The Orifice Holder Assembly is an OEM part for Bosch gas ranges. It securely holds the orifice which regulate gas flow to each burner, allowing flame levels to be finely tuned during cooking.
Causes can include deformation from overheating, damage or wear to the small orifice holes. Exposure to water or food debris may also lead to blockage over time.
Symptoms of a bad orifice holder include:
- Inability to properly adjust or maintain burner flame levels
- Uneven or irregularly sized flames between burners
- Gas leaks or flames that fluctuate excessively
This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
