Whirlpool WPW10155785 Range Burner Orifice Holder
Product Description
The Whirlpool WPW10155785 is an essential component for your gas range's surface burners. It's a small metal holder that securely encases the orifice, a tiny nozzle that regulates the flow of gas into the burner. The orifice holder screws into the burner base and keeps the orifice at a specific distance from the burner head. This allows for a safe and efficient gas flow. When you turn on the burner knob, gas flows through the valve and into the orifice holder. The orifice restricts gas flow, generating pressure and forcing the gas out in a regulated stream. This compressed gas mixes with air before igniting at the burner head, producing the cooking flame.A properly functioning orifice holder is crucial for safety.
