If your Garland gas stove burner is not heating properly, start with the control knob, the most likely cause. A cracked, worn, or stripped knob may turn without properly rotating the burner valve stem, so the flame does not change from low to high. Replace the knob if it cannot control the flame as expected. If the knob is intact but the flame remains low or unchanged, the surface burner valve may be damaged. A loose or wobbly valve stem indicates that the valve is not opening correctly and the surface burner valve should be replaced. Next, turn off the gas stove and let the stovetop cool before checking the burner cap. A cap that is misplaced, warped, or damaged can distribute gas unevenly and create a weak flame or uneven heating. Finally, make sure your cookware matches the burner size. A pan that is too large or too small can heat poorly even when the burner works correctly.

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.
