Orifice Holder for Range, Stove, or Cooktop.
Whirlpool provides this original equipment manufacturer (OEM) orifice holder, compatible with a variety of brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool supplies parts for appliances marketed under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea labels. This specific component manages gas flow to the cooktop's surface burners, ensuring both safe and effective ignition and heat regulation. It is installed beneath the burner assembly and connects to the gas supply line, containing a small aperture—the orifice—that precisely modulates the gas flow to the burners.
This orifice holder replacement is also applicable for appliances by Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
Replacing the orifice holder effectively addresses:
- Inconsistent or variable burner flames
- Problems with burner ignition or delayed ignition
- Detection of gas odor during usage
- Challenges in adjusting burner flame levels
