Frigidaire 808851601 Outer Simmer Burner Cap

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 808851601 is a genuine OEM outer simmer surface burner cap designed for gas range, stove, and oven cooktops. The cap mounts on top of the corresponding burner head, seating around the burner opening and aligning flush with the surrounding cooktop surface. When gas reaches the burner and ignites, the cap directs the flame pattern around its outer edge, supporting even heat distribution and controlled heat transfer to cookware. It maintains the intended burner configuration for the simmer function, which is designed to deliver lower heat output for precise, low-temperature cooking. Licensed technicians and qualified appliance repair pros handle this replacement.

This burner cap is used on residential gas ranges and stoves where the outer simmer burner cap has cracked, chipped, or become damaged enough to disrupt flame distribution or burner seating. Proper cap fit is critical to maintaining consistent flame pattern and preventing incomplete combustion or uneven heating. Compatible brands for this part include Frigidaire and Kenmore. It is a direct OEM replacement, not an aftermarket substitute.

Installation Notes

Appliance repair technicians or qualified service pros typically handle burner cap replacements on gas cooktops. Shut off the gas supply and disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service. The burner cap is a drop-in fit that requires no tools for installation, but confirm the cooktop has cooled completely before handling. Ensure the cap seats fully and evenly on the burner head before returning the appliance to service.
