W11199023 Whirlpool Surface Burner Valve

The Surface Burner Valve is a key component in Whirlpool gas cooktops and is responsible for managing the gas flow to the burners. This includes adjusting both the pilot light and the main burner flame. Constructed from durable metal, the valve ensures precise control and safe operation by effectively opening and closing the gas lines.

Over time, issues such as accumulation of dirt or debris, physical damage, or general wear and tear of internal parts can affect the functionality of the burner valve. Common problems that may arise include difficulty in lighting or adjusting the flames, gas leaks due to compromised valve seals, and inconsistent burner performance which can pose safety risks.

This replacement part is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) item and is also compatible with several other brands like Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, and Admiral, as well as certain Kenmore models. Brands under the Whirlpool umbrella include Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
