Inglis Gas stove burner not heating properly

If your Inglis gas stove burner is not heating properly, start with the burner control knob. When the flame does not change from low to high as you turn the knob, the knob may be cracked, worn, or stripped and unable to turn the burner valve stem. Replace the control knob if it cannot grip the stem securely. If the knob is in good condition, inspect the surface burner valve. A loose or wobbly valve stem may not regulate gas flow correctly, so the surface burner valve may need replacement. Next, turn off the Inglis gas stove and let the stovetop cool before checking the burner cap. A cap that is misplaced, damaged, or warped can distribute gas unevenly and cause 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 make a gas burner seem like it is not heating properly. Enter your model number to find the exact control knob, surface burner valve, or burner cap for your Inglis range.

01 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.

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.

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.
