Whirlpool Range Surface Burner Cap (WPW10183370)

The Whirlpool Range Surface Burner Cap sits on top of the burner base and helps distribute the flame evenly across the bottom of your cookware. It channels the gas flame outward in a uniform pattern, protecting the burner assembly underneath and ensuring efficient, consistent heat during cooking.

The Whirlpool Range Surface Burner Cap can become damaged or worn from everyday cooking exposure, including high heat, boilover spills, and repeated cleaning. Grease and food buildup can clog or warp the cap over time, and physical damage from dropping or scrubbing can prevent it from sitting flush and sealing correctly against the burner base.

These symptoms can help you decide if a burner cap issue matches your problem:

- Flame burns unevenly or only on one side of the burner

- Burner takes longer than normal to ignite or fails to light

- Clicking or sparking continues after the burner is already lit

- Visible cracks, chips, or warping on the cap surface

- Flame lifts off or blows out easily during use

- Yellow or orange flame instead of a steady blue flame

- Burner cap does not sit flat or rocks on the burner base
