With no model list on file, compare the diameter of your old cap, or send your model number through the parts enquiry form.

Is your medium burner flame uneven?

A burner cap closes off the top of the burner and directs gas out through the ports in an even ring. Black caps chip from being knocked or dropped, and harsh cleaners can wear the surface. If the cap is warped or chipped at the edge, the flame becomes uneven, lifts or burns yellow, and the burner can be harder to ignite. A cap that doesn't sit properly can also leave a gap where food and spills drop into the burner. Swapping the cap is quick and often fixes the flame straight away.

Swapping the cap

Let the cooktop cool fully, then lift the old cap away. Brush any debris from the burner crown and ports, and make sure everything is dry. Lower the new cap onto the crown, turning it gently until it drops into position and sits level. Light the burner and look for an even blue flame. If it stays patchy, ask a licensed gas fitter to check the injector.
