The LP Conversion Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire gas ranges. This kit allows for the conversion of the range's fuel type from natural gas to LP (liquefied petroleum) gas. It ensures the safe and efficient operation of the gas range when using LP gas as the fuel source.

Causes of a bad LP conversion kit can include incorrect installation, missing components, or damaged parts.

Symptoms of an improper fuel conversion or a bad LP conversion kit may include:

• Uneven flame
• Improper heating
• Unusual gas smells

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Surface Burner Cap is an OEM part for Frigidaire gas ranges. It sits atop the surface burner and helps to distribute the gas flame evenly for consistent cooking performance. The cap also protects the burner head from spills and debris.

You should replace this surface burner cap if it becomes damaged or worn out. Signs of damage include chipping, cracking, or discoloration due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or cleaning agents.

Symptoms of a bad surface burner cap include:

• Uneven or unstable flame
• Difficulty in igniting the burner
• Visible cracks or chips on the cap
• Food cooking unevenly

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Burner Cap is an OEM part for Frigidaire cooktops and ranges. It is designed to cover the burner head, ensuring an even distribution of the flame for efficient cooking. The burner cap also protects the burner head from spills and debris, which can affect performance.

You should replace the burner cap if it becomes damaged or worn out. Causes of a bad burner cap can include exposure to high heat, buildup of food residue, or accidental impacts. A compromised burner cap can lead to uneven flames, inefficient cooking, or difficulty in lighting the burner.

Symptoms of a bad burner cap include:

• Uneven or yellow flames
• Difficulty in igniting the burner
• The burner cap being cracked, chipped, or discolored
• Poor cooking performance or hotspots on cookware

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Range Cap is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. It seals the upper combustion chamber to contain heat from the oven burners. A tight-fitting cap is critical for efficient, safe oven performance.  This cap measures 3 inches in diameter.

Causes of a bad cap can include cracks, warping, or collapsed seals from prolonged exposure to high oven temperatures. Accidental damage during past maintenance is also possible.

Symptoms of a bad cap include:

• Escaping heat from the oven chamber, reducing efficiency
• Flames or sparks visible around the cap during baking
• Loose, wobbly, or missing cap allowing grease and debris in the combustion area

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Igniter Orifice Assembly is an OEM component for Frigidaire gas ranges. It is an integrated assembly housing both the electric ignition wire and adjustable gas orifice or restrictor needed for controlled gas flow.

Symptoms of a bad ignitor orifice assembly include:

• Burners failing to light or requiring multiple igniter clicks
• Flames that are irregularly shaped, oversized, or yellow-tipped
• Burners ignite but flame size is not adjustable across settings
• Gas smells were detected without an obvious leak at the connections

Over time, normal use can cause an orifice to deteriorate or crack while ambient gases degrade igniter wires.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Burner Orifice is an OEM part for Frigidaire cooktops and ranges. It is a critical component that controls the flow of gas to the burner, ensuring a consistent and stable flame for cooking. The orifice regulates the amount of gas released to the burner, which in turn affects the size and intensity of the flame.

Causes of a bad burner orifice can include food debris or grease build-up, corrosion from prolonged exposure to gas, or physical damage from cleaning or handling.

Symptoms of a bad burner orifice include:

• Uneven or irregular flame
• Burner not igniting
• Weak or yellow flame
• Gas smell near the burner

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Valve is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire ranges. Located along the gas line leading to the oven burners, it regulates gas flow and controls burner ignitions. Proper valve function is critical for safe and efficient cooking performance.

Causes of a bad valve can include wear from prolonged use, corrosion or clogging of small internal passages over many years. Damage may also occur if exposed to extreme heat or sudden temperature changes.

Symptoms include: 

• Inconsistent or intermittent burner ignition  
• Flames that fluctuate in size or temperature
• Gas leaks around connections that develop
• Failure of the oven or burners to ignite properly

Compatible models include Electrolux, Gibson, and select Kenmore ranges. 

The Regulator is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire gas ranges and cooktops. It is a valve component that regulates gas flow from the supply line into the appliance burners. Carefully controlling fuel input maintains proper and safe burner flame sizes.

Symptoms of a bad regulator include:

• Burners producing uneven or excessively high flames
• Inability to reduce burner flames properly  
• Gas leaks at the regulator connections

Causes of failure involve wear of internal sealing parts over extended use. Corrosion or debris clogging gas passages can also disrupt flow regulation.

This OEM Frigidaire replacement regulator ensures optimal and reliable burner performance. Compatible with some Amana, Electrolux, and KitchenAid models as well, regular replacements prevent dangerous gas line issues from developing. 

The Burner Orifice is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire gas ranges and cooktops. It controls the mixture of gas and air delivered to each burner element.  

Symptoms of a faulty orifice can include:

• Inconsistent or unpredictable burner flame heights 
• Yellow flames that create excess soot or carbon buildup
• Potential risk of flashback into gas lines

Causes may involve gradual damage from normal usage, such as cracks developing. Improper cleaning can deposit residue that changes flame characteristics as well.

This OEM Frigidaire replacement restores balanced gas flow regulation. Compatible with ranges from Electrolux, Gibson, and select Kenmore models.

The LP Bake and Broil Orifice Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges and ovens. It is a kit containing specially-sized orifices that control gas flow to the bake and broil burners. This allows for optimal gas-air mixture and fuel efficiency specific to liquefied petroleum (LP) gas systems.

Causes of needing a replacement kit include worn or damaged orifices that alter proper gas flow and burner performance over time.

Symptoms include:

• Slow or uneven heating from one or multiple burners
• Burners that create hot or cool spots on cookware
• Ineffective or soft flames that impact cooking results
• Higher appliance operation costs due to inefficient fuel usage

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

The Burner Orifice is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This part regulates the flow of gas to the burners, ensuring proper combustion and heat output.  

Causes of a bad burner orifice can include clogging from debris or food particles, corrosion or damage to the orifice opening, or improper installation or misalignment.

Symptoms of a bad burner orifice include:

• Uneven or flickering flames on the burners
• Yellow or orange-colored flames instead of a steady blue flame
• Burners producing excessive noise or popping sounds
• Difficulty in igniting the burners or keeping them lit
• Inconsistent heat output or hot and cold spots on the cooking surface
