Customer Questions and Answers for Lp Bake Orifice (16.5K) by Whirlpool

This LP bake orifice meters propane to the oven's bake burner to deliver the specified BTU output. It helps ensure a stable, blue flame and consistent baking performance after LP conversion or when replacing a damaged or missing spud.

• Meters LP gas to the bake burner for the intended BTU output
• Promotes correct flame size and color for efficient, even baking
• Useful after LP conversion or when the original orifice is clogged, damaged, or missing
• Symptoms can include weak or unstable bake flame, oven not reaching temperature, or yellow/sooty flame

• For LP use only; verify the correct orifice for your model and gas type
• Disconnect power and shut off gas; allow the oven to cool completely before service
• Access the bake burner orifice holder; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading and tighten snugly—do not overtighten brass
• After reassembly, leak-check all gas connections and verify proper flame/air-shutter adjustment.
