W11579391 Whirlpool Surface Burner Cap

The Surface Burner Cap is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for use with Whirlpool cooktops. This component, which makes direct contact with cookware, is essential for efficient heat transfer during cooking. Over time, the burner caps can develop scratches and pits from regular use, leading to diminished heat conduction and metal degradation.

When burner caps are faulty, several issues may arise, including slower cooking times and increased likelihood of scorching or burning due to poor contact between the cap and the cookware. Additionally, the aesthetic quality of the caps may decline, showing signs of discoloration and wear.

Whirlpool, a brand known for its range of home appliances, also produces this part for other brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore cooktop models. This ensures a wide compatibility across different appliance models. Whirlpool also manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea, further broadening its market reach.
