Symptoms of a failed orifice include:

  • Slow or inefficient drying times and extended cycles
  • Uneven or incomplete drying of loads
  • Changes in flame appearance like higher than normal yellow tips

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

Hello Mark, The LP and Natural gas blocking pin covers WP694424 are different in appearance, so you may not recognize its' appearance since the LP cover has a long plastic pin on the end where the Natural does not have this. The difference is how it holds the gas stop since LP pressure is higher and the stop cannot open as far as the natural allows the gas stop to open.
