Screw (bur) is a fastener that secures panels, brackets and small assemblies on select Whirlpool appliances. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores proper fastening and helps reduce vibration, rattling and misalignment. What it does:

• Fastens panels, mounting brackets and small internal or external components to the appliance frame.
• Replacing a stripped or missing screw prevents loose parts and restores a secure fit.
• Symptoms of a failing screw include rattling, vibration, panels or trim that do not sit flush, or components that move during operation.
• Commonly used where a short machine screw or trim fastener is required for assembly.

• Disconnect power before beginning any service.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit and install straight to avoid stripping the head or threads.
• Do not overtighten — snug until secure to prevent damage to threads or parts.
• Keep removed fasteners organized and replace any damaged screws with the exact OEM fastener.

The Sealed Gas Burner Head is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It directs the gas flow to the burner, ensuring an even flame for cooking. This component is crucial for efficient heat distribution and precise cooking control.

Causes of a bad sealed gas burner head can include clogging from food debris or grease, corrosion due to exposure to moisture, or physical damage from impact or excessive heat. Over time, these factors can affect the burner's performance, leading to uneven cooking or failure to ignite.

Symptoms of a bad sealed gas burner head include:

• Uneven flame or no flame at all
• Difficulty in igniting the burner
• Yellow or irregularly shaped flames
• Burner not heating evenly or adequately

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

The Top Burner Spark Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for igniting the gas on the stove burners, allowing you to start cooking quickly and efficiently. The spark igniter produces a spark that lights the gas, providing the flame needed for cooking.

Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Spark Igniter include:

• Burner not igniting
• Weak or no spark
• Clicking sound without ignition
• Delayed ignition of the burner

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