Description

This thermostat bracket holds the oven or range thermostat securely in place, ensuring accurate temperature sensing and stable oven performance. Replaces a worn or broken bracket to restore proper thermostat positioning. What it does:

• Secures the thermostat assembly to the oven/range interior so the thermostat bulb or probe senses temperature correctly
• Prevents the thermostat from shifting or contacting heating elements
• Commonly replaced when the bracket is cracked, bent, or missing and causes temperature or control issues
• Helps reduce temperature inconsistencies caused by a loose or damaged mounting

What's included: One thermostat bracket. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock or injury
• Handle the thermostat and sensor bulb carefully; avoid kinks or direct pressure on sensing elements
• Basic hand tools are typically required; verify part alignment before tightening fasteners
