Customer Questions and Answers for Burner Assembly (Small) by Whirlpool

This small surface burner assembly replaces a worn or damaged top burner on your gas range or cooktop, restoring quick ignition and an even flame so the small burner heats predictably for simmering and everyday cooking.

• Distributes gas through the burner ports to create a steady, controllable flame at the small-burner position
• Works with the igniter/orifice holder to light reliably
• Common symptoms: burner won't light or only clicks, weak or uneven flame, yellow tips, delayed ignition, or flame that sputters out
• Visible cracks, warping, or heavy corrosion on the burner head

• Shut off gas supply and power; allow the cooktop to cool completely before servicing
• Remove grate and cap, then take out the old burner assembly; retain any screws or brackets as required by your model
• Align the new assembly over the orifice and igniter; seat fully and secure per the manufacturer's instructions
• Restore gas and power, then check for proper ignition and flame; verify there are no gas leaks
