Customer Questions and Answers for Burner Base by Ge

4.89 (64)
By: Ge
Part Number: OEM11981733
Manufacturer Part Number: WB16T10046

The Burner Base is an OEM part for GE ranges and cooktops, designed to securely hold the burner and distribute gas evenly for cooking. This part serves as the foundation for the gas burner, ensuring a stable and consistent flame that can be adjusted for precise cooking temperatures. 

Causes of a bad Burner Base can include corrosion, clogging from spilled foods or liquids, and general wear and tear over time. A damaged or deteriorated burner base can affect the flame's quality, leading to uneven cooking or, in some cases, posing a safety hazard.

Symptoms of a bad Burner Base include:

  • Uneven flame or poor heat distribution
  • Difficulty igniting the burner
  • A yellow or orange flame instead of blue
  • Gas leakage smell when the burner is on

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Answer

Bob, there are not any smaller burners listed for your appliance. We would not be able to recommend changing the burner head to a smaller one. For smaller pans, a smaller flame setting, from low to high, on the valve should be used. This model uses a dual flame stacked burner, so the lower flame, which is a simmer flame for temperatures of 140 degrees, will always be on. The upper flame is adjusted for cooking needs at the burner control.
