Cooktop burner parts restore heat output, flame quality, and burner response on gas, electric, radiant, and induction cooking surfaces. At GenuineReplacementParts, you can find burner caps, burner heads, coil elements, radiant elements, induction coils, spark igniters, terminal blocks, and related burner hardware by matching your model number.
If a single burner is not lighting, not heating, or heating unevenly, start with the parts directly around that cooking zone before replacing the entire cooktop. A burner repair may also lead you to related parts such as control knobs, cooktop gas pipes, gas valves, terminal blocks, or cooktop glass if the surface or mounting points are damaged.
Which Cooktop Burner Part Do You Need?
The correct burner part depends on the fuel type and burner design. Gas cooktops use burner caps, burner heads, igniters, valves, orifices, and burner tubes. Electric coil cooktops use plug-in coil elements and receptacle blocks. Radiant cooktops use hidden heating elements and limiters under a glass surface. Induction cooktops use induction coils, sensors, fan assemblies, and control electronics.

Common Problems, Parts, and Solutions

Likely part involved
|
Practical solution
|
|
Gas burner clicks but does not light
|
Burner cap, burner head, spark igniter, electrode, or ignition switch.
|
Remove the grate and burner cap, clean blocked ports, dry the igniter area, and confirm the cap is centered. Replace the igniter or switch if the spark stays weak after cleaning.
|
|
Burner flame is uneven or yellow
|
Burner cap, burner head, or gas pipe and burner tube.
|
Clean food and grease from burner ports. If the cap is cracked or warped, replace it. If gas flow is inconsistent across burners, inspect tubing, valve, and regulator parts.
|
|
Electric burner does not heat
|
Coil element, terminal block, receptacle, infinite switch, or wiring harness.
|
Swap only if the element matches the model. If a known-good element also fails, inspect the terminal block and switch before ordering more burner parts.
|
|
Radiant element only heats on one side
|
Radiant element, limiter, switch, or related cooktop glass mounting area.
|
Disconnect power, inspect the underside of the glass for heat damage, then replace the element or limiter that matches the burner zone.
|
|
Burner works only on high heat
|
Infinite switch, cooktop valve, or control board depending on burner type.
|
Check whether the knob shaft and control are moving correctly. If the burner ignores low settings, the switch or valve may need replacement.

Burner Parts and Related Components to Inspect Together
Burner repairs are often connected to surrounding parts. When replacing a burner head, also inspect the burner cap, igniter tip, orifice, grate, and control knob for wear. When replacing an electric element, inspect the terminal block, indicator light, and wiring connector. When replacing a radiant element, check the glass support clips and seal because the heating element sits directly below the surface.

Why it matters
|
|
Burner cap or burner head
|
Cooktop knob, spark igniter, grate, and gas valve
|
A worn knob or valve can make a new burner seem faulty if gas flow is still not controlled correctly.
|
|
Spark igniter
|
Ignition switch, wire harness, burner head, and cap alignment
|
A wet, dirty, or misaligned burner area can mimic igniter failure.
|
|
Coil element
|
Terminal block, drip pan, and infinite switch
|
A burned receptacle can damage a new coil element quickly.
|
|
Radiant element
|
Cooktop glass, limiter, clips, and insulation pads
|
Element placement must align with the glass markings and support points.
|
|
Gas valve or orifice
|
Cooktop pipe, regulator, and burner tube
|
Gas-control repairs need correct flow and leak-safe connections.

Installation and Safety Notes
Disconnect power before replacing any burner part, even on a gas cooktop with electric ignition. For gas burner parts, shut off the gas supply before removing internal tubing, valves, or regulators. Do not force mismatched burner caps, burner heads, or coil elements into place because improper fit can cause weak heating, poor ignition, or unsafe operation.
For visible parts like burner caps, grates, and some coil elements, replacement is usually simple. For internal gas valves, burner tubes, radiant elements under glass, or induction components, use the appliance service diagram and consider technician support if wiring, gas supply, or glass removal is involved.
How to Order the Right Part from GenuineReplacementParts
Start with the exact model number, then search the part name, symptom, or existing part number on GenuineReplacementParts. Once the matching product appears, compare the product image, connector style, dimensions, and compatibility notes before ordering. This is especially important for gas parts, glass tops, surface elements, and electronic controls because small model differences can change the fit.
If you are replacing more than one part, inspect related wear points during the same repair. For example, a loose control knob may point to a worn shaft, a weak burner flame may involve the burner head and gas tube, and a cracked glass top may require new clips, pads, or seals before the appliance is put back into use.
