GE Oval Gas Burner (WB16K10076)

The GE Oval Gas Burner is the heating element on your gas range or dual fuel range that produces the flame used to cook food on the cooktop surface. It works by mixing gas and air, then igniting the mixture to create a steady, even flame across the oval-shaped burner head, making it ideal for griddles, large pans, or oval cookware.

The GE Oval Gas Burner can fail over time due to clogged burner ports from food spills, grease buildup, or debris that blocks the gas flow and disrupts the flame pattern. Corrosion, physical damage to the burner head, or repeated exposure to boilovers can also cause the burner to perform unevenly or stop lighting reliably.

Watch for these symptoms to help determine if your oval gas burner needs to be replaced:

- Burner will not light or is very slow to ignite

- Flame is uneven, weak, or only lights on part of the burner

- Flame lifts off the burner head or blows out easily

- Yellow or orange flame instead of a steady blue flame

- Burner produces a popping or clicking sound while in use

- Visible cracks, chips, or damage on the burner head

- Burner ports appear clogged and cleaning has not resolved the issue
