Whirlpool Cooktop Burner & Related Parts

This orifice spud is the small gas burner fitting that holds the burner orifice and helps direct fuel to the burner for proper ignition. It restores correct gas flow to the burner assembly for reliable ignition and flame. What it does:

• Secures the burner orifice in the burner tube so the correct-sized jet is positioned for ignition
• Helps maintain steady, consistent gas flow to the burner
• Commonly replaced when burners fail to light or flame is weak/irregular
• Works with the burner tube assembly to ensure proper burner operation

• One orifice spud

• Turn off gas supply and unplug appliance before beginning service
• Use correct tools and replace only the part(s) explicitly specified for your model
• Do not overtighten fittings; follow torque guidance from the appliance manufacturer
• If you smell gas or suspect a leak after installation, stop immediately

This orifice meters gas flow to a range or oven burner for consistent, controllable flames. Replacing a damaged or clogged orifice restores proper burner performance and helps maintain safe ignition and cooking. What it does

• Controls the gas flow to a specific burner for the correct flame size and heat output.
• Commonly replaces clogged, corroded, or damaged orifices that cause weak or uneven flames.
• Can resolve symptoms such as burners that won't light reliably, low flame, or irregular flame shape.
• Helps restore stable combustion when the flame is sputtering or lifting from the burner head.

• One gas burner orifice (single piece as shown)

• Turn off the appliance and shut off the gas supply before removing or installing the orifice.
• Use the correct-size wrench; avoid overtightening which can damage the fitting.
• Inspect threads and seat for debris; replace sealing gasket or use approved thread sealant per service manual if specified.

The burner base is the metal burner head that supports the burner cap and directs the cooktop flame. Replacing a damaged burner base helps restore steady ignition and more even heat for everyday cooking. What it does:

• Provides the mounting surface and gas-port pattern for a surface burner and accepts the burner cap.
• Directs the flame for consistent heat across cookware.
• Common symptoms of a failing burner base: uneven or weak flame, burner won't light, visible corrosion or physical damage.
• Can cause repeated ignition attempts or poor heating when cracked, bent, or clogged.

• Turn off electrical power and the gas supply before servicing the range.
• Remove burner grates and caps to access the base; depending on model the base may lift out or be secured with fasteners.
• Inspect the igniter and surrounding components while replacing the base; reassemble and test the burner for proper ignition and flame pattern.

The Valve-Gas is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas cooktops. This valve is located underneath the cooktop and is responsible for controlling the flow of gas to each burner. 

Symptoms of a bad gas valve can include:

• Inability to ignite or adjust certain burner flames
• Gas leaks or smells around the valve area 
• Intermittent or irregular flame levels
• Yellow flames that pose a safety risk

Over time and with heavy usage, components inside the valve can wear down affecting proper gas regulation. 

Compatible models also include KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, and some Kenmore units. 

Includes spark electrode.

The Burner Head is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. This is the smaller burner head and it distributes gas evenly through the ports to produce a focused and consistent flame for temperature control during cooking.

Size: Small

Due to spills, grease buildup, corrosion, or wear and tear, the small burner head can deteriorate, clogging its ports and affecting gas distribution. When this occurs, the burner head may struggle to maintain a steady flame, impacting cooking performance.

Symptoms of a faulty Small Burner Head include:

• Uneven or low flames on the small burner
• Difficulty igniting the burner
• Clogged ports or visible rust/corrosion

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

Orifice spud secures the burner orifice to the gas valve/manifold and directs fuel to the burner for proper flame performance. Replaces a damaged or corroded spud to help restore correct gas flow at the burner. What it does:

• Holds the burner orifice in place and channels gas from the valve to the burner.
• Helps maintain consistent flame size for even heating and cooking.
• Commonly used when a burner has weak, uneven, or intermittent flame performance.
• Replace if the spud is cracked, corroded, damaged, or leaking.

• Turn off the appliance's gas supply and disconnect power before beginning any repairs.
• Remove burner components per the service manual and install the spud in the same orientation as the original.
• Hand-start threads, then snug with the appropriate wrench—do not overtighten.
• After installation, check fittings for leaks with an approved leak-detection method; if you smell gas or suspect a leak, stop.

The LP Conversion Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool cooktops. It allows you to convert your cooktop from natural gas to LP gas, ensuring compatibility with your available fuel source. It includes all the necessary parts and instructions to safely and effectively convert your cooktop.

Causes of needing a conversion kit include:

• Switching from natural gas to LP gas as the fuel source
• Moving to a new location with different gas supply requirements

By using this LP conversion kit, you can enjoy the versatility and convenience of using LP gas on your Whirlpool cooktop.
This Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
 

The LP Cnvrsn-Kit is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool ranges. It allows a range to use liquid propane gas instead of natural gas. The kit includes all necessary components to safely convert the range.

Symptoms of a bad conversion kit include:

• Gas leaks around pipe connections 
• Unable to light burners or ovens due to issues with gas flow
• Changes in flame color or uneven cooking performance

Causes of a bad conversion kit can include damaged or worn-out components that no longer regulate gas pressure properly or provide a secure connection. 

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

This orifice controls the flow of gas to a burner, helping produce the correct flame for safe, consistent cooking and baking. It replaces a worn or damaged gas metering jet to restore proper burner performance. What it does:
