Kenmore Gas stove burner won't turn off
If your Kenmore gas stove burner won't turn off, turn the burner control to OFF and shut off the gas supply if the flame continues. The most likely cause is a defective burner valve or surface burner valve that cannot close. Remove the control knob and carefully turn 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 faulty valve. A damaged or cracked control knob is less common but can also cause a gas burner to stay on if it no longer turns the valve stem. Inspect the knob for cracks, wear, or a loose fit, and replace it if needed. Do not use the Kenmore gas stove until the burner shuts off normally. This repair may involve a Kenmore range/stove/oven valve, surface burner valve, or control knob. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Kenmore range or gas stove and confirm that it fits your appliance.
