The Burner Cap is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas cooktops and ranges. This cap sits atop the burner head and is responsible for evenly distributing the flame for consistent heating. Made from durable materials, it ensures efficient cooking performance while protecting the burner head from debris and spills.
Causes of a bad Burner Cap can include physical damage such as cracks or chips due to accidental drops, exposure to excessive heat over time, or buildup of food and grease that affects its functionality. A poorly fitting cap can also result in uneven flame distribution or inefficient cooking.
Symptoms of a bad Burner Cap include:
- Uneven flame or difficulty in lighting the burner
- Visible damage such as warping, cracks, or chips
- Food or grease buildup that is hard to clean
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
