The Regulator is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It regulates the flow of gas from the supply line to the burners, ensuring safe and efficient operation of your range. It maintains a consistent gas pressure, allowing for accurate and controlled heat distribution during cooking.

A bad pressure regulator can occur due to wear and tear, clogging, or damage to the internal components. If you notice symptoms such as uneven flame, difficulty in igniting the burners, or gas leaks, it may be time to replace the pressure regulator.

Symptoms of a bad gas pressure regulator include:

• Uneven flame
• Difficulty in igniting burners
• Gas leaks

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

This dual burner valve controls gas flow to two cooktop burners, restoring reliable ignition and heat control for gas ranges. It replaces a worn or leaking valve assembly to help stop burner failure and gas odors. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to two burners so burners light and hold a steady flame
• Stops common symptoms like burners not lighting or weak/intermittent flames
• Helps prevent gas leaks when seals and valve seats are functioning correctly
• Used when clicking/ignition occurs but burners fail to sustain flame

• Shut off gas supply and power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Inspect and replace any damaged gaskets or fittings; use proper thread sealant where required by the manufacturer.
• Tighten connections to specified torque and test all fittings for leaks with a soapy water solution or approved detector.

This single surface burner spark electrode generates the spark that lights the gas on your cooktop or range. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores reliable ignition and reduces "click with no flame" at that burner.

• Creates a high-voltage spark at the burner to ignite gas
• Positions the spark at the burner head via a ceramic-insulated tip
• Common symptoms: burner won't light, no spark at that burner, or intermittent ignition
• Visual clues of failure can include cracked/chipped porcelain or a burned electrode tip

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool; remove burner cap/head to access the electrode
• Seat the ceramic insulator fully and position the tip correctly near the burner
• Reassemble and test ignition before finalizing the repair

This auxiliary burner cap replaces a worn or damaged cap on gas cooktop/range auxiliary burners to help restore proper flame shape and heat distribution. Designed for a direct fit on compatible OEM burner bases. What it does:

• Covers the auxiliary burner head to direct flame and protect the burner ports
• Helps improve even heating and consistent flame pattern when properly seated
• Commonly replaced when the cap is cracked, warped, or shows heavy corrosion
• Fits onto the burner base; does not include the burner base, igniter, or grates

• Allow the cooktop to cool and disconnect power/gas per appliance safety instructions before servicing
• Remove grates and lift off the old cap; clean burner base of debris before installing the new cap
• Align and seat the cap firmly on the burner base so it sits flat and centered

This burner cap (C) is the replaceable top piece that sits on a gas burner head to help shape the flame and protect the burner ports. It restores proper flame pattern and helps maintain consistent heat across the cooking surface. What it does:

• Centers and shapes the burner flame for more even heat distribution during cooking
• Protects the burner head and ports from food spills, debris, and corrosion
• Helps prevent irregular or yellow flames caused by misaligned or damaged caps
• Works with the existing burner base to maintain safe, consistent burner operation

• Allow the cooktop and burner to fully cool and shut off gas or power before servicing
• Remove debris and verify the burner head is clean and properly seated before placing the cap
• Set the cap flat on the burner head so it sits evenly; misalignment can cause flame issues

This burner valve controls gas flow to a single surface burner, restoring proper ignition and flame control for your cooktop. It's the OEM-style valve used where a single valve failed or leaks. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to one surface burner so the burner lights and maintains a steady flame.
• Replaces a worn, stuck, or leaking valve that can prevent a burner from igniting or holding a flame.
• Helps correct low or inconsistent flame height caused by valve malfunction.
• Works with standard gas cooktop valve assemblies compatible with the listed part number.

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use proper fittings and thread sealant where required; check manufacturer guidance for torque.
• After installation, test for leaks with a safe leak-detection method (soapy water or a gas sniffer).

This ground screw secures the appliance grounding conductor to the chassis for a reliable electrical ground connection, helping maintain safety and proper operation. It's a direct-fit fastener used where a dedicated ground screw is required. What it does

• Fastens the grounding conductor to the appliance frame to maintain a secure earth/ground connection.
• Helps prevent electrical shock and reduces risk of stray voltage on the chassis.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent or absent grounding and loose or corroded ground connections.
• Used wherever the original equipment grounding screw has been lost, damaged, or corroded.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Only attach to designated grounding points on the chassis; ensure the mating surface is clean and free of paint or corrosion.
• Use the correct driver and moderate hand torque—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.

This burner top assembly restores the burner base that supports the cooktop burner cap and gas flow components for safe, reliable ignition and flame control. It's a direct-fit replacement designed for compatible gas ranges. What it does

• Provides the support and housing for the burner cap, orifice and ignition path
• Restores stable, centered burner cap placement for even flame distribution
• Helps resolve symptoms like a loose or wobbly burner cap, intermittent ignition, or uneven flame
• Works with existing igniters, caps and valves when those components are functioning properly

• One burner top assembly (burner base) as described

• Disconnect the appliance from power and turn off the gas supply before servicing
• Remove cooktop grates and burner caps to access and replace the burner base
• Use basic hand tools; ensure all gas connections and igniter alignment are correct before testing

This single simmer burner valve controls gas flow to a single low/simmer burner, restoring consistent low-heat operation and safe flame adjustment. Direct-fit replacement when the simmer burner won't light or holds only high flame. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the low/simmer burner for stable, low-heat cooking
• Replaces a worn or leaking valve that can cause an uneven or nonfunctional simmer flame
• Helps stop slow gas leaks at the control port when the valve is faulty
• Works with the range/stove valve assembly to restore normal burner control

• One burner valve (single simmer)

• Turn off gas supply and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Handle gas components carefully; inspect and replace any damaged seals or gaskets
• Installation may require disassembling the cooktop and/or valve manifold

This burner head (Type D) replaces a damaged or worn burner component to restore proper gas flow and even flame distribution on compatible cooktops. It's a direct-fit part when your existing burner is cracked, warped, or corroded. What it does:

• Directs gas to the cooktop ports so the burner produces an even, controlled flame
• Restores consistent heating when flames are weak, uneven, or drifting
• Prevents gas leakage at the burner surface when seated and secured correctly
• Helps eliminate hotspots caused by a warped or damaged burner surface

• Turn off gas supply and power to the appliance before starting work
• Ensure burner is cool and remove grates and burner caps to access the head
• Seat the new burner head fully on its base so ports align; test for proper flame after reassembly
• If you smell gas, can't reassemble, or the burner still behaves abnormally, stop.

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.
