The Grate-Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool cooktops. It includes replacement grates for the oven and broiler that sit above the burner elements. These grates protect the heating elements and allow for food to be easily placed into and removed from the oven cavity.
Causes of a bad grate kit can include wear and deterioration over time from repeated exposure to high heat, as well as accidents like impact damage or scratches from improper cleaning.
Symptoms of a bad grate kit include:
- Visible wear and thinning of grates that expose heating elements
- Loose, wobbly, or damaged grates that could fall into the oven
- Discoloration or corrosion
- Difficulty removing or placing food on grates
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
