Whirlpool 74011652 Burner Asy (Dual) OEM Part

I have a Jenn Air gas stove converted to propane, and front right burner would not ignite. Visual inspection showed the igniter was skewed off center away from the burner ring. Disassembly revealed significant corrosion on the igniter screw and metal holding tab. The corrosion on the holding tab was enough to cause the igniter to shift and skew. Also, significant corrosion on the holding screws for the upper burner assemblies, which is a major problem for disassembly of the cook top. The front two burner assemblies required breaking off the screw heads for removal. Anti-seize compounds were no good due to the weakening of the screws. I ended up replacing both upper and lower burner assemblies on the front due to holding screws stuck in the lower assemblies, and igniter screws stuck in the upper assemblies. The rear assemblies were salvageable. I replaced the cheap OEM holding screws for all burners with stainless steel (1" #8 self tapping AB threaded, phillips drive) and used anti-seize compound on the reassembly. The dual assembly was also tricky to remove due to the gas tubing compression fittings seizing on the center ring orifice entry. I was able to remove the outer tubing and bend the inner tubing enough to spin the orifice assembly instead of the compression nut.

Like many others, the screws holding in this burner assembly were completely ceased. I had to drill them out, and it was difficult. Below the assembly was so rusted, there is nothing left to screw into. Great parts, perfect fit, poor design on Jenn-Air's part. An obvious flaw and without replacing the sub parts that this assembly to screws into there is no way to hold down this part. Great parts, great service, rapid delivery....bad stove....bad bad stove with some major design flaws.

Replaced burned. Perfect fir installed in about 20 minutes all 4 burners.
