The Burner Valve (RR) is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It controls the flow of gas to the rear-right burner, allowing for precise regulation of the flame during cooking. The valve ensures safe and efficient operation by opening and closing as needed to adjust the burner’s heat output.
Over time, burner valves can become faulty due to wear and tear, grease buildup, or internal damage. Exposure to high heat and repeated use may cause the valve to stick, leak, or fail to regulate gas properly. If the valve becomes obstructed or worn out, it can compromise cooking performance and safety.
Symptoms of a bad burner valve include:
- Inconsistent or weak flame
- Gas smell near the burner when turned off
- Difficulty igniting the burner
- The burner not shutting off completely
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
