Parts for Whirlpool LG6401XKW0: 04 - Burner Parts

Complete burner assembly with gas valve, coils and igniter. Setup for natural gas.

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

This burner tube channels the gas-air mixture to the burner and includes an adjustable air shutter to set proper combustion. Replacing a damaged assembly helps restore reliable ignition, stable flame, and consistent heating performance.

• Directs the fuel/air mixture from the gas valve to the burner port
• Integrated adjustable shutter regulates primary air for proper flame
• Helps maintain efficient heat output and reliable burner operation
• Failure can present as no or intermittent heat, burner that lights then goes out, yellow/lazy flame, or soot

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply; allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Access the burner compartment and transfer any clips/brackets from the original tube
• Note the current shutter position; after installation, adjust for a steady blue flame
• After reassembly, leak-test gas connections with a soap solution and verify burner operation

This precision-drilled burner orifice is sized for Type 4 butane applications. It meters gas to the burner so flames ignite reliably and burn cleanly when the appliance is configured for butane per the manufacturer's specifications. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner head for proper flame size and shape
• Type 4 drilling intended for butane gas configurations specified by the manufacturer
• Replaces a missing or stripped orifice during service or gas-type conversion

• 1 burner orifice (Type 4, butane)

• Shut off gas supply and power; allow the appliance to cool before service
• Access the orifice at the burner base/manifold; remove the original with the correct wrench or socket
• Start threads by hand; tighten snugly—avoid overtightening or cross-threading
• After reassembly, leak-check with soapy water and verify flame; gas conversions should be performed following OEM instructions and local codes

The Natural Gas Orifice is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part regulates the flow of natural gas to the burner, ensuring efficient and safe combustion for proper drying performance.

This radiant cooktop surface element replaces a damaged or failed heating element to restore normal stovetop heating on compatible electric ranges. It provides the heat source for one cooktop zone and matches OEM form and function. What it does:

• Heats the cooktop zone to allow normal cooking and boiling
• Replaces worn or burned-out element that won't heat or gets too cool
• Helps eliminate uneven heating or slow heat-up caused by a faulty element
• Works with the range's existing controls and wiring when properly installed

• One cooktop surface (radiant) element

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker before starting any work
• Handle glass-ceramic cooktops and radiant elements carefully to avoid cracking
• Verify correct element seating and secure electrical connections before restoring power

The Igniter Kit and Bracket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is a kit that includes the igniter and bracket assembly, which work together to ignite the gas or electric heating element. 

Causes of a bad igniter and bracket can include failure due to prolonged or repeated use, damage from impact or mishandling, or failure of integrated electronic components. 

Symptoms of a bad igniter and bracket include: 

• The dryer not heating or heating intermittently
• Repeated trips of the thermal fuse 
• Smell of gas indicating improper ignition
• Visible damage or cracks in the igniter or bracket

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

This pipe plug seals an unused or service opening in a household appliance's plumbing to stop leaks and prevent debris entry. It restores a watertight closure so the appliance can operate safely and without water loss. What it does:

• Plugs open pipe or hose fittings to prevent water leaks
• Helps maintain proper water flow by sealing unused ports
• Keeps debris and contaminants out of the plumbing system
• Can stop intermittent drips originating from service openings

• One pipe plug

• Turn off water supply and power to the appliance before starting work
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten only to OEM torque or finger-tight plus a quarter-turn if unspecified
• If the original used sealant or gasket, replace with the same type per OEM instructions

• Restores proper alignment for doors, control panels, or trim pieces
• Helps stop intermittent noise caused by loose hardware
• Use when original screw is missing, stripped, or corroded

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and hand-tighten; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads
• Keep small parts away from children and pets; magnetic tray helps prevent loss
• If multiple screws are corroded or hardware threads are damaged, inspect mating parts and replace as needed

This bracket is used to attach and is included in the igniter kit. Save money by ordering the igniter kit 279311.

This LP gas conversion orifice adjusts gas flow for compatible gas ranges and cooktops when converting from natural gas to liquid propane, helping the appliance run safely and correctly after conversion. What it does:

• Replaces the burner orifice to reduce gas flow for LP fuel pressure and correct flame size
• Helps restore consistent, stable burner flames after an authorized LP conversion
• Addresses symptoms like unusually large or yellow flames, poor ignition, or unstable burner performance after conversion
• Works with the appliance's existing valve and burner components as part of a proper conversion

• Follow the appliance manufacturer's LP conversion instructions and parts list exactly
• Turn off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing
• Use correct torque and fittings; do not force or cross-thread the orifice
• Always perform an approved gas leak test and check burner flames after installation
