Frigidaire 316261700 Surface Burner Cap

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 316261700 is an OEM surface burner cap designed for use on Frigidaire gas cooktops and ranges. The burner cap sits directly on top of the burner base and plays a critical role in distributing the gas flame evenly across the cooking surface. Proper seating of the burner cap affects flame pattern, combustion efficiency, and safety. This is a factory-replacement part, meaning it matches the original component in material, profile, and fit. Appliance technicians and experienced service professionals typically handle this replacement as part of burner maintenance or after-cleaning reassembly.

This burner cap is suited for residential gas cooking appliances manufactured under the Frigidaire brand. It is commonly replaced when the original cap becomes warped, cracked, or corroded due to heat cycling and spill exposure. If the burner flame is uneven or the cap no longer seats flush on the burner base, replacement with the correct OEM part restores proper operation. Verify the full model number of the appliance before ordering to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Always shut off the gas supply and allow the cooktop to cool completely before servicing any burner components. This part is typically installed by appliance service technicians familiar with gas cooking appliances. No tools are generally required to seat the burner cap, but the burner base and ports should be inspected and cleared of debris before placing the new cap. Ensure the cap is fully and evenly seated before restoring gas supply and test-firing the burner.
