KitchenAid Gas Range Surface Burner Head Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your KitchenAid gas range burner won't light evenly, or maybe the flame pattern looks weak and sputtering on one side. The surface burner head is often the culprit — food debris, corrosion, or simple wear can clog the burner ports and create uneven heating. This hub covers W10256028 burner head compatibility across KitchenAid gas range models, particularly the KSGG700 and KSGB900 series.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number on the label inside the oven door or along the front frame when you open the door. Cross-reference it with the compatibility list below. The W10256028 fits multiple KitchenAid series including KSGG700ESS, KSGB900ESS, and KSDB900ESS variants. If your model number matches, you're looking at the right replacement.

About This Replacement Part

The W10256028 surface burner head (also sold as WPW10256028, AP6017962, or PS11751263) is the cast component that sits on top of your burner base and distributes gas evenly through multiple flame ports. KitchenAid engineers this part for specific BTU outputs and flame spread patterns — using the wrong burner head can create hot spots or incomplete combustion. This particular head serves as a direct factory replacement for models in the KSGG, KSGB, and KSDB series, maintaining the precise port alignment your range was designed around.

Compatible KitchenAid Models

This burner head fits 20+ KitchenAid gas range models. Here's the breakdown by series:

• KSGG700 Series: KSGG700ESS0, KSGG700ESS1, KSGG700EBL0, KSGG700EBL1, KSGG700EWH0, KSGG700EWH1
• KSGB900 Series: KSGB900ESS0, KSGB900ESS1, KSGB900ESS2, KSGB900ESS3, KSGB900EBL0, KSGB900EWH0
• KSDB900 Series: KSDB900ESS0 and related variants

Always verify your exact model number before ordering. Surface burner heads aren't universal across all KitchenAid ranges — different series use different head designs based on burner output and cooktop layout.

Why This Part Fails

Burner heads take constant thermal cycling and exposure to spills. Boil-overs create carbon buildup in the flame ports, which restricts gas flow and creates yellow-tipped flames or uneven heating. Some heads develop hairline cracks from repeated heating and cooling cycles, especially if you regularly use high-heat cooking. Aluminum and brass burner heads can also corrode over time from acidic foods or cleaning chemicals, creating pitting that disrupts the flame pattern.

Installation Overview

You don't need special tools. Lift off the burner grate, remove the burner cap (the top piece), and the old burner head lifts straight up off the burner base. The new head drops into place — just make sure the alignment tab or notch seats properly so gas flows through the correct ports. Replace the cap and grate, then test with a match or lighter to verify even flame distribution around the entire burner ring.

Related KitchenAid Range Parts

If you're replacing the burner head, check the burner cap for cracks or warping — caps and heads often wear at similar rates. You might also need the burner base (the piece underneath) if you're seeing gas leaks or the head won't seat flush. Igniter electrodes can wear out too, causing slow or inconsistent lighting even with a new burner head.

Order Your Replacement Burner Head

The W10256028 ships as a single burner head. Measure your existing head diameter before ordering if you have multiple burner sizes on your cooktop — KitchenAid ranges often use different head sizes for different burner positions. Standard shipping gets this part to you in 3-5 business days, and it's a straightforward swap you can do yourself in under 10 minutes.
