WP74007961 Whirlpool Surface Burner Orifice Holder for Range/Stove/Oven

Surface Burner Orifice Holder for Range/Stove/Oven.

The mounting screws for this item are available for purchase separately. This Orifice Holder is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool gas ranges and includes both the spark electrode and the 9.2k orifice. These components are crucial for the ignition and control of gas flow within the burner assembly.

The spark electrode plays a key role in producing the spark that ignites the gas, enabling the burner to light and generate a flame. Meanwhile, the 9.2k orifice is instrumental in regulating the gas flow to the burner, maintaining the appropriate gas-to-air mix for effective and secure combustion.

Common reasons for malfunctions in the orifice holder include general wear and tear, corrosion, debris damage, or incorrect adjustment.

Signs that the orifice holder may be failing include:

- Inconsistent or absent ignition spark
- Irregular or feeble flame
- Challenges in flame adjustment
- Noticeable gas smell or leaks

This genuine Whirlpool part is also compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
