Whirlpool W11763416 Orifice

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W11763416 is a replacement gas orifice designed for use in Whirlpool gas appliances. The orifice meters the flow of gas into the burner assembly, controlling combustion and ensuring proper flame characteristics during operation. This small but critical component is typically replaced when a burner exhibits uneven flame, improper ignition, or when converting between natural gas and LP gas. Installation is handled by licensed appliance technicians or qualified service professionals familiar with gas-burning systems.

This orifice is intended for use in residential gas appliances where precise gas metering at the burner is required. Typical applications include gas range burners and similar combustion assemblies found in Whirlpool-manufactured appliances. It serves as an OEM-style direct replacement, restoring correct gas flow to the burner when the original orifice is damaged, corroded, or sized incorrectly for the fuel type in use.

Use appropriate fitting tools to avoid damage to the orifice seat or burner threads. Verify the replacement orifice is sized for the correct fuel type before returning the appliance to service.
