The Grate Foot is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It attaches to the bottom of the cooktop grates, providing stability and preventing the grates from scratching the cooktop surface. 

Common causes of a faulty grate foot include constant exposure to high temperatures, wear from frequent removal and cleaning of the grates, or physical damage from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a bad grate foot include:

• The grates wobbling or not sitting level on the cooktop
• Scratches or damage appearing on the cooktop surface
• The grates making noise or shifting during use
• Visible wear, cracking, or missing pieces on the grate foot

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Burner Head is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for distributing gas to create an even flame for cooking on the stovetop. This burner head ensures efficient gas flow and optimal flame control, which are essential for consistent cooking performance.

Causes of a bad burner head can include clogging from food debris or grease, corrosion due to prolonged exposure to heat and moisture, or physical damage from impact. Such issues can obstruct gas flow and result in uneven heating or poor flame quality.

Symptoms of a bad burner head include:

• Uneven flame or poor flame control
• Difficulty igniting the burner
• Low or inconsistent heat output
• Unusual noises such as hissing or popping during operation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This grommet fits into a chassis or cooktop panel opening to cushion and seal where a shaft or component passes through. Replacing a worn grommet helps keep spills and debris out and restores a snug, quiet fit.

• Seals the opening to help prevent moisture and debris from entering the appliance chassis
• Centers and cushions the passing component to reduce vibration and rattling
• Helps maintain proper alignment and smooth operation of the control or related assembly
• Typical signs of wear: cracked or missing grommet, visible gap around the opening, loose/wobbly fit, evidence of spill intrusion

• Disconnect electrical power and, if applicable, shut off gas supply before servicing
• Remove knobs/bezels or access panels as needed to reach the grommet
• Lift out the old grommet and clean the opening of residue
• Press the new grommet fully into place without pinching; reassemble and test operation

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
