These burner caps fit over gas range burner heads to help direct flame and provide a finished cooktop appearance. The brown "wetstone" finish restores the look and function of damaged or missing caps on compatible ranges. What it does:

• Covers the burner head to help shape and stabilize the flame for even cooking
• Protects the burner head from spills, grease and debris that can impair ignition
• Restores correct cap-to-burner contact when worn or chipped caps cause uneven heating
• Helps reduce spotting and discoloration on the cooktop surface around burners

• Turn off the appliance and allow burners to fully cool before installing
• Remove grates and old caps; set new caps onto burner heads, ensuring proper seating
• Do not force caps; if fit is tight or unstable, verify correct cap position and burner head condition

These black burner caps sit atop the burner heads on your gas range or cooktop to shape the flame and shield the burner. Replacing worn or missing caps helps restore even flames, dependable ignition, and a clean finished look. What it does:

• Shapes and distributes the flame for consistent cooking performance
• Helps protect the burner head from spills and debris
• Provides proper spacing for reliable ignition when seated correctly
• Common signs of failure: chips/warping, uneven or yellow flames, or a burner that's hard to light

• Turn all burners off and allow the surface to cool completely
• Clean and dry the burner head and cap; residue or moisture can hinder ignition
• Center the cap so it sits flush and level; misalignment can cause clicking or weak flame
• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply

This burner head base is the metal support that sits beneath a cooktop's surface burner, providing a stable mounting point and directing flame for even heating. It replaces damaged or corroded bases to restore safe burner operation. What it does:

• Supports the surface burner cap and burner tube to keep the burner properly aligned
• Directs gas flow from the burner tube to the burner ports for consistent flame pattern
• Helps prevent burner wobble, poor ignition, and uneven heating when functioning correctly
• Fits as the lower portion of the surface burner assembly and works with the burner cap and orifice

• Turn off the appliance and disconnect power and gas supply before service
• Remove burner cap and grate to access the burner assembly; handle components gently to avoid damaging the cap or igniter
• Verify correct alignment of the burner tube and base before reassembly to ensure proper ignition

This gas surface burner head sits on the burner base and channels gas through precision ports for quick ignition and an even flame. Replacing a worn or clogged head helps restore reliable lighting and consistent heat.

• Distributes gas from the burner base to the flame ports for even flame patterns
• Interfaces with the spark electrode to enable ignition
• Helps maintain proper flame shape and heat output
• Common symptoms include burner won't light, weak/uneven or yellow flames, delayed ignition, or continuous clicking

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Remove grate and burner cap; lift the old burner head off the base
• Clean the burner base and electrode area; align the new head with locator pins and the electrode opening, then seat fully
• Reinstall cap and grate; restore gas/power and test ignition and flame

This auxiliary surface burner head mounts over the orifice on your gas cooktop/range and distributes gas through precision ports for an even flame. Replacing a clogged or damaged head restores fast ignition and consistent heat on the small burner. What it does:

• Distributes gas through ports to produce a stable, even flame on the auxiliary burner
• Interfaces with the igniter electrode for quick, reliable lighting
• Common symptoms of a worn/clogged head: burner won't ignite or clicks without lighting; weak, uneven, or yellow flame; delayed ignition
• Helps restore proper simmer performance after corrosion, warping, or blocked ports

• 1 auxiliary burner head

• Shut off gas and disconnect power; allow the cooktop/range to cool completely
• Remove grate and burner cap, then lift off the old head; clear debris from the orifice and around the igniter (do not enlarge burner ports)
• Position the new head over the orifice and igniter; align locating features and seat fully; if your model uses screws, tighten them evenly without over-torquing
• Reinstall the cap and grate, restore gas/power, and verify even flame and normal ignition

This burner head mounts on the cooktop and distributes gas evenly to produce a steady flame. Replacing a worn or damaged head restores proper flame pattern and helps your burner light quickly and cook consistently.

• Directs gas through precisely sized ports to create an even flame
• Can resolve issues like uneven flames, yellow/orange flames, or delayed ignition
• Helps when the burner won't light or only lights partially
• Replaces a corroded, clogged, or warped burner head

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift off the grate and cap; remove the old head and align the new head on the burner base
• Ensure ports are clean and seated correctly; test for proper ignition and flame

The Torx Screw is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool brand appliances. The Torx Screw is responsible for providing secure and stable connections between different components of washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, and more. These screws are characterized by their star-shaped drive design, which offers better torque transfer and reduces the risk of stripping or cam-out. Sold individually. 7-18 x 3/4"

Causes of a bad Torx screw can include stripping of the screw head, rust or corrosion from prolonged exposure to moisture, or damage from over-tightening or cross-threading. A compromised screw can lead to loose or insecure parts, which can affect the performance and safety of the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad Torx screw include:

• The screw head being stripped and difficult to turn
• Rust or corrosion visible on the screw
• The screw not holding components securely
• Loose or rattling parts within the appliance

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The burner base is the metal burner head that supports the burner cap and directs the cooktop flame. Replacing a damaged burner base helps restore steady ignition and more even heat for everyday cooking. What it does:

• Provides the mounting surface and gas-port pattern for a surface burner and accepts the burner cap.
• Directs the flame for consistent heat across cookware.
• Common symptoms of a failing burner base: uneven or weak flame, burner won't light, visible corrosion or physical damage.
• Can cause repeated ignition attempts or poor heating when cracked, bent, or clogged.

• Turn off electrical power and the gas supply before servicing the range.
• Remove burner grates and caps to access the base; depending on model the base may lift out or be secured with fasteners.
• Inspect the igniter and surrounding components while replacing the base; reassemble and test the burner for proper ignition and flame pattern.
