Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Gas Burner Orifice Fitting Assembly (Part Number: OEM18028881)

1 Answer

Hello Douglas, These hoods are fully adjustable. If they are set up for natural gas they will be backed off about 1 1/2 to 2 turns. To change the unit over to LP gas simply tight them down clockwise about the same number of turns as previously listed. Be sure when adjusting the 1/2 inch brass hoods, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as this will cause damage to the unit. You will find one hood under each surface burner and one on the oven valve directly under the bake burner.

Alfred, The Orifice fitting assembly for your unit is part number WP5187M026-60 and is the same for both sides and are set from the factory for natural gas. To change to LP you would just tighten the orifices down and open the air shutters on the burners.

Todd, the unit is self convertible. You'll loosen the orifices 1 1/2 to 2 turns and flip the regulator from LP to Natural. Thanks.

Joe, You are correct, WP5187M026-60 apparently is used on both sides of the cooktop, so you can order 2 of the same part number, based on what I have reviewed. I'm also surprised, I would have thought you'have 2 different burner orifice assemblies, as well. Thanks for the inquiry, and Good Luck.
