• Regulates gas to the surface burner; opens/closes as the control knob is turned
• Helps resolve no-flame or no-ignition conditions when sparking is present
• Restores proper flame adjustment from low simmer to full boil
• Addresses stiff, seized, or inconsistent valve action at the knob

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Remove the knob and access the manifold to detach the old valve; note tubing and orientation
• Transfer any mounting clip or fittings from the original valve if required by your model
• After reassembly, check all connections with an approved leak-detection solution and verify burner operation
