Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Affected burner will not ignite even though the igniter operates and other burners work.
• Burner flame cannot be adjusted correctly or remains abnormally low/high.
• Valve stem or burner control feels seized, stiff, or does not turn normally.
• Gas odor is present near the range; stop using the appliance and shut off the gas supply if this occurs.

Check Before Replacing

• With the appliance cool, compare the affected burner with a working burner: check whether the knob turns the valve stem normally and whether the igniter produces a spark.
• Confirm that the burner cap and burner head are correctly seated and clean before attributing the issue to the valve.
• If only one burner is affected while other burners operate normally, document the affected burner position and compare its valve part number, orientation, and BTU rating with the replacement.
• Do not use a flame to check for leaks. If gas odor is detected, stop testing, shut off the appliance gas supply if safe, ventilate the area, and contact a qualified gas-appliance technician.
