W11344539 Whirlpool Surface Burner Base

The Surface Burner Base is a component found in Whirlpool gas ranges. Whirlpool's brand portfolio includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products compatible with Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Burner Head, a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, is positioned atop the burner base to distribute gas uniformly, allowing for effective and consistent flame production. This component is critical for maintaining proper heat distribution and flame stability during cooking and is built to endure high temperatures and frequent usage.

Issues with the burner head, such as clogs, corrosion, or physical damage to the burner ports, can impair its function. Signs that may indicate a malfunctioning burner head include uneven or weak flames, difficulty igniting the burner, or observing a yellow or orange flame rather than a steady blue one. These symptoms suggest that the burner head may need to be replaced to ensure optimal performance.

If you experience any of these issues, consider replacing the faulty burner head with a genuine OEM part from Whirlpool. This part is also compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore, ensuring a broad range of applicability across different models.
