WPW10406797 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range Burner Head

Whirlpool WPW10406797 Range Burner Head – Genuine OEM Replacement Part

The Whirlpool WPW10406797 Range Burner Head is a genuine OEM gas burner component designed to deliver precise, even flame output for efficient cooking performance. Sold by Appliance Kingdom, this authentic Whirlpool burner head ensures the correct fit and reliable operation for select Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and other affiliated-brand gas ranges. If your gas cooktop is no longer heating evenly or you notice irregular flame patterns, replacing the burner head is often the most effective solution.

Function & Importance

The burner head is responsible for distributing gas evenly through properly aligned ports to create a balanced, controlled flame. This ensures pots and pans are heated uniformly and helps maintain safe combustion. A worn, clogged, or damaged burner head can lead to weak flames, uneven heating, ignition issues, or excessive yellowing of the flame — all of which compromise cooking quality and safety.

A fully functional gas range burner head also helps maintain fuel efficiency, preventing gas waste and reducing the risk of incomplete combustion.

Symptoms That Indicate the Burner Head Needs Replacement

Replace the WPW10406797 burner head if you observe:

• Uneven flame or flames only appearing on one side

• Weak, low, or inconsistent burner flame output

• Yellow or orange flames instead of a steady blue

• Difficulty igniting the burner

• Sparking but no flame

• Burner ports that are corroded, clogged, or damaged

• Visible discoloration, warping, or cracks

These symptoms indicate that the range burner head may no longer be distributing gas properly and needs to be replaced to restore safe and efficient operation.
