The Oven Orifice Spud LP is an OEM part for GE gas ovens and ranges. This part controls the flow of liquid propane (LP) gas into the oven burner box.
The oven orifice spud plays a role in gas combustion, adjusting flow to match the needs of a liquid propane system. It connects directly to the gas supply, so an improperly sized or damaged spud can lead to gas leaks or incomplete burning.
Causes of a bad oven orifice spud include normal wear over time from constant heating cycles, exposure to cleaning chemicals, or damage during part replacement.
Symptoms of needing a replacement include:
- Uneven or inconsistent oven heating
- Extended cooking times or inability to reach desired temperatures
- Gas smell coming from the oven area
- Visible damage or cracks on the spud itself
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
