Customer Questions and Answers for Burner Cap (Kit) by Whirlpool

This burner cap kit replaces the removable cap that sits over a gas range burner, restoring even flame distribution and protecting the burner head from spills and debris. It helps maintain efficient heating and a clean cooktop appearance. What it does:

• Covers and shields the burner head to prevent food and liquid from entering the burner assembly
• Promotes even flame pattern for more consistent cooking heat
• Reduces hot spots and helps prevent burner clogging from spills
• Restores the cooktop's finished appearance after a cracked or damaged cap

• Only basic hand tools are typically required; allow the range to cool completely before starting
• Remove the old cap by lifting straight up; set the new cap into place by aligning it on the burner head
• If the burner still flames unevenly after installation, check for and clean any debris from the burner head and ports
• Follow all safety precautions: disconnect power and gas supply or turn gas control to OFF before servicing
