Whirlpool Ultra Black Burner Cap (WPW10183368)

The Whirlpool Ultra Black Burner Cap sits on top of the burner base on your gas range and plays a key role in directing the flame evenly around pots and pans during cooking. It channels and distributes gas flame in a uniform pattern, protecting the burner head below and helping maintain consistent heat across your cookware.

The Whirlpool Ultra Black Burner Cap can crack, warp, or become clogged over time from heat exposure, boilovers, and grease buildup that block the flame ports. A damaged or dirty cap can disrupt the flame pattern, cause ignition problems, or lead to uneven cooking performance on your gas range.

These symptoms may indicate your burner cap needs to be replaced:

- Burner flame is uneven, weak, or only lights on one side

- Burner clicks repeatedly but does not ignite

- Flame is yellow or orange instead of a clean blue

- Burner cap is visibly cracked, chipped, or warped

- Food residue or grease has clogged the flame ports and cannot be cleaned out

- Burner lights but goes out shortly after igniting

- Noticeable drop in heating performance on one burner compared to others
