Kitchenaid Cooktop Bumper, Bushing, Grommet Parts

Rubber grommet that cushions and protects wiring, hoses or components where they pass through metal openings. Helps reduce chafing, vibration and noise while restoring a secure, flush fit when a worn grommet is replaced. What it does

• Protects wires, cables or hoses from rubbing against sharp metal edges.
• Cushions and isolates components to reduce rattles and vibration noise.
• Helps keep openings sealed from debris and limits movement of the routed part.
• Common symptoms that indicate replacement: torn, cracked or missing grommet; visible chafing on wiring; rubbing or new rattling sounds.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before accessing the repair area.
• Remove any panels or retainers that block the grommet location; note fastener placement.
• Press the grommet into the opening until seated flush; a small amount of soapy water can ease installation—avoid sharp tools that can tear the part.
• Inspect surrounding wiring/hoses for damage and replace or repair as needed.
