Burner grates are genuine OEM components designed for Whirlpool ranges, also fitting brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool extends production for similar parts to Sears-Kenmore and Ikea collections. Positioning directly over the gas burner, the grate supports cookware securely during cooking. Constructed for resilience, it resists warping and prevents uneven heat distribution that might interfere with cooking efficiency.
Burner grates often deteriorate due to normal wear from extended use, accidental impacts with cookware, or long-term thermal stress.
Signs of a faulty burner grate include:
- Bent or missing support wires or bars
- Excessive scorching or burnt residue accumulation
- Difficulty in keeping pots and pans stable and properly aligned
- Warped edges around the burner openings
This component is compatible with select Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and certain Kenmore range models.
