You might be able to find some online. I would also try some local stores for a replacement part. You might not get exact, but you could probably get close if you bring one of the top brackets with you.

You do not require brackets , DW can be secured thru the holes on side of washer as well as threw the inside top

The thermal fuse kit is accessible from the top of the dryer. Disconnect power and using a putty knife, release the two spring clips holding the top cover to the cabinet. Insert the putty knife in the seam between the top cover and the cabinet at about 4 inches from the sides. Lift the top cover when the first spring clip is released while releasing the second clip then lift the top cover to the rear of the dryer.




The high-limit thermostat is located on top of the heater housing at the rear of the dyer. Remove the screw that secures the high-limit thermostat bracket and replace the thermostat.



The thermal fuse is located on the right hand side of the heater housing and is mounted on a bracket. There's a 1/4" hex-head screw that holds both the heating element and thermal fuse brackets. Remove the screw and the thermal fuse bracket can be lifted off.




The thermal fuse bracket has two locating tabs, one at the bottom and the other is half-way up. Lift the bracket to clear the tabs then remove it and replace the thermal fuse. Reinstall the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat brackets in reverse order of the removal steps. Press down on the top cover against the cabinet to reengage the spring clips.

There is now a universal dishwasher bracket for just this problem called E-Z DISHWASHER BRACKET. It is available through Braxton-Bragg or ask for it at a local granite fabricator. It is very simple to use.

you need to replace the glass top itself???that might be an expensive proposition.but heres the how to. theres 2 or3 screws along the front underside of main top. this will release the top enabling you to tip back and look underneath.not a hard job, just gonna take some patients. assuming you have the new top. its gonna be a matter of taking from one and installing on other. you will not have to undo any of the wires leading to the burner elements. instead undo the screws that are holding the elements up to the top . should be 2 brackets running lent gh of unit . undo the brackets and lay the elements down on the insulation . after removing both swap out glass and reinstall new . there will be multiple ***** holes on new glass for supporting brackets. look closely at old one for proper placement

You have to take the top off the washer a put it aside. You no longer need the top. Then you put the two angle brackets on the front top of the washer. this is where the front of the dryer will attach. The back of the washer either has or needs the brackets put on the top (been a long time since I did this). Remove the leveling legs from the dryer. Then lift the dryer and slide it on top of the washer with the back touching the top of the washer and the front about 2 inches higher than the washer top. The back of the dryer slides into the back brackets which are on the top back of the washer. Then lower the front of the dryer and the two "L" brackets on the front top of the washer slide through cracks into the dryer. Pop off the two plastic plugs on the dryer bottom front and place a screw in each one to hold the unit in place. Replace the plastic caps and you are done.
