Roper Gas Conv Kit Parts

The LP Conversion Kit is an OEM component for Whirlpool and KitchenAid gas dryers. It allows conversion from natural gas to liquid propane fuel operation. Over time in gas-powered dryers, improper gas/air mixture causes part wear like weakened burner components. This is risky if overlooked but converting to an alternative fuel safely remedies. 

Causes relate to unavoidable deterioration from gas combustion stresses. Conversion using this kit prevents hazardous gas leaks or explosions.

Symptoms involve:

• Diminished or unsafe heat levels from burners
• Gas leaks which exacerbate safety risks over time

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Whirlpool LP gas conversion kit is an OEM replacement part responsible for allowing the conversion of a natural gas-powered dryer to operate on LP (liquid propane) gas. This kit contains the orifice, leak limiter, and an instruction sheet to guide the conversion process. Once the conversion kit is installed, it alters the fuel source of the dryer, allowing it to burn LP gas instead of natural gas. This conversion is necessary when a home or installation site lacks access to natural gas and relies on LP gas as the fuel source for heating appliances

Causes for needing an LP gas conversion kit include relocating the appliance to a home with LP gas, or preferring LP gas over natural gas for cooking efficiency or availability. The conversion process involves changing the orifices and adjusting the gas pressure to suit LP gas requirements.

Symptoms that indicate a need for conversion or issues with the current setup include:

• Improper or uneven flame on the burners
• Difficulty in lighting the burners
• Burners not operating at full power
• Gas smell indicating possible leaks or incorrect gas type

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

For Use With LP

This conversion orifice spud kit contains three precision orifice spuds used to change the gas flow profile for compatible cooktop/oven burners. It helps restore correct burner flame size and performance after a fuel-type conversion. What it does:

• Replaces worn or incorrect orifice spuds to set proper gas flow for burner operation
• Used in fuel-type conversion to match burner jets to the correct gas pressure/type
• Can resolve uneven or weak flames and burners that won't reach expected heat
• Works with each burner where a standard orifice spud is specified

• Turn off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing; follow all safety procedures
• Installation may require burner removal and a proper wrench or driver for the spuds
• After installation, check all fittings for leaks using a gas leak detector or soapy water

This orifice spud directs gas flow to a range or oven burner for proper ignition and stable flames. Replacing a worn or damaged spud restores consistent burner performance and helps prevent uneven heating or ignition problems. What it does:

• Seats the burner orifice and channels gas to the burner for correct flame shape and heat output
• Helps maintain steady ignition and consistent burner operation
• Commonly replaced when flames are weak, uneven, or fail to light reliably
• Fits into the burner assembly to ensure safe, controlled gas flow

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove burner parts to access the orifice; keep track of small parts and orientations
• Thread by hand first, then snug with the correct-size wrench—do not overtighten
