Whirlpool Range / Cooktop / Oven Baffle Parts

This burner baffle sits under the cooktop burner to direct heat and protect surrounding components, helping maintain even flame distribution and preventing debris from falling into the burner area. What it does:

• Shields the area under the burner from spills, grease and food debris.
• Helps route heat and combustion gases away from sensitive components.
• Supports stable burner operation and consistent heating performance.
• Commonly replaced when warped, corroded or damaged by spills.

• Turn off gas and power to the appliance before servicing; follow all safety precautions.
• Remove burner grates and caps to access the baffle; use basic hand tools.
• Inspect surrounding components (burner head, igniter) while the baffle is removed.

This oven burner baffle is a metal heat shield that directs heat and protects the oven floor and internal components for reliable cooking performance. It helps maintain even heating and keeps burner flames contained away from oven panels. What it does:

• Shields oven bottom and internal components from direct flame and high heat
• Helps stabilize burner flames for more consistent cooking and baking
• Prevents heat-related damage to oven floor and nearby parts
• Reduces hotspots that can cause uneven baking or browning

• One oven burner baffle

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing;
• Handle carefully—edges may be sharp; wear gloves and eye protection
• Ensure the baffle is seated and secured per the oven's parts diagram to avoid rattling or interference with the burner

This burner baffle directs heat and flame away from sensitive components to help maintain even cooking and protect the range's internal parts. It's a direct-replacement trim piece used on compatible gas ranges and cooktops. What it does:

• Shields and redirects burner flame to reduce hot spots and protect nearby components
• Helps maintain more consistent surface temperatures during use
• Prevents flame impingement on adjacent parts that can cause discoloration or premature wear
• Supports proper burner operation by holding components in correct alignment

• One burner baffle

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before starting work; allow all components to cool
• Basic hand tools are typically required; handle the baffle carefully to avoid bending or scratching
• Verify correct fit and orientation from the parts diagram before final reassembly

This heat deflector routes hot air inside the dryer cabinet to ensure proper airflow and heating performance. It helps maintain even drying and prevents hot spots that can reduce drying efficiency. What it does:

• Directs and channels heated air to the drum and exhaust pathways
• Helps maintain even drying and consistent heat distribution
• Can prevent localized overheating or restricted airflow when damaged
• Commonly replaced when dryer has uneven drying or internal airflow obstructions

• Disconnect power (unplug electric or shut off gas and unplug) before starting any repair
• Typically mounted with screws; basic hand tools (screwdriver/socket) are usually required
• Inspect surrounding seals and ducts for damage while replacing the deflector
• Handle carefully—edges may be sharp and panels can be fragile
