GE Gas stove burner won't turn off

When your GE gas stove burner won't turn off, the most likely problem is a defective burner valve or surface burner valve that cannot close the gas flow. Turn the control knob to the off position, remove it, and carefully try turning the valve stem by hand. If the stem will not rotate, or the gas burner stays lit when the control is off, replace the faulty valve. Shut off the gas supply and stop using the stove until the repair is complete. If the valve stem moves normally, inspect the control knob next. A cracked or worn GE control knob may not grip or turn the gas valve stem, leaving the burner on. Replace the knob if it is damaged. These are the common causes when a gas stove won't turn off or a gas burner won't turn off. Enter your GE range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement burner valve, surface burner valve, or control knob for your appliance. If you smell gas, leave the area and contact your gas supplier or a qualified technician.
