Customer Questions and Answers for Orifice Holder (Rear Burner) by Ge

This rear orifice holder mounts beneath the cooktop to route gas from the valve to the rear surface burner. It positions the orifice correctly for reliable ignition and a stable, even flame at the rear burner.

• Channels gas from the valve through the orifice to the rear surface burner
• Aligns and supports the orifice spud for proper flame shape and height
• Helps address delayed ignition, weak/uneven or yellow flames at the rear burner
• A damaged or loose holder can contribute to clicking without lighting or a gas odor near the burner

• Shut off gas supply and power; allow the cooktop to cool before servicing
• Remove grates, burner caps/heads, and lift or release the cooktop to access the manifold area
• Detach the old holder from the valve and mounting points; note orientation and transfer the existing orifice spud to the new holder
• Reassemble, restore gas, and check all connections for leaks with a soapy-water solution; verify proper ignition and flame
