Customer Questions and Answers for Orifice, Natural Gas (Fixed, Single) by Frigidaire

A fixed natural gas orifice that meters fuel to a cooktop or oven burner to help maintain the correct flame size for reliable ignition and consistent heating. Replaces a worn or damaged natural-gas orifice to restore normal burner performance. What it does:

• Regulates the flow of natural gas to a burner for proper flame shape and heat output.
• Helps address weak, uneven, or low flames and burners that take longer to reach set temperature.
• Works at the burner valve/orifice holder to maintain steady ignition and cooking performance.
• Intended for natural gas systems only—use LP/propane orifices only when a verified conversion has been performed.

• Before servicing, shut off the gas supply and electrical power to the appliance.
• Replace only with the correct OEM or equivalent orifice size; do not force or overtighten.
• After installation, check all connections for leaks.
