The Burner Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas cooktops and ranges. Each burner valve controls the flow of gas to its corresponding surface burner element.
Causes of a bad burner valve can include wear and degradation of internal mechanisms from years of continuous heating cycles. Mineral or debris buildup restricting gas flow is also possible.
Symptoms of a bad Burner Valve include:
- Inability to ignite or control individual burners
- Unstable, weak, or over-sized flames that cannot be adjusted
- Gas leaks detected around the valve area
- Premature failure if burners cannot be turned off properly
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.
