The Burner Base is an OEM part for GE ranges and cooktops, designed to securely hold the burner and distribute gas evenly for cooking. This part serves as the foundation for the gas burner, ensuring a stable and consistent flame that can be adjusted for precise cooking temperatures.
Causes of a bad Burner Base can include corrosion, clogging from spilled foods or liquids, and general wear and tear over time. A damaged or deteriorated burner base can affect the flame's quality, leading to uneven cooking or, in some cases, posing a safety hazard.
Symptoms of a bad Burner Base include:
- Uneven flame or poor heat distribution
- Difficulty igniting the burner
- A yellow or orange flame instead of blue
- Gas leakage smell when the burner is on
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
