Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Burner (Bake) by Whirlpool

This oven burner supplies the bake flame in a gas oven, restoring consistent heat for baking and roasting. Replace a damaged or corroded burner to help recover even cooking and reliable ignition. What it does:

• Produces the primary bake flame for the oven cavity so food cooks evenly.
• Replaces a warped, cracked, or heavily corroded burner that can cause weak or uneven heating.
• Can resolve symptoms such as the oven not reaching temperature, uneven baking, or a burner that won't light reliably.
• Works with the oven's ignition and gas flow system; proper flame appearance is important for safe operation.

• Turn off gas supply and electrical power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Remove oven racks and access panels to reach the burner; retain all fasteners.
• Inspect and clean the burner ports and ignition area during replacement; avoid bending or damaging the burner ports.
