Magic Chef Gas stove burner won't turn off

When your Magic Chef gas stove burner won't turn off, treat the problem seriously and shut off the burner's gas supply if you can do so safely. The most likely cause is a faulty burner valve or surface burner valve that cannot close. Remove the control knob and carefully try turning the valve stem by hand. If the stem will not rotate, or the burner continues operating when the control is in the off position, replace the defective valve. A cracked or broken control knob is less common but possible. Inspect the knob to make sure it is gripping and turning the gas valve stem correctly, and replace it if damaged. These failures can cause a gas burner to stay on even when the knob appears to be off, so do not keep using the stove until the issue is corrected. This troubleshooting applies to a Magic Chef gas stove with a gas stove burner that won't turn off, also described as a gas burner that won't turn off or a gas stove not turning off.
