Customer Questions and Answers for Orifice Holder (12K Burner) by Whirlpool

This orifice holder routes gas from the surface burner valve to the burner head. Sized for a 12K burner, it restores proper gas flow and reliable ignition when the original holder is damaged, clogged, or misaligned.

• Positions the orifice and channels gas to the burner head on a 12,000-BTU burner
• Maintains correct gas flow for a steady, consistent flame
• Common symptoms: burner won't ignite though the igniter sparks, weak/uneven flame, or stripped/damaged threads at the holder
• Match the 12K rating to the correct burner location per your model's parts diagram

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Remove grates and burner parts; lift the cooktop as needed to access the holder
• Transfer any brackets/gaskets from the original and install squarely; do not overtighten fittings
• Restore gas and check all connections with a non-corrosive leak-detection solution; verify ignition and flame quality
