User Reviews & Q&A Summary
An OEM Rheem thermostat mounting bracket used to secure an electric water heater thermostat in place for proper temperature sensing and safe operation when the correct replacement bracket is required.
Key Features
- OEM thermostat mounting bracket service part (described by Rheem as a "Genuine Factory Authorized" replacement part)
- Product type: Bracket
- Identified by Rheem as a common service part: Thermostat Bracket (AS23557-6)
Compatibility & Applications
- Intended for Rheem electric water heater thermostat mounting applications where the bracket is specified
- Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: AS23557-6.
Installation & Operation Notes
- Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or water-heater service technician.
- Reference the water heater's service/installation manual for safe power shutoff, access to thermostat area, correct bracket placement, and proper reassembly of covers/insulation.
- Ensure the thermostat is secured firmly so it can sense tank temperature as intended.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
- This bracket relates to issues where the thermostat is not held securely against the tank surface. User feedback describes failed mounting tabs/brackets leading to poor temperature sensing and unsafe overheating symptoms (extremely hot water), with bracket replacement restoring safe operation.
- If overheating, temperature instability, or repeated safety limit trips occur, follow the water heater's troubleshooting steps and confirm the thermostat and its mounting hardware are correctly installed and making proper contact.
User Reviews & Q&A Summary
- Review themes frequently describe it as a hard-to-find small part that enables an inexpensive repair versus replacing the whole heater.
- Several reviewers report it fixes thermostat mounting problems and helps restore safe, normal temperature control, including resolving dangerously hot water symptoms.
- Fit/installation feedback is mostly positive ("works as described"); one reviewer notes the bracket barely worked on their setup and wished the arms were longer when wiring is tight.
- Some reviewers mention using it successfully on non-Rheem units, but this should not be taken as a compatibility guarantee - confirm by manufacturer specification and correct part number.

Made a dangerous Water heater safe again.
Where nobody wants to be bothered either by stocking nor taking the time to replaced by parts Supply House had what it took to fix my water heater for less than $20.00 verses $800 to replace it. The tabs on my unit was had failed and the thermostat on the lower element could not sense the temp. Replacing this cheap item made my tank safe again. It was so hot you could not touch the faucet so I had to turn it off until repair. WTG for you guys to stock things the big box stores do not!

I would buy again
The bracket just barely worked with my water heater thermostat. The arms could be a little longer to help with when the wiring is a little tight.
Fast shipping and service from Supply House.

Worked as described
This part says it was for a Rheem electric hot water heater, but I used it on a Whirlpool. It fit perfectly and functioned as intended.

A must have part
You can buy water heater parts lots of places but it is hard to find the thermostat brackets!
Supply House has them, the price was great and shipping fast! A always replace the brackets with the elements and/or thermostats!
