Description

This safety valve controls gas flow to the burner assembly, providing reliable shutoff to help prevent gas buildup and enable proper ignition. Fits as the direct replacement gas control valve for affected gas ranges and ovens. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner so the oven or range can ignite and maintain heat.
• Shuts off gas when the valve detects unsafe conditions to reduce risk of gas leaks.
• Can cause no heat or intermittent ignition when it begins to fail.
• Common symptoms: oven/range won't light, weak or uneven flame, or a persistent gas odor.

What's included:

• One safety valve (single replacement unit)

Install notes:

• Turn off the appliance's gas supply and electrical power before starting work.
• Replace with the same part number; secure all fittings and gaskets per OEM guidance.
• After installation, check all gas connections for leaks with a soapy-water test or approved leak detector.
