Customer Questions and Answers for Gas Valve by Whirlpool

This genuine replacement part is a gas valve for stoves. The gas valve is the part that attaches to the burners allowing for gas to flow through, creating the necessary conditions for the stove to produce a flame. If the stove is no longer sparking a flame, or the burners are not working properly, the gas valve of the stove will need to be replaced. Luckily, this is a relatively simple repair.To get started, make sure that the stove is unplugged. After that, remove the grates, burner caps, and burner bases from the stove. Then proceed to remove the control knobs from the stove. Using a screwdriver, remove the screws securing the orifice holders to the main top. Once removed, lift off the top panel of the stove. Lift the seal from the valve stem and detach the spark switch. Proceed to remove the tubing from the valve. After that, use a socket or nutdriver to unthread the screw to release the valve bracket from the manifold. Once this is complete, detach the old gas valve. Install the new valve by positioning it on the gas tubing and manifold. Thread the nut to reconnect the gas tubing to the valve. Proceed to reinstall the top panel of the stove. This OEM part is sold individually and is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper brand stoves.
