The Whirlpool WP74007691 Range Holder Orifice is a tiny but essential component within your Whirlpool gas range. It's a perfectly regulated device, typically formed of metal, that controls the gas flow to your burner. This orifice, located at the base of the burner head, controls the quantity of gas that combines with air to form the flame. A properly sized aperture provides efficient gas flow, which leads to peak burner performance and steady heat production.Consider a tiny gatekeeper who carefully controls the flow of gas. This is essentially what the orifice accomplishes. When the gas valve opens, the orifice restricts the gas to a set amount, allowing it to mix with the incoming air in the right proportion.
