The Bracket-Door Stop is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool appliances. This zinc-finished bracket is designed to prevent the appliance door from opening beyond its intended range, protecting both the door and surrounding components from potential damage. It ensures the door stays secure and functions smoothly during regular use.

Symptoms of a bad Bracket-Door Stop include:

• The door overextending when opened
• Difficulty in maintaining the door's position
• Visible bending, cracking, or damage to the bracket

Causes of a failing Bracket-Door Stop can include repeated stress from excessive force when opening the door, normal wear over time, or accidental impacts. A damaged bracket can compromise the door's alignment and overall functionality.

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