Replace it if the original part is cracked, chipped, warped, discolored, missing, or no longer allows a steady, even flame pattern.
Compatibility: Fits select Whirlpool-built gas ranges and cooktops that use this exact burner cap. Confirm fitment by model number because cap size, burner position, and underside locator pattern can vary by model.
Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.
Before ordering: This cap is sold individually. Verify exact model and compare color and footprint to your original cap before ordering.
Is it time to replace?
- Common Symptoms: uneven flame ring, weak heat, delayed ignition, flame lifting, soot buildup, or a cap/head that no longer sits flat.

Pro Tip: Whirlpool black and gray caps can be easy to confuse online. Check both finish and part number before purchasing.
