4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18041901
Manufacturer Part Number: WP9757218

This surface burner valve regulates gas flow to a top burner on your gas range or cooktop. The simmer version enhances low-heat control so the flame adjusts smoothly from a steady simmer to a full boil. What it does:

  • Regulates gas to the surface burner as you turn the knob, controlling flame size
  • Simmer variant improves stable low-flame performance at lower settings
  • Common failure symptoms: burner won't light though the igniter sparks, flame won't adjust or stays at one level
  • Knob feels stiff/binds or the stem no longer aligns correctly with settings
What's included:
  • 1 surface burner valve
Install notes:
  • Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
  • Remove the control knob and access the valve/manifold from the control panel or cooktop top
  • Note the original valve's orientation for your burner position; transfer mounting hardware as needed and tighten all gas connections securely
  • After reassembly, restore gas and check every joint for leaks with an approved leak-detection solution; verify proper flame and adjustment
