Kitchenaid Gas Conv Kit Parts

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.

Orifice meters gas flow to a cooktop or range burner, helping maintain correct flame size and reliable ignition. Replacing a clogged or damaged orifice restores consistent heat and more stable burner performance. What it does:

• Meters and controls the gas flow to a single burner so the flame burns at the proper height.
• Helps maintain steady ignition and even heating across the burner.
• Common symptoms indicating replacement: weak or uneven flames, difficulty lighting, or burners that won't stay lit.
• Clogged by debris or corroded over time, causing restricted gas flow.

• Turn off the appliance power and shut off the gas supply before attempting any service.
• Verify the correct orifice size and gas type for your appliance using the OEM diagram; use proper seals and avoid overtightening.
• If you smell gas, stop immediately, ventilate the area.

The LP Conversion Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas cooktops. This kit allows a range designed for natural gas to be safely converted for use with liquid propane gas.

The conversion kit includes all necessary components to modify the gas valve, burner heads, and airflow to accommodate propane fuel. This ensures proper gas-air mixture and optimal combustion when operating on liquid propane.

Causes of needing conversion include switching to propane fuel when the range was originally set up for natural gas.

Symptoms of needing an LP conversion include:

• Inability to ignite burners or oven pilot light on propane
• Yellow burner flames and decreased heat output
• Gas smell from the range

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

This conversion kit contains the parts needed to change a compatible gas appliance from one fuel configuration to another, helping restore safe, efficient operation after a fuel-type change. What it does:

• Provides the specific orifices and fittings required for converting a compatible gas range/oven or appliance between fuel types
• Helps correct burner performance issues caused by mismatched fuel setup
• Enables appliance to meet proper fuel pressure and flow when converted as directed
• Intended for use only when appliance requires a manufacturer-specified fuel conversion

• Turn off gas supply and power before starting; verify no leaks after installation
• Use only the parts and adjustment procedures specified for your appliance model

This orifice is the small metal fitting that meters gas to a burner, helping maintain a consistent flame for reliable cooking and oven performance. It replaces a clogged or damaged metering fitting to restore proper burner operation. What it does:

• Controls and meters gas flow to a specific burner for correct flame size
• Helps maintain a steady, even flame for consistent cooking or baking
• A clogged or damaged orifice can cause weak, uneven, or failed ignition
• Worn or damaged fittings may cause gas flow issues that affect burner performance

• Turn off the appliance and shut off the gas supply before beginning work
• Replace only with the exact orifice specified for your appliance
• Tighten securely with the proper wrench and check connections for leaks using a soap-and-water solution

This fitting connects a hose or pipe to the appliance to create a secure fluid connection, helping prevent leaks and restore proper water or fluid flow. It's a small but essential plumbing connector used in supply and drain lines. What it does:

• Provides a sealed connection between appliance tubing and a fixture or valve
• Restores secure water/fluid flow when a worn or damaged connector is causing leaks
• Helps stop drips or intermittent flow caused by loose or corroded fittings
• Works as the link between rigid pipes and flexible hoses in supply/drain assemblies

• Turn off water supply and unplug the appliance before starting work
• Inspect mating tubing and seals; replace damaged hoses or O-rings as needed
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten following OEM torque guidance
• If threads are present, use plumber's tape only where the OEM specifies; avoid over-tightening
