GE Range Gas Valve Control (WB21T10014)

The GE Range Gas Valve Control manages the flow of gas to the burners on your range, regulating how much fuel reaches each burner so you can adjust heat from a low simmer to a high flame. It works by responding to the control knob's position and opening or closing the valve to deliver the right amount of gas for the cooking level you select.

A GE range gas valve control can fail over time due to grease buildup, heat exposure, or wear on the internal valve components that prevent it from opening or closing properly. Corrosion, food debris around the valve seat, or a stuck or damaged valve mechanism can also cause it to lose the ability to regulate gas flow accurately.

Watch for these symptoms to help determine if the gas valve control needs to be replaced:

- Burner will not ignite even when the knob is turned

- Flame is consistently too high or too low regardless of knob setting

- Burner lights but goes out shortly after releasing the knob

- Gas smell near the range without a visible flame

- Burner produces an uneven or split flame pattern

- Knob turns but produces no change in flame size

- One or more burners will not shut off completely
