cooktop Bracket Kit is an OEM part for Bosch cooktops. This bracket and hardware kit serves to securely fasten the cooktop surface to the underlying countertop.

Causes of a bad bracket can include wear and deformation from heavy cooktop use over time, or damage to fastening screws from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a bad bracket and fastening kit include:

• The cooktop surface becoming loose, wobbly, or unstable during use
• Gaps appearing between the cooktop and countertop edges
• Reduced heat containment and risk of burns from loose surfaces

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.

This replacement bracket secures the griddle igniter/electrode so the igniter stays positioned for reliable spark near the griddle burner. Restores correct igniter alignment to help the griddle light properly. What it does:

• Holds the igniter electrode in the correct position next to the griddle burner for consistent ignition.
• Keeps the igniter stable to prevent misfires, intermittent lighting, or weak sparks.
• Prevents igniter movement or contact with other components that can cause damage.
• Helps restore normal griddle lighting when the original bracket is broken, bent, or missing.

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before beginning any service.
• Handle the igniter electrode and ceramic insulator carefully; avoid touching the ceramic surface with bare hands.
• Secure mounting hardware; do not overtighten screws.
• After installation, reconnect power/gas and test for proper ignition; check for gas leaks using a soap solution if gas connections were disturbed.

This idle bracket supports the dryer/tumble assembly's idler pulley so the drive belt stays aligned and tensioned for reliable drum rotation. Replaces a worn or broken bracket to reduce belt slippage and related noise. What it does:

• Secures the idler pulley in the correct position for proper belt tension and tracking
• Prevents belt rubbing, slipping, or premature wear that can cause noisy operation
• Restores stable drum rotation when a cracked or damaged bracket is the cause of belt issues
• Helps maintain correct alignment of the drive belt and pulley system

• Disconnect power (unplug or turn off breaker) before beginning any repair
• Support the drum and/or belt while removing and reinstalling the bracket to avoid misalignment
• Use common hand tools; retain original fasteners unless replacements are specified
• After installation, test the dryer through a short cycle to ensure smooth, quiet operation
