Causes of a bad bracket can include damage, deterioration of mounting hardware over time, or failure to install properly according to manufacturer instructions. 

Symptoms of a faulty anti-tip bracket include:

• The range appears unsecured and able to wobble or rock backward 
• Looseness between the bracket and mounting surface
• Cracks or breaks in the anti-tip bracket material

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
