Whirlpool Gas stove burner won't turn off
If your Whirlpool 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 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 stays lit when the control is in the off position, replace the burner valve. A faulty surface burner valve can cause the same gas burner won't turn off problem and should be tested in the same way. If the valve stem moves normally, inspect the control knob. A cracked or broken knob may fail to turn the gas valve stem fully to the off position. Replace the knob if it is damaged. These problems can cause a Whirlpool gas stove not turning off or a gas stove burner that continues burning after the knob is turned. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement burner valve, surface burner valve, control knob, or knob for your Whirlpool range, stove, or oven.
