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. 
 

This surface element supplies heat to a cooktop burner zone. Replace a failed element to restore reliable, even heating and consistent temperature control so your range responds properly when you adjust the knob.

• Converts electrical energy into radiant heat for cooking
• Cycles on/off to maintain the temperature set by the control
• Resolves: burner won't heat, heats slowly or intermittently, stuck on high/low, or visible hot spots/damage
• Helps address nuisance tripping from a shorted element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Access typically requires lifting/removing the cooktop; note wire locations and transfer one at a time
• Handle the element by the frame; avoid touching the heating surface and secure all clips/brackets as found
• Test the burner operation before final reassembly

This is the main electronic control board that manages the appliance's user interface and core cycle functions, restoring responsive controls and reliable operation when the original board fails. What it does:

• Processes user input and runs selected cycles; the board coordinates timers, relays, and electronic commands.
• Restores control when buttons, displays, or cycle selection become unresponsive.
• Can resolve erratic operation, unexpected shutdowns, or failure to start when caused by a failed control board.
• Works with the appliance's sensors and power relays to sequence functions safely.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before any service to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching contacts; use an anti-static strap if available.
• Transfer any mounting brackets, connectors, or user-interface assemblies as needed from the old board.
• After installation, restore power and verify the control responds and cycles run normally.

This electronic control board is the appliance's brain, processing inputs from the user controls and sensors to power components as designed. Replacing a failed board restores accurate cycle timing, responsive controls, and reliable operation. What it does
