Amana Gas stove burner not heating properly
When your Amana gas stove burner is not heating properly, the most likely cause is a damaged or stripped control knob. When the knob turns but the flame does not change from low to high, inspect the knob for cracks, wear, or a loose fit on the valve stem. If the knob is intact, the surface burner valve may be damaged or its stem may be loose, preventing it from regulating gas flow. A burner cap that is out of position, warped, or damaged can also create a gas burner low flame or uneven heating because it cannot distribute gas correctly across the burner head. With the stove off and the cooktop cool, make sure the cap is seated correctly. Finally, confirm that your cookware matches the burner size, since oversized or undersized pans can make a gas stove seem weak or slow to heat. Whether you need a control knob, surface burner valve, or burner cap, enter your Amana model number to find the exact replacement part for your gas stove.
01 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Control Knob
If a burner flame is not changing as expected when the burner valve control knob is turned from low to high, it's possible the knob is stripped out or damaged and unable to rotate the valve stem. Inspect the knob for any cracks or wear and replace if necessary.

02 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Surface Burner Valve
If a burner flame is not changing as expected when the surface burner valve control knob is turned from low to high, it's possible the burner valve stem is damaged and not actuating the valve appropriately. If the valve stem appears loose or wiggles you should replace the surface burner valve.
Less Common
03 - Burner cap not on correctly
Since burner caps help distribute the gas evenly around the burner, a burner cap that is not positioned correctly on the burner base can cause the burner not to heat properly. Confirm the appliance is turned off and the stovetop is cool to the touch, then readjust the burner cap, if necessary, so it is seated properly on the burner base. If the cap is damaged or warped, the flame can be higher on one side than the other. Inspect the burner cap for damage; a damaged burner cap will likely need to be replaced.
Less Common
04 - Incorrect cookware size being used
For best cooking performance use a burner that is best suited for the size of cookware being used. Using cookware that is too small or too large for the burner is not recommended.
