Parts for Maytag JGS8850BDS17: 03 - Manifold Parts

This dual orifice holder secures two burner orifices in gas ranges, keeping the burner orifices aligned for proper gas flow and stable flames. It helps restore consistent ignition and even heat across affected burners. What it does:

• Holds and positions two burner orifices in the manifold or burner assembly
• Keeps orifices aligned to ensure proper gas flow to each burner
• Can resolve symptoms like weak, uneven, or inconsistent burner flames and ignition problems
• Works as a replacement for damaged, corroded, or bent orifice mounting hardware

• One dual orifice holder

• Turn off gas supply and electrical power before servicing; follow local codes
• Remove burner caps and access the orifice area per your model's service instructions
• Retain correct orientation when installing; avoid bending or stressing the orifice

This orifice holder secures the gas orifice in a burner assembly to ensure proper alignment and gas flow for reliable ignition and flame performance. It fits the specified burner configuration and replaces a damaged or missing holder. What it does:

• Holds the burner orifice in place so the burner can ignite correctly
• Maintains correct orifice alignment for consistent flame shape and heat output
• Common symptom fix: burner won't light or produces a weak/uneven flame
• Works with the matching orifice sized for the listed burner application

• Turn off gas supply and electrical power before servicing the appliance
• Handle small parts carefully and confirm correct orientation during reassembly
• Check surrounding gaskets and seals and replace if deteriorated

This gas surface-burner orifice holder serves the 15K burner position on many cooktops/ranges. It routes gas from the valve to the burner orifice and keeps the burner properly aligned for consistent ignition and flame.

• Channels gas from the surface valve to the orifice for the 15K burner
• Rigidly locates the burner base and orifice for correct flame pattern and ignition
• Common symptoms of a failed holder include: burner clicking but not lighting, weak/small or uneven flame, or intermittent ignition on that burner
• Replacement restores proper alignment and gas flow at the affected burner

• Shut off gas supply and disconnect power; allow the appliance to cool
• Remove grates, caps, and burner heads; lift/open the top to access the holder
• Note orientation, disconnect tubing, remove mounting screws, and install the new holder in the same position; transfer any fittings as needed
• After reassembly, perform a soap-and-water leak check at all serviced connections before use

This spark module controls ignition for four surface burners and provides automatic reignition if a flame goes out. It generates the high-voltage spark and monitors flame for dependable lighting and consistent cooktop performance.

• Generates high-voltage pulses to ignite up to four surface burners
• Senses flame presence and automatically re-sparks if a flame is lost
• Helps stop sparking once flame is detected to reduce clicking
• Symptoms this part is involved with include: no spark on any burner, intermittent or weak spark, or continuous clicking after lighting

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Access is typically under the cooktop or behind a panel; mount the module securely away from heat and moisture
• Transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals; ensure ground/neutral connections are secure for proper flame sensing
• After reassembly, restore power and test each burner for ignition and that clicking stops when flame is present

The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securely fastening various components and parts within Whirlpool appliances. These screws are essential for maintaining the structural integrity and safe operation of the appliance. These screws hold together critical components like panels, brackets, handles, and internal parts.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Loose or wobbly handles on refrigerators, ovens, or other appliances
• Vibrations or rattling noises during appliance operation
• Inability to assemble or disassemble parts during appliance repair or maintenance

The Whirlpool screw can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Size: 10-24X5/16-NI

This factory screw secures appliance components to their mounting points. Replace missing, worn, or stripped hardware to restore a tight fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation across the affected assembly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, or internal parts to the chassis or frame
• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal

This wing nut is a hand-tightening fastener used to secure small appliance components for easy tool-free adjustment or removal. It offers a simple replacement when the original nut is lost, stripped, or broken. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components that require occasional removal or adjustment
• Allows tool-free tightening and loosening with built-in wings for finger grip
• Restores proper fit where a missing or damaged nut causes rattling, looseness, or instability
• Designed for repeated hand-operation without specialized tools

• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing any work to avoid shock or injury
• Thread by hand until snug; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping threads or cracking surrounding parts
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged to ensure secure fastening
• Use appropriate size and thread type—do not force a mismatched nut onto the stud

This replacement screw secures appliance panels and components to restore proper fit and prevent rattling or movement. It's a direct-fit fastening part used where the original OEM screw is specified. What it does:

• Secures trim, access panels, or internal components to maintain structural fit
• Prevents vibration noise and loose parts by holding assemblies firmly
• Matches OEM fit and threading for correct engagement when used in original locations
• Intended for repairs that require the exact replacement fastener

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic

A shoulder screw that secures appliance components and provides a precise pivot or spacer point. Replaces a missing or worn screw to restore alignment, reduce rattling, and keep panels and assemblies securely in place. What it does:

• Provides a fixed-diameter shoulder for pivots, spacers, or mounting points in assemblies.
• Holds panels and moving components at the correct distance to prevent binding or friction.
• A missing or worn shoulder screw can cause misalignment, rattling, or loose parts during operation.
• Used where a smooth-bearing surface and controlled clearance are required between parts.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing.
• Handle small fasteners carefully to avoid dropping into assemblies; magnetic pickup tools can help.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly but avoid overtightening.

The Oven Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens, designed to ignite the gas in the oven burner, allowing it to heat. This crucial component is responsible for creating the spark that starts the combustion process, enabling your oven to reach the desired temperature for baking or broiling.  

Causes of a bad oven igniter include wear and tear from regular use, a buildup of residue that can inhibit the igniter's ability to heat properly, or electrical issues that prevent the igniter from drawing enough current.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• Oven not heating up at all
• Oven takes longer than usual to heat up
• Gas smell when the oven is turned on, indicating gas is not igniting

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
