How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off all burners. Do not spray cleaners directly into valve areas.

  • Remove knobs: Pull the knobs straight off the valve stems.
  • Clean area: Wipe the stem and surrounding area with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent. Do not flood the area with liquid.
  • Inspect knobs: Check for cracks or deformation inside the knob. Replace damaged knobs.
  • Valve replacement: If valves remain stiff or gritty, the gas valves may need to be replaced and adjusted by a qualified technician.
