This burner head base is the metal support that sits beneath a cooktop's surface burner, providing a stable mounting point and directing flame for even heating. It replaces damaged or corroded bases to restore safe burner operation. What it does:

• Supports the surface burner cap and burner tube to keep the burner properly aligned
• Directs gas flow from the burner tube to the burner ports for consistent flame pattern
• Helps prevent burner wobble, poor ignition, and uneven heating when functioning correctly
• Fits as the lower portion of the surface burner assembly and works with the burner cap and orifice

• Turn off the appliance and disconnect power and gas supply before service
• Remove burner cap and grate to access the burner assembly; handle components gently to avoid damaging the cap or igniter
• Verify correct alignment of the burner tube and base before reassembly to ensure proper ignition

This auxiliary surface burner head mounts over the orifice on your gas cooktop/range and distributes gas through precision ports for an even flame. Replacing a clogged or damaged head restores fast ignition and consistent heat on the small burner. What it does:

• Distributes gas through ports to produce a stable, even flame on the auxiliary burner
• Interfaces with the igniter electrode for quick, reliable lighting
• Common symptoms of a worn/clogged head: burner won't ignite or clicks without lighting; weak, uneven, or yellow flame; delayed ignition
• Helps restore proper simmer performance after corrosion, warping, or blocked ports

• 1 auxiliary burner head

• Shut off gas and disconnect power; allow the cooktop/range to cool completely
• Remove grate and burner cap, then lift off the old head; clear debris from the orifice and around the igniter (do not enlarge burner ports)
• Position the new head over the orifice and igniter; align locating features and seat fully; if your model uses screws, tighten them evenly without over-torquing
• Reinstall the cap and grate, restore gas/power, and verify even flame and normal ignition

The Burner Head is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for distributing gas to create an even flame for cooking on the stovetop. This burner head ensures efficient gas flow and optimal flame control, which are essential for consistent cooking performance.

Causes of a bad burner head can include clogging from food debris or grease, corrosion due to prolonged exposure to heat and moisture, or physical damage from impact. Such issues can obstruct gas flow and result in uneven heating or poor flame quality.

Symptoms of a bad burner head include:

• Uneven flame or poor flame control
• Difficulty igniting the burner
• Low or inconsistent heat output
• Unusual noises such as hissing or popping during operation

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

This burner head mounts on the cooktop and distributes gas evenly to produce a steady flame. Replacing a worn or damaged head restores proper flame pattern and helps your burner light quickly and cook consistently.

• Directs gas through precisely sized ports to create an even flame
• Can resolve issues like uneven flames, yellow/orange flames, or delayed ignition
• Helps when the burner won't light or only lights partially
• Replaces a corroded, clogged, or warped burner head

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift off the grate and cap; remove the old head and align the new head on the burner base
• Ensure ports are clean and seated correctly; test for proper ignition and flame

Replacement grate kit for gas cooktops that restores a stable, level cooking surface and improves cookware support. Ideal for replacing cracked, chipped or worn grates so pots and pans sit securely over the burner. What it does:

• Replaces damaged or worn cooktop grates that can cause cookware to wobble
• Restores a flat, stable surface for even cookware contact and safer cooking
• Helps eliminate rattling or shifting grates that interfere with burner use
• Allows burners and cookware to align properly for consistent heat transfer

• Turn off the cooktop and allow all parts to cool completely before handling.
• Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges; handle grates carefully.
• Ensure burners and caps are properly seated after installing the grates; test each burner for correct ignition.

The burner base is the metal burner head that supports the burner cap and directs the cooktop flame. Replacing a damaged burner base helps restore steady ignition and more even heat for everyday cooking. What it does:

• Provides the mounting surface and gas-port pattern for a surface burner and accepts the burner cap.
• Directs the flame for consistent heat across cookware.
• Common symptoms of a failing burner base: uneven or weak flame, burner won't light, visible corrosion or physical damage.
• Can cause repeated ignition attempts or poor heating when cracked, bent, or clogged.

• Turn off electrical power and the gas supply before servicing the range.
• Remove burner grates and caps to access the base; depending on model the base may lift out or be secured with fasteners.
• Inspect the igniter and surrounding components while replacing the base; reassemble and test the burner for proper ignition and flame pattern.
