This burner cap is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for use with Frigidaire gas cooktop ranges, and is also compatible with certain Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore models.

Common issues with burner caps include warping or discoloration due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures and direct flames. Physical damage, such as impacts, can also cause the edges of the burner cap to crack or chip.

If you notice any of the following, it might be time to replace the burner cap:
- Flames that are uneven or irregular under pots and pans
- Flames that appear yellow or blue, which suggest incomplete combustion
- Cracked or damaged porcelain on the burner base
- Decreased efficiency in heating and uneven heat distribution

Replacing a defective burner cap can help restore the proper function and efficiency of your stove’s burner.
