I have an X189FDS. The bolt attaching the stair bracket rusted and broke. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Please see attached pictures. Thanks!

Oh that won't be fun to fix. First thing to do is spray a good penetrating oil on that, like PB Blaster or similar. I'd suggest doing that repeatedly over a couple of days to let the oil soak in good. Then you have to drill a hole in the broken stud and finally get a screw extractor bit available at most hardware stores to extract the broken end of the bolt.
