Frigidaire 316438401 Sealed Burner 17K Gas Range

Product Description

The Frigidaire 316438401 is a sealed gas burner rated at 17,000 BTU/h, designed as a direct OEM replacement for gas range cooktops. It distributes a regulated mixture of gas and air through burner ports to produce an even flame pattern across the cooking surface. The sealed burner design contains spills at the cooktop level, reducing cleanup and protecting the burner bowl assembly. This component mounts on the cooktop surface above the orifice holder and connects to the ignition and gas supply system. Installation is typically handled by an appliance repair technician or qualified HVAC-plumbing professional familiar with residential gas appliances.

This burner is suited to residential gas ranges and cooktops where the original sealed burner has failed, produces an uneven flame, or shows physical damage. Source data confirms compatibility with appliances sold under the Crosley, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, Westinghouse, Ikea, and Electrolux-manufactured product lines carrying this OEM part number. It is a genuine OEM part produced under the Electrolux manufacturing umbrella, making it a direct fit for the original mounting and gas connection configuration.

Installation Notes

Shut off the gas supply to the appliance and disconnect power before removing the existing burner.

Do not force the burner onto the mounting seat; verify alignment with the orifice and igniter electrode before restoring gas and power.
