Montgomery Wards Gas stove burner won't turn off

When your Montgomery Wards 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 the knob and carefully try turning the valve stem by hand. If the stem will not rotate, or the burner stays lit with the control in the OFF position, replace the defective valve. A damaged control knob is less common but possible. Inspect the knob for cracks, stripped splines, or other damage that could prevent it from turning the gas valve stem. Replace the knob if needed. These checks apply when a gas burner won't turn off or your gas stove is not turning off. If the burner remains lit, shut off the gas supply if you can do so safely and avoid using the stove until the problem is repaired. Enter your Montgomery Wards range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement burner valve, surface burner valve, or control knob for your appliance.
