Gas Cooktop Right Rear Gas Valve Replacement

Tools needed: T-20 Torx bit, half-inch wrench, quarter-inch socket or nut driver, Phillips-head screwdriver

Shock

Be sure to unplug the power cord.

Fire

Shut off the gas supply.

Heavy

Carefully lift off all three grates.

Remove all five burner caps and burner bases.

Remove all of the control knobs.

You can use string or wire to help pull them off of the valve stems.

Now use a T-20 Torx bit to unthread all of the screws securing the orifice holders to the main top.

Sharp

With the screws unthreaded, you can lift off the top.

Lift the seal off of the right rear valve stem.

Next, detach the spark switch.

Use a half-inch wrench to unthread the nut securing the gas supply tubing to the valve.

Now use a 7mm socket or nut driver to unthread the screw to release the valve bracket from the manifold.

You can now detach the old gas valve.

Install the new gas valve by positioning it on the supply tubing and manifold.

Align the valve bracket and secure it with the screw ? be careful not to over-tighten the screw.

Thread the nut to secure the gas supply tubing to the valve.

Snap on the spark switch and slide the seal over the valve stem.

Realign the main top on the base so the spark electrodes protrude through the holes in the top.

Confirm that the orifice holders are aligned, then thread and tighten the screws to secure the holders to the main top.

Replace the control knobs by aligning them on the valve stems and pushing them into place.

Align each burner base with the appropriate orifice holder so the igniter electrode protrudes through the hole in the base.

Next, position the burner caps on the bases.

Align the three burner grates on the support brackets and gently lower them.

With the repair completed, turn the gas supply back on and plug the power cord back in.

It?s a good idea to make sure the flame height is properly adjusted after installing a new gas valve.

You can do this on any of the left or right side valves by setting the burner to ?lo?, then remove the control knob?and secure the gas valve stem with a pair of pliers.

Using a 3/32nd inch flat-head screwdriver, rotate the adjustment screw inside the stem clockwise to reduce the flame height and counter-clockwise to increase the height of the flame.

With the flame properly adjusted the gas cooktop should be ready for use.
