JC Penney Gas stove burner won't turn off

If your JC Penney gas stove burner won't turn off, the most likely cause is a faulty burner valve or surface burner valve that cannot close the gas flow. Turn the control knob to OFF, then remove it and carefully try turning the valve stem by hand. If the stem will not rotate, or the burner stays lit with the knob in the off position, replace the defective valve. Before servicing the gas stove, shut off the gas supply if the burner remains on. A damaged control knob is the next likely cause. A cracked or broken knob may turn without moving the gas valve stem, so inspect it and replace it if needed. The same check applies to the burner knob, depending on how your JC Penney gas stove is labeled. These problems can cause a gas burner that won't turn off, gas stove not turning off, or gas stove won't turn off symptom.
