The anti-tip bracket is a floor-mounted safety device required by UL standards on all freestanding ranges. It anchors to the floor behind the range and engages the rear leveling leg, preventing the range from tipping forward if weight is applied to an open oven door — such as a child climbing on the door or a heavy roasting pan placed on it. A tipped range can cause severe burns, scalding from spilled liquids, or crush injuries. Part WS01A00672 is the genuine OEM GE anti-tip bracket for compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore freestanding ranges, replacing WB2M2802. If your bracket is missing, damaged, or was never installed, replace it before using the range.

⚙️ Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Basic — 15 to 20 minutes
- Pull the range away from the wall to access the floor behind the rear leveling legs
- Position the bracket on the floor so the slot aligns with the rear right leveling leg (or as specified in your range’s installation guide)
- Secure the bracket to the floor using the provided hardware — screw into a floor joist or use appropriate anchors for your floor type
- Slide the range back into position so the rear leveling leg drops into the bracket slot — verify the leg is seated in the slot, not resting on top of it
- Test by gently pulling the front of the range forward — it should not tip. If it tips, the leveling leg is not engaged in the bracket.
- Adjust the rear leveling leg height if needed so it seats properly in the bracket slot

The most common installation error is pushing the range back into position without confirming the rear leveling leg dropped into the bracket slot. The range can appear fully pushed back while the leg is resting on top of or beside the bracket — providing zero tip protection. After installation, open the oven door fully and apply firm downward pressure. The range should not move. If it rocks forward at all, pull the range out and recheck the leg-to-bracket engagement. Also verify the bracket itself is screwed into the floor — a bracket that is just sitting loose on the floor provides no protection.
