Whirlpool W10907868 Cooktop Gas Orifice 10000 Btu/h

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W10907868 is a gas burner orifice designed for use in Whirlpool cooktop assemblies. The orifice controls the flow of gas to a burner, metering the fuel-air mixture that determines flame output. This part is rated at 10,000 BTU/h and carries a 1.43 orifice designation, indicating the precise bore size calibrated for that heat output. It is a direct replacement component installed by licensed gas appliance technicians or qualified service professionals during burner maintenance or repair.

This orifice is used in residential gas cooktop applications where a burner is producing an incorrect flame pattern, flooding, or failing to light due to a damaged or incorrect orifice. It is suited for medium-output burner positions rated at 10,000 BTU/h. Technicians replacing burner components during a cooktop service call will encounter this part in the burner head assembly beneath the cap and crown.
