Maytag Range Gas Conv Kit Parts

This orifice holder secures the 5K gas orifice in place on compatible gas burners, keeping the orifice aligned for consistent flame performance and safe operation. It's a small but essential mounting component. What it does:

• Holds the 5K orifice firmly at the burner connection to maintain correct alignment
• Helps ensure consistent gas flow to the burner for steady, even flames
• A damaged or loose holder can cause a weak, uneven, or intermittent flame
• Works with the burner assembly to support reliable ignition and heat output

• One orifice holder (5K) as shown

• Turn off gas supply and power to the appliance before servicing
• Access may require removing the burner cap and grates or front panels
• Handle small components carefully; keep track of fasteners and orientation

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

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.

This LP Conversion Kit adapts a compatible gas appliance from natural gas to liquid propane, aligning regulator settings and burner orifice sizing so flames are correct and ignition is reliable for safe, efficient operation when installed per OEM instructions.

• Converts a natural-gas–configured unit to LP/propane per model specifications
• Helps address issues seen when an NG setup is run on LP: large or yellow flames, soot, uneven heating, or difficulty adjusting flame
• Supports proper regulator pressure and burner orifice sizing for steady ignition and flame
• Model-specific kit—use only on models that call for this part number

• Conversion should be performed by a qualified gas technician; follow the product's service manual and local codes
• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing; leak-test all fittings after conversion with an approved solution
• Adjust/convert the pressure regulator and replace/adjust burner orifices as instructed; complete burner flame and air-shutter adjustments
• Verify final flame characteristics on all burners and complete any required appliance labeling per manufacturer instructions

This orifice holder secures the burner orifice to the gas manifold so the burner stays aligned and maintains proper gas flow. It helps keep burner assembly components positioned for consistent ignition and flame performance. What it does:

• Holds the burner orifice in place on the manifold to prevent misalignment
• Keeps the orifice correctly positioned for steady gas flow and stable flames
• Can address symptoms like uneven flame, intermittent ignition, or poor burner performance when the orifice is loose
• Works as a direct replacement part for the factory-mounted orifice support

• Turn off gas supply and electrical power before servicing any gas appliance
• Inspect surrounding gaskets and fittings; replace damaged parts as needed
• Tighten to manufacturer torque specs and check for gas leaks after installation
