Dometic Stove Grommet Gone Missing

[Boudicca908]

I have looked for over an hour, and can’t find the missing small black rubber grommet/gasket that supports the front corner of the cast iron (will try to attach photos from phone.) I can’t believe it could have squeezed down into the stove unit — it was there when I lifted out the cast iron after cooking a messy meal today. I even went through my entire garbage bag to be sure it wasn’t stuck in a paper towel. 

Has anyone tried to find a replacement?  I’m trying to think of other pliable, soft but firm things I can use as temporary. Otherwise the cast iron will be rattling around. 
 

Any suggestions appreciated. I’m in Cody area today, so hardware is available, but tomorrow I head out boondocking and away for about 2 weeks.

Mine frequently end up in the silverware drawer under the stove. I’m missing one now that’s completely gone. If you find a replacement, please post a link.

I looked in the silverware drawer, but maybe I should empty it completely. 
 

I went to the hardware and purchased “Red Rubber Sheet Packing” (I would call it a piece of rubber, 2 pieces in the package) I am going to work on making a foot with a hole (for the stove top leg). If it’s successful, I will add it to my post.

You can have Amazon packages sent General Delivery to a nearby Post office.  Amazon has these for the Dometic stovetop for about $12:

@Snackchaser Thank you! I will check my schedule and see where I might have them delivered.

 I did try finding parts on the Dometic website, and couldn’t find this particular stovetop. 

As an aside, I learned last year that *not all Post Offices will accept General Delivery packages* — a shock to me. My Grandfather was a Postmaster.

It is hard to keep these installed. Mine have fallen out frequently. https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-50805-Cooktop-Grommets-Bumpers/dp/B0CVQR21J7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1GPGYXQHK39RF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JI2EKEuUhw1bFGY-X-lN5c3xOL1GM4CFbe06SD-dZolvDwCx2RkTcIeeC2UdqhZxTurth90kQV9_x7u5S4_WKWbwDepGINMJ-RLyZF5uaYk4ix_3g20rLvECx6utcQ5RD2PXZwP_nJaFjRXkscGmBgqKMAA8mCojOGZaLP8vdVyBt_JBCLEnDVrJU04H5kx9yXu68rC1zRXbaAb4VEPU9Mi__Xk3vSjUtawmj_97YqHOiND3U2VCvSpBVF1MjoXDnL_syxvdZiDOO4o9mX2biEc3QNLGytKveUcZD_eLRzQ.OijaUViL8XERFhcMrI6SKb9OcHK8phijnx-V96W4efQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=dometic+grommet&qid=1751555584&sprefix=dometic+grommet%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-1

Amazon can also deliver to self-service, secure  lockers at participating retail spaces. I see them at Kohls, Ross, grocery stores,  gas stations, etc. 

Check availability when ordering , near your destination. 

With rampant porch pirating, and retailers wanting to increase foot traffic, it's a win win for everyone.  

Lockers at a gas station near me are accessible 24/7. 

Look for the option when you are choosing shipping address.

LOL. We had a rental Class C motorhome that was missing all of those grommets. We didn't go 10 miles before Steph made me pull over. She couldn't stand the rattling any more. She cut up a kitchen sponge and used pieces of it as grommets. Actually lasted that way for 1200 miles.

I put a wad of paper towel in the hole! But now I have my temporary fix in place: a small piece of rubber, with a little hole punched in it for the leg.
