If your Electrolux gas stove burner is not heating properly, start with the control knob, the most likely cause. A stripped or damaged knob may turn without properly rotating the burner valve stem, so the flame does not change from low to high. If the knob is intact but the gas burner still has a low flame or weak flame, the surface burner valve may be damaged, especially if its stem feels loose or wobbles. Next, check the burner cap. With the gas stove turned off and the cooktop cool, make sure the cap is seated correctly on the burner base. A misplaced, warped, or damaged burner cap can distribute gas unevenly and keep the burner from heating as it should. Finally, use cookware that matches the burner size. A pan that is too large or too small can cause poor cooking performance even when the burner is working correctly. Enter your Electrolux gas stove model number to find the exact replacement control knob, surface burner valve, or burner cap for your appliance.

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.

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.
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.
