Weber genesis igniter bracket discontinued... anyone know a replacement part?

[TylerHonschopp]

Hey guys, I'm doing a rehab of a weber genesis, and need to order a new igniter button and surrounding bracket. (part numbers 92510 and 92515 respectively).

The igniter switch is easily replaceable but the bracket (92515) is discontinued from Weber. Anyone know where I can get a replacement or which parts might be compatible?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think part 87456 maybe compatible:

Though I would order it direct from Weber rather than ereplacements. I ordered an 87679, which is the same as the 87456 but black. I have not finished my Genesis 1000 resto yet, but I test fit it when I received the part and it fits the opening perfectly. Hopefully, one of the hardcore flippers with infinitely more experience than myself will chip in about compatibility.

Hopefull

The bracket 92515 is listed on back order until unknown.

Thanks J, Yes, that 92515 is discontinued from weber. I ordered from ereplacements and they said it would never be available... so not sure why they're still advertising it.

I'll take a look at that other part you mentioned. Couldn't hurt to try it as it's pretty cheap. Thanks!

I might have a few of these rocker switches lying around. I need to check tonight. Not clean but working.

One thing this thread shows is that the ready availability of parts for the Genesis 1-5, x000 grills is starting to wind down. Fortunately, for the main consumables like grates and flavorizer bars, there are many aftermarket options. But, for more specific parts, keeping an inventory of re-usable - even if not perfect - parts for these grills is going to become more and more important for restorers.

I was going to order the replacement part today, but i will wait if you can check tonight, I'd gladly buy yours.

Do you have the complete assembly? The switch isn't hard to get but the square bracket that it sits in is the part that's discontinued.

 

[Stefan H]

Yes it would be the complete assembly. I was not even aware that the switch was sold in two parts. I thought it was sold as one part. Bracket and push down switch.

The black one I bought fits. Here is a thread on black switch and knobs:

Yep, I agree Jon. That is why I won't shy away from grabbing a beat up POS on the curb or even pay a few bucks for it. If you can just use one small part off it that is unavailable elsewhere, you are already way ahead.

Can't wait to start the rehab on my gen2 trying to find such things as the small grease tray, the scale bar and I'm sure I'll find some other things missing.

Sounds great, just let me know what you got!

Thanks J, if I can't get a hold of the original one I'll go ahead and order that.

Is this the grease tray you are looking for: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B07FQ6PKPG/tvwb-20

I bought a couple of those this past year. I like the all-black look.

 

[Stefan H]

I got a few. Found 2 so far. One is in good shape with a minor scratch. And one has had the plastic corroded. You can have both for free. Just shipping cost.

 

[TylerHonschopp]

Thank you! Those are probably a little too rough for my resto, but I do appreciate it!

 

[Bruce]

Not perfect, but an hours soak in a cup of bleach will go a long ways to cleaning them up. Then a little scrubbing with a green scrubby or #0000 steel wool and they will look pretty darn good.

But, if you are going for a no compromises restore, then I would grab one of those newer rounded switches. They are interchangeable with the older ones.

 

[TylerHonschopp]

Yep, I'm gonna go with a newer one.
