Greetings Podders!
Can anyone suggest a way to fix the condition shown below? I removed our stovetop to clean under it and broke the bracket off that holds the screw. Headed to the hardware store now, but I don't expect they will have anything like this there. Any ideas that don't involve a welder or metalworking capabilities? Thanks! Lisa

You might be able to use a metal bracket like the ones they sell for shelving. If that doesn't work, it looks like replacing the 'bowl' here shouldn't be too difficult if they'll sell you that part. |

I just had the same thing happen. It is a Suburban cooktop and I found the part #online. Cheap but shipping ruins that idea. Went to a local RV parts dept. and gave them the part #, there was an updated number but it was the same piece. I ordered 2 for $1.79 each. Here is an online place with the part #. http://www.rvpartsnation.com/product/11071/fastener-angle-bracket - http://www.rvpartsnation.com/product/11071/fastener-angle-bracket Any local RV place should be able to order it.

I found a small angle bracket at the hardware store and attached it to the 'bowl' with a sheet metal screw. Drilled a hole in the horizontal part to accept the hold down screw.
