Orifice hood (#57) is the burner component that centers and protects the burner orifice, helping deliver a steady, correctly-shaped gas flame for even cooking. Replacing a damaged hood restores reliable burner operation and flame control. What it does:
- Positions and shields the burner orifice to ensure correct gas flow to the burner.
- Helps maintain proper flame shape for even heat distribution across the burner.
- Can cause uneven or weak flames, delayed ignition, or irregular heating when damaged or corroded.
- Use as a direct replacement when the existing hood is bent, cracked, or excessively worn.
What's included: One orifice hood. Install notes:
- Shut off the appliance power and gas supply before attempting any service.
- Replace only when the burner is cool; do not force or over-tighten parts.
- Inspect the burner head and orifice for damage or debris when installing this hood.
