W11084065 Whirlpool Cooktop Surface Burner Base

The Cooktop Surface Burner Base is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Whirlpool gas cooktops. It is positioned above the gas valve and plays a crucial role in distributing gas uniformly across the cooktop when in use.

Whirlpool's product line includes several well-known brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

A malfunctioning burner head can result from various issues. Common problems include wear and tear on the gas ports, which can hinder the flow of gas, or damage to the ceramic or metal components, leading to gas leaks.

Indicators of a defective burner head are noticeable and include uneven heating, a yellow flame instead of the standard blue, longer cooking times, and visible burn marks or scorching on cookware.

This specific burner head is also suitable for use with other brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
