Parts for Kitchenaid KCGS550ESS05: Burner Box, Gas Valves And Switch Parts

This gas valve assembly controls the flow of gas to the appliance, restoring safe and consistent fuel delivery for proper burner or oven operation. Replacing a faulty valve fixes ignition and gas-flow issues and helps the appliance run correctly. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to burners or the oven burner so the appliance can light and maintain a flame
• Works with the ignition system and safety controls to open and close fuel delivery
• Common symptom: burners or oven won't light, or flame won't stay lit
• Can cause uneven heating or failure to heat when the valve fails

• Turn off gas supply and electrical power before starting any repair
• Check for gas leaks after installation; use a soap solution or approved gas-leak detector
• Tighten fittings to manufacturer torque and follow OEM wiring/installation instructions

This gas valve controls the flow of gas to the burner assembly so the appliance lights and maintains a steady flame. Replaces a failed valve to restore reliable ignition and heating performance. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner so the appliance can ignite and maintain a stable flame
• Works with the ignition system to open and close gas supply during cycles
• Commonly replaced when burners won't light or oven/burner flame is weak or intermittent
• Can prevent continuous gas flow when functioning properly

• Turn off electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• After installation, check all gas connections for leaks and verify proper operation
• Follow all local codes and manufacturer service literature when working on gas components

The Burner Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas cooktops. It controls the flow of gas to each burner element, regulating both the pilot light and burner flame. Made of metal, it features a precision valve design to open and close gas lines safely.

Causes can be grime or debris buildup from years of use, impact damage, or natural wear of internal components.

Problems with faulty burner valves consist of: 

• Inability to light or adjust burner flames  
• Gas leaks from weakened valve seals
• Potential safety hazards from unreliable burner control

This OEM replacement part is compatible with additional brands including Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and select Kenmore designs.

This gas valve controls fuel flow to a range or oven burner, restoring reliable ignition and steady flame for safe cooking. It replaces a faulty valve to stop gas leaks, no ignition, or inconsistent burner heat. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the oven or cooktop burner for proper ignition and flame control
• Stops or reduces gas flow if the valve fails, helping address gas smell or a burner that won't stay lit
• Prevents inconsistent heating caused by a malfunctioning control valve
• Works as the primary shutoff/control component between the appliance and main gas supply

• Turn off the gas supply and power to the appliance before starting; follow local codes for gas work
• Use approved fittings and a gas-rated thread sealant where required; check for leaks after installation with a soap solution
• Verify correct valve orientation and secure mounting to avoid strain on gas lines

This gas pressure regulator controls and stabilizes incoming fuel supply to the appliance's burner system, helping ensure consistent flames and reliable operation. Replace it if pressure is unstable or burners/oven won't heat or ignite correctly. What it does:

• Reduces household gas supply to the appliance-rated pressure for proper burner performance
• Maintains steady pressure as burner demand changes to prevent over/under-firing
• Helps prevent yellow, lifting, or flickering flames and sooting caused by pressure issues

• 1 gas pressure regulator

• Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing
• Observe flow-direction arrow on the regulator body; install between supply and appliance manifold
• Use approved gas-rated thread sealant on threaded connections; do not overtighten
• After installation, check all joints for leaks with a non-corrosive leak-detection solution; correct any leaks before use

This spark module supplies the high-voltage pulses that ignite the surface burners on a gas cooktop or range. Replacing a failing module helps restore consistent clicking and spark so burners light promptly and reliably.

• Supplies high-voltage to up to five surface igniters (5+0 configuration)
• Sends spark when a burner control is turned to Lite
• Failure symptoms can include no spark on all or multiple burners
• May also cause intermittent/weak spark or continuous clicking

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Note wire locations; move one connector at a time to matching terminals
• Mount securely in the original position and ensure proper grounding
• After replacement, if only one burner won't ignite, inspect that burner's switch and igniter

This mounting bracket secures internal components or assemblies to the appliance chassis, keeping parts aligned and stable for reliable operation. Replace a broken or bent bracket to stop shifting parts and restore proper fit. What it does:

• Secures and supports internal components or assemblies to the appliance frame
• Keeps panels and control assemblies aligned to prevent rubbing or misalignment
• Stops rattling or movement caused by a damaged or missing bracket
• Maintains proper positioning for connected parts and wiring

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) typically required
• Keep existing fasteners if they are undamaged; replace stripped or missing screws

This replacement screw secures appliance panels and components so they stay tight and aligned during use. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a solid fit and helps eliminate rattles, loose trim, or shifting parts.

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or components to the appliance chassis
• Helps correct loose or missing hardware after vibration or service
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or broken screws
• Can reduce rattling noises or misaligned parts caused by missing fasteners

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
• Support the part being fastened; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver size; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Replace hardware with the exact part number to ensure proper fit

This replacement griddle provides a flat cooking surface for stovetop and range use, restoring even contact for pancakes, bacon, and grilled sandwiches. Designed to match OEM fit and finish for direct replacement. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or damaged range griddle to restore a flat, stable cooking surface
• Enables even heating contact for griddled foods like pancakes and sandwiches
• Helps eliminate hotspots or warped cooking surface symptoms
• Returns proper alignment with the cooktop for safe, stable use

• One replacement griddle

• Remove power to the appliance and allow all surfaces to cool before handling
• Handle with care to avoid scratching the cooking surface; use proper lifting points
• Follow your model's service manual for removal and reinstallation steps
