Brass seals play a vital role in maintaining the safety and functionality of your range or cooktop by preventing gas leaks. This particular seal, measuring approximately one inch in diameter, acts as a barrier between the surface burner orifice holder and the burner head. Should your existing seal show signs of wear or be absent, prompt replacement is necessary to ensure a secure cooking environment.
Manufactured by Whirlpool, this component is designed for compatibility with multiple appliance brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. It is also suitable for use in products produced for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
