Whirlpool WP98017741 Surface Burner Mounting Bracket

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WP98017741 is a genuine OEM surface burner mounting bracket designed to secure burner assemblies in place on compatible Whirlpool cooking appliances. This bracket is a direct factory replacement part, meaning it meets the original dimensional and material specifications of the component it replaces. Technicians reach for OEM hardware when aftermarket fitment tolerances are unacceptable — particularly on burner mounting applications where alignment affects ignition reliability and flame pattern. Installation is typically performed by appliance repair technicians during burner assembly service or full cooktop disassembly.

This bracket is used in residential Whirlpool cooking appliances that require burner assembly support hardware. It is appropriate for service calls involving burner removal, cooktop surface replacement, or any repair where the original mounting bracket has been found cracked, deformed, or otherwise compromised. The part is sourced directly from Whirlpool as an OEM component, ensuring accurate fit without modification.
