Customer Questions and Answers for Burner Cap (Ctr-Xlg) by Ge

The Burner Cap is an OEM replacement part for GE gas cooktops. This one is the outer part of the burner cap that sits over the inner burner head and flames on a gas cooktop burner. The cap helps protect the inner burner parts while also directing and controlling the burner flame.

Symptoms of a faulty burner cap include:

• Uneven or weak flame
• Gas leakage around the burner heads
• Difficulty in adjusting the flame intensity

A bad outer cap can occur due to wear and tear, accidental damage, or exposure to high temperatures. If you notice signs of damage, such as cracks, discoloration, or a loose fit, it may be time to replace the outer cap. Replacing this part can help improve burner performance and flame if the old cap is damaged or corroded. 

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
