Whirlpool WB17X210 Burner Receptacle Kit

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WB17X210 is a burner receptacle kit designed to restore electrical connections at the burner terminals on gas or electric range cooktops. The receptacle provides the interface between the burner element and the supply wiring, and failure of this component typically results in one or more burners not heating or not responding to the control. This is an OEM-specification replacement part intended for installation by appliance service technicians or qualified trade professionals performing cooktop or range repairs.

This burner receptacle kit is suited for residential range and cooktop service where the original receptacle has developed burned contacts, cracked insulation, or loose terminal connections due to heat cycling and normal service wear. It is designed to restore original burner function without modification to existing wiring or burner hardware. Technicians replacing a failed surface burner receptacle on a compatible Whirlpool-platform range will find this kit provides a direct-fit installation path.

Key Features

• OEM-specification replacement restores original burner terminal connection
• Addresses burned contacts, cracked insulation, and loose terminals caused by heat cycling
• Designed for direct-fit installation without wiring modification
• Manufactured to match original part dimensions and terminal configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement burner receptacle kit for compatible Whirlpool-platform residential range and cooktop models. Verify fitment against the appliance model number before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Before servicing, disconnect the range or cooktop from its power source by unplugging the unit or switching off the dedicated circuit breaker. For gas ranges, shut off the gas supply valve before removing burner components. Avoid handling terminals with bare hands after installation, as skin oils can accelerate contact degradation under heat.
