Whirlpool WP9761639 Surface Burner Orifice Holder for Range

The Whirlpool WP9761639 is a range surface burner orifice holder that plays an important role in the operation of your gas range. This component securely holds the orifice, which is a small nozzle responsible for regulating gas flow to the burner, positioned behind the burner cap. The orifice holder is designed to ensure that gas reaches the burner in a controlled manner. It can be compared to a small metal cup that accommodates a straw, facilitating the correct delivery of gas to the burner. A properly functioning orifice holder contributes to a consistent flame for cooking. Issues such as uneven flames, gas leaks, or difficulty in igniting the burner may indicate a malfunctioning or damaged orifice holder, which could present safety concerns.
