Gas stove burner won't turn off
If your gas stove burner won't turn off, shut off the gas supply if you can do so safely and avoid using the burner until the problem is repaired. The most likely cause is a defective burner valve or surface burner valve that cannot close the gas flow. Remove the control knob and carefully turn the valve stem by hand. If the stem will not rotate, or the gas burner stays lit when the control is in the off position, the valve is likely faulty and should be replaced. A damaged control knob is less common but possible. A cracked or worn knob may spin without turning the gas valve stem, leaving the gas stove not turning off. Inspect the knob for cracks or damage and replace it if needed. The same check applies to the burner knob, which may be listed under a different part name for your model. Enter your range or gas stove model number to find the exact replacement burner valve, surface burner valve, or control knob for your appliance.
