The Anti Tip Bracket is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool ranges. This bracket plays a crucial safety role in preventing the range from accidentally tipping over if excessive weight is applied to the open oven door.
The anti-tip bracket secures tightly to the floor or wall behind the range, linking it securely in place. It allows the oven door to function while ensuring the entire appliance remains stable even under heavy use.
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.
