Whirlpool Burner & Related Parts

The Surface Burner Base is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This component is a critical part of the stove's burner assembly, housing the gas outlet and providing a stable platform for the burner cap and flame spreader. It is specifically designed to handle the rigors of daily cooking, ensuring an even and controlled flame that enhances your cooking precision.

Symptoms of a failing Surface Burner Base include:

• Uneven flames or poor heat distribution
• Difficulty in lighting the burner
• Gas leaks detected around the burner area
• Visible signs of corrosion or damage to the base

Common causes for burner base issues can include continual exposure to high temperatures, spills that lead to clogging or corrosion, and normal wear and tear. 

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

Replace a clogged or damaged rear burner with this surface burner head in black. It channels gas to the flame ports so the rear burner lights reliably and delivers a consistent, even flame for everyday cooking.

• Directs gas through precisely sized ports to form the rear burner flame pattern
• Interfaces with the spark igniter/electrode for dependable ignition
• Helps restore proper burner performance when ports are worn, corroded, or blocked
• Common symptoms: burner clicks but won't light, uneven or weak flame, yellow tipping, delayed ignition

• Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing
• Remove grate and burner cap; take out mounting screws and lift the old burner head straight up over the igniter
• Align the new head over the orifice and igniter; secure with the existing screws
• Reassemble and test for proper ignition and flame on all burners

This burner cap sits on a sealed gas burner to shape the flame and protect the burner head. Replace to restore even heat and reliable ignition when the original is damaged, warped, or missing.

• Shapes and distributes the flame for even heating and better simmer control
• Shields burner ports from spills and debris to help prevent clogging
• Aids proper ignition and flame stability when correctly seated
• Common symptoms: uneven or yellow flames, sputtering, delayed ignition, continuous clicking, visible chips/warping

• Allow the cooktop/range to cool; shut off gas and power as needed
• Match the cap to the correct burner position for your model
• Lift off the old cap; clean the burner head/ports; set the new cap flat and centered
• Light and test; if flame is uneven or noisy, reseat and re-test

This surface burner valve regulates gas flow to a top burner on your gas range or cooktop. The simmer version enhances low-heat control so the flame adjusts smoothly from a steady simmer to a full boil. What it does:

• Regulates gas to the surface burner as you turn the knob, controlling flame size
• Simmer variant improves stable low-flame performance at lower settings
• Common failure symptoms: burner won't light though the igniter sparks, flame won't adjust or stays at one level
• Knob feels stiff/binds or the stem no longer aligns correctly with settings

• 1 surface burner valve

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Remove the control knob and access the valve/manifold from the control panel or cooktop top
• Note the original valve's orientation for your burner position; transfer mounting hardware as needed and tighten all gas connections securely
• After reassembly, restore gas and check every joint for leaks with an approved leak-detection solution; verify proper flame and adjustment

The burner cap is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It is located on the cooktop burner and helps to distribute the gas evenly, allowing for a consistent and controlled flame.

A bad burner cap can occur due to regular use, wear and tear, or accidental damage. If the cap becomes worn, cracked, or clogged, it can lead to issues such as uneven heating, weak flames, or difficulty in igniting the burner.

Symptoms of a bad burner cap include:

• Uneven heating or hot spots on cookware.
• Weak or inconsistent flames.
• Difficulty in igniting the burner.
• Visible damage or debris accumulation on the cap.

If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's time to replace the Cap-Burner with this genuine Whirlpool part for proper heat distribution and reliable ignition for your gas range. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This surface burner cap sits on top of a gas burner head to shape the flame and shield the burner from spills. Replace a missing, chipped, or warped cap to restore even flame, clean combustion, and reliable ignition.

• Shapes and stabilizes the flame for consistent cooking heat

• Match the spud to the exact burner position and fuel type specified in your model documentation
• Thread the spud into the orifice holder/manifold with a wrench; do not overtighten
• Restore gas, then leak-test connections and verify proper flame characteristics

The Gas Range Orifice Holder is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. This component is responsible for securely holding the gas orifice in place to allow proper gas flow to the range burners. 

Causes of a bad orifice holder can include wear and tear over time, damage from impact or shocks, or warping of the holder that prevents it from fully enclosing and retaining the orifice. 

Symptoms of a bad orifice holder include:

• Improper gas flow to one or more burners 
• Burners that will not light or that light unevenly
• Changes in flame color or intensity
• Reduced burner performance

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

This orifice holder channels gas from the valve to the burner on your gas range or cooktop, aligning the orifice for a stable flame. Replace a damaged holder to restore reliable ignition and consistent burner performance.

• Routes gas from the valve to the burner through the orifice
• Positions and supports the burner base for proper flame pattern
• Maintains alignment of components for consistent ignition
• Typical symptoms: burner won't ignite, delayed ignition, weak or uneven flame, visible cracks or stripped threads on the holder

• Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing
• Remove grates, caps, and burner head to access the holder
• Transfer the existing orifice spud and any seals to the new holder; ensure connections are snug and correctly aligned
• After reassembly, restore gas and check all connections for leaks per manufacturer instructions

This LP bake orifice meters propane to the oven's bake burner to deliver the specified BTU output. It helps ensure a stable, blue flame and consistent baking performance after LP conversion or when replacing a damaged or missing spud.
