W11344538 Whirlpool Surface Burner Cap Kit for Ranges and Cooktops

Surface Burner Cap Kit for Ranges and Cooktops.
This kit is compatible with Whirlpool brand appliances, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The burner cap, an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, is designed for use with Whirlpool gas stoves. It sits on top of each burner element, ensuring an even distribution of heat that is well-suited for most types of cookware.

Common signs of a worn-out burner cap include deformation or warping due to high heat exposure. Additionally, mineral deposits can cause discoloration or scaling on the edges of the cap.

Indicators of a defective burner cap are:
- Noticeable warping or distortion
- Accumulation of dirt in areas that are difficult to clean
- Unsteady or uneven flame distribution
- Visible cracks

Replacing the burner cap with this OEM part from Whirlpool can enhance safety and ensure consistent heating. It is advisable to replace the cap as soon as these issues are noticed to prevent further damage to the burner or inefficiencies in performance.

This burner cap is also suitable for certain models of GE and Frigidaire ranges, promoting effective energy use and improving cooking efficiency.
