Semi-rapid burner cap cracked, warped or missing?

Each burner on a gas cooktop is a stack of parts. The base and crown carry the gas, and the cap closes the top so the flame forms around the outside. On the semi-rapid burner, a cap that has been dropped, overheated or scrubbed back to bare metal may no longer sit true. The result is a ragged or yellow flame, soot on the bottom of pans, a burner that takes several clicks to light, or a flame that goes out on a low setting. Rust spots on a cap usually mean the enamel has broken through.

Fitting the semi-rapid cap

Check the knob is off and the burner is cool. Remove the pan support, lift off the old cap and clean the crown ports with a dry brush, making sure everything is dry before reassembly. Drop the new cap into place and turn it gently until it settles flat. Light the burner on high and on low to make sure the flame burns evenly. A gas smell or a faulty valve is a job for a licensed gas fitter.

Questions about this part
