Whirlpool Corporation Range Surface burner cap / external burner cap (cap-top), matte black WP8285258, Replaces 8285258, 73001338

Genuine Whirlpool OEM external surface-burner cap. It sits on top of the burner head, helps protect the burner head from spills, and distributes the gas flame for even heating. Sources identify the finish as matte black.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Single surface burner fails to light
• Uneven, yellow, noisy, or irregular flame
• Flame too high or too low due to improper cap seating
• Burner cap rocks, wobbles, or does not sit flush
• Poor ignition after a spill or cleaning

Check Before Replacing

• With the burner and surrounding surface cool, verify that the cap is installed on the correct burner base and sits flush with minimal side-to-side movement.
• Inspect the cap and burner area for spills, residue, moisture, visible warping, cracks, or damage.
• After cleaning, allow the cap to dry completely before reinstalling it.
• If the cap is suspected to be warped, place it painted-side down on a flat surface and check whether it contacts the surface evenly; do not use a damaged or warped cap.
• If the burner still fails to light or has abnormal flames after safe cap positioning and cleaning, turn it off and arrange qualified service rather than attempting gas-system repairs.
