The Whirlpool WPW10185023 Range Spud Orifice has become a significant but minor component of your Whirlpool gas range. It's a properly sized fitting that controls the supply of natural gas to a specific burner on your stove. The orifice screws into the gas line and contains a tiny opening that controls the quantity of gas that goes through. This controlled flow ensures safety and effective burner operation. The orifice controls gas volume, enabling you to achieve the ideal heat level when cooking. A damaged or broken orifice may disrupt gas flow, which leads to uneven flames, weak burners, as well as safety hazards. Replacing an incorrect orifice with the original WPW10185023 part maintains your range operating securely and delivers the dependable burner efficiency you expect from Whirlpool.
