The Cap-Burner (Black) is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges and cooktops. This burner cap sits on top of the right rear burner head and helps distribute the flame evenly for efficient cooking. It also protects the burner head from spills and debris, ensuring proper functionality and longevity of the burner.
Over time, burner caps can become damaged or worn out due to constant exposure to high temperatures, spills, and regular cleaning. A bad burner cap can lead to uneven flames, poor cooking performance, and potential damage to the burner head.
Symptoms of a bad burner cap include:
- Uneven or irregular flame
- Flames that are too high or too low
- Difficulty igniting the burner
- Visible cracks or discoloration on the cap
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
