The Regulator is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It regulates the flow of gas from the supply line to the burners, ensuring safe and efficient operation of your range. It maintains a consistent gas pressure, allowing for accurate and controlled heat distribution during cooking.

A bad pressure regulator can occur due to wear and tear, clogging, or damage to the internal components. If you notice symptoms such as uneven flame, difficulty in igniting the burners, or gas leaks, it may be time to replace the pressure regulator.

Symptoms of a bad gas pressure regulator include:

• Uneven flame
• Difficulty in igniting burners
• Gas leaks

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

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.

The Burner Head is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. This is the smaller burner head and it distributes gas evenly through the ports to produce a focused and consistent flame for temperature control during cooking.

Size: Small

Due to spills, grease buildup, corrosion, or wear and tear, the small burner head can deteriorate, clogging its ports and affecting gas distribution. When this occurs, the burner head may struggle to maintain a steady flame, impacting cooking performance.

Symptoms of a faulty Small Burner Head include:

• Uneven or low flames on the small burner
• Difficulty igniting the burner
• Clogged ports or visible rust/corrosion

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

This burner cap fits over a gas cooktop's surface burner to help direct flame for even heating and protect the burner head. It restores proper burner appearance and helps maintain efficient flame pattern for cooking. What it does:

• Covers and protects the gas burner head from spills and debris
• Shapes and stabilizes the burner flame for consistent heat distribution
• Helps prevent flame disturbance that can cause uneven cooking or clicking
• Restores a finished look to the cooktop surface

• 1 burner cap

• Turn off gas supply and ensure all surfaces are cool before handling
• Remove loose debris and set the cap on the burner head so it seats evenly
• If cap is warped or does not sit flat, inspect burner head for damage or debris
• Use only manufacturer-recommended parts and follow your appliance's service instructions

Orifice spud secures the burner orifice to the gas valve/manifold and directs fuel to the burner for proper flame performance. Replaces a damaged or corroded spud to help restore correct gas flow at the burner. What it does:

• Holds the burner orifice in place and channels gas from the valve to the burner.
• Helps maintain consistent flame size for even heating and cooking.
• Commonly used when a burner has weak, uneven, or intermittent flame performance.
• Replace if the spud is cracked, corroded, damaged, or leaking.

• Turn off the appliance's gas supply and disconnect power before beginning any repairs.
• Remove burner components per the service manual and install the spud in the same orientation as the original.
• Hand-start threads, then snug with the appropriate wrench—do not overtighten.
• After installation, check fittings for leaks with an approved leak-detection method; if you smell gas or suspect a leak, stop.

The LP Cnvrsn-Kit is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool ranges. It allows a range to use liquid propane gas instead of natural gas. The kit includes all necessary components to safely convert the range.

Symptoms of a bad conversion kit include:

• Gas leaks around pipe connections 
• Unable to light burners or ovens due to issues with gas flow
• Changes in flame color or uneven cooking performance

Causes of a bad conversion kit can include damaged or worn-out components that no longer regulate gas pressure properly or provide a secure connection. 

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

This saddle-style gas valve controls gas flow to the appliance, letting technicians create a safe, serviceable gas connection. It's used where a saddle/tap-style inlet is required for supplying natural gas to the unit. What it does:

• Provides a saddle-mounted gas shutoff and inlet for an appliance connection
• Restores gas flow when a damaged or leaking saddle valve prevents operation
• Commonly used when a service replacement or rework of the appliance gas inlet is needed
• Helps isolate the appliance gas supply for repair or maintenance

• Turn off the home gas supply and relieve downstream pressure before starting work
• Installation must follow OEM instructions and local codes; use appropriate fittings and sealants for gas service
• Check all connections for leaks with a gas-safe leak detector or soapy-water test after installation
