Dan N Eagle , IL December 02, 2014 Appliance: Model KITCHEN AID Burner was stuck in the "on " position thanksgiving meal prep and production became stressful when it was discovered that the shaft of the left front burner was stripped and would not turn Turned off gas to the stove before I learned about holding the start button for 5 seconds.

Ron R Bakersfield , CA March 29, 2019 2 of the burner gas valve stems were bent, one wouldn’t turn on the gas and the other one wouldn’t turn off the gas I replaced the two bad valves with new ones. Pay close attention to the color code on the old valve stems ( blue or black dots for the smaller burners and orange dots on the larger burners, different btu values & different part numbers) I unplugged the stove and turned off the gas then I removed the 6 screws holding on the panel covering the gas valves. Next I removed the electrical harness for the 2 bad valves by lifting up the plastic clasps and gently pulling it off both valves . Next I used a longer 1/2” open ended wrench to loosen the nuts holding the gas line to each bad valve and removed the lines. Next I removed the screw that held the valve to the manifold and removed the bad valves. Installed new valves in the reverse order, before putting the panel back on plug in the stove and turn on the gas & check gas connections on valves for leaks. Install the panel.
