The Clip is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool free-standing electric ranges, securely fastening rack guides, and wire assemblies. This versatile clip features corrosion-resistant anchors and firm spring coils.

Causes of failure involve metal fatigue weakening the spring over years of expansion and contraction during heating, worn surfaces losing grip, or damaged barbs failing to anchor the racks correctly.

Symptoms of a bad cooking rack clip include:

• Loosened racks skewing pans off-center  
• Detached wires posing burn and electrical hazards
• Rattling components exacerbating noises  
• Difficulty transferring baking sheets without obstruction

Replace yours today with this genuine OEM Whirlpool clip. Compatible with KitchenAid, Maytag, and Jenn-Air appliances as well, its reinforced coils maintain constant tension for organized baking.

This orifice spud is the sealed gas fitting that meters fuel to an oven burner, helping maintain a steady, correct flame for consistent baking and roasting performance. Replace a damaged or clogged spud to restore proper oven heating. What it does:

• Controls the flow of gas from the valve to the oven burner for a steady flame
• Helps maintain consistent oven temperature and reliable heating
• Can prevent weak, uneven, or intermittent burner flames when functioning properly
• Works as the interface between the gas valve/orifice holder and the burner tube

• One orifice spud

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the appliance before starting work
• Use appropriate wrench tools and avoid overtightening; inspect seals and fittings for leaks after installation
• If you smell gas, stop; follow all local codes and safety recommendations
• Your appliance's service manual or parts diagram for exact location and removal steps

The Burner Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas cooktops. It controls the flow of gas to each burner element, regulating both the pilot light and burner flame. Made of metal, it features a precision valve design to open and close gas lines safely.

Causes can be grime or debris buildup from years of use, impact damage, or natural wear of internal components.

Problems with faulty burner valves consist of: 

• Inability to light or adjust burner flames  
• Gas leaks from weakened valve seals
• Potential safety hazards from unreliable burner control

This OEM replacement part is compatible with additional brands including Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and select Kenmore designs.

This gas valve controls the flow of gas to the burner assembly so the appliance lights and maintains a steady flame. Replaces a failed valve to restore reliable ignition and heating performance. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner so the appliance can ignite and maintain a stable flame
• Works with the ignition system to open and close gas supply during cycles
• Commonly replaced when burners won't light or oven/burner flame is weak or intermittent
• Can prevent continuous gas flow when functioning properly

• Turn off electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• After installation, check all gas connections for leaks and verify proper operation
• Follow all local codes and manufacturer service literature when working on gas components

This spark module supplies the high-voltage pulses that ignite the surface burners on a gas cooktop or range. Replacing a failing module helps restore consistent clicking and spark so burners light promptly and reliably.

• Supplies high-voltage to up to five surface igniters (5+0 configuration)
• Sends spark when a burner control is turned to Lite
• Failure symptoms can include no spark on all or multiple burners
• May also cause intermittent/weak spark or continuous clicking

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Note wire locations; move one connector at a time to matching terminals
• Mount securely in the original position and ensure proper grounding
• After replacement, if only one burner won't ignite, inspect that burner's switch and igniter

The surface igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. It is responsible for generating the heat needed for gas burners to ignite. The igniter contains a small ceramic element inside that produces an electric spark whenever a burner is turned on. 

Symptoms of a bad surface igniter include:

• Gas burners that fail to light or ignite intermittently
• Dim or weak burner flames  
• Rattling or buzzing sounds coming from below the cooktop

Causes of failure are generally normal wear and tear over many burner ignitions. Mineral buildup or food debris could also potentially obstruct the electric spark.

This replacement igniter is also compatible with ranges, cooktops, and built-in ovens from Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and several Kenmore models.
