Maytag Cooktop Gas Conv Kit Parts

This conversion orifice spud kit contains three precision orifice spuds used to change the gas flow profile for compatible cooktop/oven burners. It helps restore correct burner flame size and performance after a fuel-type conversion. What it does:

• Replaces worn or incorrect orifice spuds to set proper gas flow for burner operation
• Used in fuel-type conversion to match burner jets to the correct gas pressure/type
• Can resolve uneven or weak flames and burners that won't reach expected heat
• Works with each burner where a standard orifice spud is specified

• Turn off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing; follow all safety procedures
• Installation may require burner removal and a proper wrench or driver for the spuds
• After installation, check all fittings for leaks using a gas leak detector or soapy water

This orifice spud directs gas flow to a burner for correct flame performance, restoring safe, consistent ignition and heat. It's a direct-replacement component used where the factory orifice has become damaged or worn. What it does:

• Controls the gas flow to a specific burner for proper flame size and combustion
• Helps restore consistent ignition and even heating when a burner burns low or unevenly
• Can stop symptoms like weak or unstable flames and uneven cooking
• Does not alter appliance settings—matches OEM flow characteristics when installed

• Turn off the gas supply and power to the appliance before starting any work
• Use appropriate tools and thread sealant rated for gas joints if required by the manufacturer
• After installation, check all connections for leaks with a soap solution or approved leak detector
• Gas-system repairs are safety-sensitive; perform the replacement

This orifice spud is the small gas jet used in LP conversion kits to regulate propane flow to a burner, helping restore correct flame size and combustion after converting to liquid propane. It's a direct-fit component for affected burners. What it does:

• Replaces the burner jet that meters propane for safe, consistent flame
• Restores proper flame height and prevents oversized or sooting flames after LP conversion
• Helps burners light reliably and maintain even heat
• Works as part of an approved LP conversion to match appliance fuel type

• Turn off gas supply and power before starting any gas appliance service
• Use the correct orifice size and follow the appliance LP conversion instructions or service manual
• Hand-tighten and then torque per manufacturer spec if provided; avoid overtightening

The Holder Orifice is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool ranges. Located inside the gas burner unit, the orifice holds the brass valve that regulates gas flow to each burner flame. Its sturdy construction and precisely sized opening ensure a stable, controlled fuel supply.  

Causes of a bad holder orifice can include mineral deposits building over time which diminish sizing accuracy or cracks developing that cause leaks.

Symptoms of a bad holder orifice include:  

• Burners emitting unstable or sporadic flames of abnormal sizes
• Inability to efficiently ignite or achieve proper burner settings  
• Strong gas or fuel smells coming from the range top
• Discolored or corroded brass components

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

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 Conversion Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges and cooktops. It allows the unit to be converted from natural gas to liquid propane fuel. The kit includes all 5 orifices.

Causes of needing a new conversion kit include a change in fuel source from natural gas to propane or vice versa. It may also be required if any gas system parts like valves or regulators become damaged or fail inspection. 

Symptoms of improperly converted or missing conversion components include:

• Incorrect burner flame pattern or color 
• Inefficient or irregular heating 
• Gas smell 
• Visible yellow flame instead of blue

This Whirlpool OEM kit is compatible for use on Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and some Jenn-Air and Kenmore models.

The Orifice Holder is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas cooktops. This part is responsible for securely holding the orifice, which controls the flow of gas to the burners. The gas cooktop orifice holder ensures proper gas flow and safe operation of the burners. It is designed to withstand high temperatures and regular use.

A bad orifice holder can occur due to wear and tear over time, exposure to heat, or accidental damage. If you notice symptoms such as gas leaks, weak flame, or inconsistent burner performance, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad orifice holder include:

• Gas leaks
• Weak flame
• Inconsistent burner flame

Restore your Whirlpool gas cooktop by replacing the worn or damaged orifice holder with this genuine OEM part.

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

This LP orifice kit supplies four factory-style liquid propane burner orifices to convert the cooktop burners for use with LP gas, restoring proper fuel flow for reliable ignition and consistent flames. What it does:

• Replaces LP burner orifices to set correct fuel jet size for propane
• Helps correct weak, uneven, or hard-to-light burner flames after conversion
• Restores consistent burner performance and heat output when properly installed
• Matches OEM fit and flow characteristics for compatible cooktops

• Four (4) LP burner orifices as shown

• Follow the appliance conversion instructions and local codes; conversion often requires replacing orifices and adjusting orificing settings
• Turn off the gas supply and electrical power before starting work
• Use proper tools; do not enlarge or modify orifices

This LP orifice kit provides the correctly sized orifices needed for propane fuel systems on compatible gas ranges and cooktops, helping burners produce a proper, consistent flame for safe cooking. What it does:

• Replaces worn or incorrect LP burner orifices to restore proper gas flow
• Helps correct weak, uneven, or hard-to-light burner flames
• Reduces yellow or sooty combustion associated with wrong orifices
• Enables proper burner performance after a fuel-type conversion when used as directed

• One LP orifice kit

• Shut off gas supply and electrical power before servicing; follow all safety procedures
• Installation may require disassembly of burner components and a gas-tight seal check
• Use only with appliances and conversion procedures specified by the manufacturer
