The Valve-Gas is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas stoves. It controls the flow of gas from the supply line into the burner tubing, igniters, and flames themselves during the operation of the range top. Precise control of gas flow is critical for safe and efficient cooking performance.
Symptoms of a bad gas valve can include:
- Inability to ignite one or more burners
- Unstable, intermittent burner flames
- Burners that cannot be turned low enough or click off suddenly
- Escaping gas odor near the range
Causes of a bad valve may involve wear and tear of internal parts like diaphragms or seals letting in air/gas, corrosion on valve surfaces from gas or moisture, or damage from appliance service/movement over time.
This Whirlpool OEM replacement part is compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore models.
