Customer Questions and Answers for Valve Control Assembly (Surface Burner) by Ge

This valve control assembly regulates gas flow to a single surface burner as you turn the knob, enabling smooth flame adjustment and reliable shutoff on gas ranges and cooktops when the original valve is worn or sticking. What it does:

• Meters gas to the surface burner in response to knob position
• Helps ensure consistent ignition and a stable flame across settings
• Restores precise simmer-to-boil control
• Typical symptoms: burner won't light, flame won't adjust or goes out on low, knob is hard to turn or won't shut off cleanly

• One valve control assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool; remove the knob and access panel/cooktop to reach the manifold
• Note valve orientation; transfer the existing orifice hood and/or spark switch if equipped
• After reassembly, check all connections with an approved leak-detection solution before restoring service
