Whirlpool WPW10170508 Range Surface Burner Orifice

The Whirlpool WPW10170508 is a vital component that regulates gas flow in a Whirlpool range's surface burner. This small, often brass orifice fits into the burner valve and governs the quantity of gas that reaches the burner, consequently determining flame size and the generation of heat. A properly sized orifice enables your burner to operate safely and efficiently. If your range ignites but the flame looks weak or sluggish, a clogged or wrong orifice could be the reason for this. Replacing a malfunctioning orifice with the appropriate WPW10170508 kind for your range restores optimal gas flow, which leads to consistent heat distribution and greatest cooking performance. It's worth noting that this aperture has been designed for natural gas ranges.
