Customer Questions and Answers for Burner Cap Kit (Black), 4-Pack by Whirlpool

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
