The surface/top burner valve controls gas flow to a cooktop/range burner, letting you turn the flame on and adjust heat. Replacing a worn valve restores smooth knob feel and consistent ignition and flame control on your gas appliance.

• Regulates gas supply to the surface burner from Off to simmer to full flame
• A stiff or seized stem can make the knob hard to turn or stuck
• Failure can prevent the burner from lighting or cause erratic flame adjustment
• A stripped/broken shaft may let the knob spin without changing flame

• Disconnect power, shut off the gas supply, and allow the appliance to cool
• Remove the knob and access panel to reach the valve; label tubing and any wires for correct reassembly
• Transfer any orifice fittings and mounting hardware from the old valve as required; align the stem for proper knob orientation
• Use gas-rated sealant on pipe-threaded joints only and leak-test all connections with a non-corrosive solution before restoring service.

Left-side gas valve that controls gas flow to the burner assembly, restoring reliable ignition and stable flame control when a faulty valve causes burners to fail to light, sputter, or produce an inconsistent flame. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the left burner assembly for proper ignition and steady flame control.
• Replaces a stuck, damaged, or failed valve often associated with burners that won't light, have weak flames, or flame fluctuation.
• Acts as the control point between the appliance gas supply and the burner; proper operation is required for safe ignition.
• Use the appliance's parts diagram to determine left/right valve location and fit before ordering.

• Turn off the appliance power and shut off the gas supply before starting any service.
• Only install on appliances designed for this left-side valve; follow the service diagram and manufacturer instructions for proper fitment.
• Inspect all fittings and connections for leaks after installation; test using approved leak-detection methods per local codes.

This double valve switch assembly controls two valve circuits to manage water flow and valve operation in compatible appliances. It replaces a failed switch to restore proper valve control and appliance function. What it does:

• Acts as the electrical switching assembly for two valve solenoids or circuits
• Allows the appliance control board to open and close water valves as needed
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no fill, continuous fill, or intermittent valve operation
• Helps stop erratic or unresponsive valve behavior when the original switch fails

• One double valve switch assembly

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Verify power is off with a meter and document wire locations or take photos before disconnecting
• Handle connectors carefully; ensure proper seating and secure mounting during reassembly

This single valve switch is the electrical control that activates a single solenoid valve, restoring proper valve operation so the appliance can open or close the water/flow circuit as designed. It replaces a failed or non-responsive valve control switch. What it does

• Sends the electrical signal to a single solenoid valve so the valve opens or closes when commanded.
• Commonly used when a valve fails to energize, causing no water flow or intermittent operation.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as the valve not activating, intermittent dispensing, or an appliance that won't fill.
• Works as the user-commanded switch interface between control electronics and the valve assembly.

• One (1) single valve switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock.
• Turn off the water supply if the repair requires disconnecting water lines.
• Verify connector orientation and secure electrical connections; do not force connectors.

This is the replacement cooktop, also called the main top, for sealed-burner gas units. It forms the cooking surface around the burners to contain spills, restore appearance, and keep grates and burner parts seated securely for safe, even heating.

• Forms the main cooking surface and supports burner heads/caps and grates
• Sealed-burner design helps keep spills on top, protecting components below
• Maintains proper burner alignment and flame pattern
• Common symptoms: cracks, chips, dents, rust, or warping; wobbly grates or gaps around burner openings

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Remove grates, burner caps, and the screws securing burner heads; lift off the old top
• Transfer/reconnect igniters and wiring as equipped; avoid pinching wires during reassembly
• Restore gas and power, verify ignition on all burners, and check for leaks

Rear venturi directs the gas/air flow from the valve to the burner for proper ignition and heating. Replacing a damaged or clogged venturi helps restore consistent flame and improve dryer heating performance. What it does:

• Channels and shapes the air/gas mixture to the burner assembly for reliable ignition.
• Helps maintain consistent burner flame and steady heating during operation.
• Commonly replaced when the dryer has weak or no flame, reduced heat, or intermittent heating.
• Fits the rear mounting location and mates to the burner/gas valve interface.

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the dryer before beginning work; only service when the appliance is cool.
• Remove the dryer rear panel or access cover to reach the burner housing and venturi; handle internal components carefully.
• Inspect gaskets and seal surfaces; replace any damaged seals and check gas connections for leaks after reassembly.

The front venturi is the front section of the burner venturi tube that mixes air with incoming gas for proper burner combustion. Replacing a damaged or clogged venturi helps restore reliable ignition and a steady flame. What it does:

• Directs and mixes air with gas before the burner to support stable, even flames.
• A worn, cracked, bent, or clogged venturi can cause weak flames, uneven heat, or difficulty lighting.
• Sits at the front portion of the burner venturi assembly and aligns gas flow into the burner head.
• Works with the rest of the burner components to maintain proper combustion characteristics.

• Turn off gas supply and unplug appliance before servicing; follow all local codes for gas work.
• Remove burner grates and burner head to access the venturi; handle carefully to avoid deforming the tube.
• Inspect surrounding burner parts and clean any debris before reassembly.
• After reinstalling, check for correct ignition and a steady flame; perform a leak check if gas lines were disturbed.

The Burner Cap is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas cooktops and ranges. This cap sits atop the burner head and is responsible for evenly distributing the flame for consistent heating. Made from durable materials, it ensures efficient cooking performance while protecting the burner head from debris and spills.

Causes of a bad Burner Cap can include physical damage such as cracks or chips due to accidental drops, exposure to excessive heat over time, or buildup of food and grease that affects its functionality. A poorly fitting cap can also result in uneven flame distribution or inefficient cooking.

Symptoms of a bad Burner Cap include:

• Uneven flame or difficulty in lighting the burner
• Visible damage such as warping, cracks, or chips
• Food or grease buildup that is hard to clean

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