Standard Valve Removal and Replacement

The standard valves are for the right side, non-XLO burners only.
Be sure to check QuickFinder for relevant information, documentation,
and the correct part number when replacing this component.

1. Follow all safety precautions and steps in Preparing the Range for
Servicing, page 21.
2. Follow all steps in Accessing Components under the Maintop,
page 21.
3. Remove knob from valve stem by slowly pulling knob straight out,
away from control panel.
4. Using a 9/16th inch wrench, remove the gas tube by unscrewing
the hex nuts connected to the standard valve and to the jet holder
assembly. Be careful not to bend the gas tube.
5. If a burner support rail obstructs access to the standard valve,
then remove the burner support rail (with jet holder assemblies
attached) by following the steps in Removing the Burner Support
Rail, page 24.
6. Using a 1/4 inch nut driver or a 1/4 inch socket wrench/ratchet,
remove and retain the valve screw (that secures the standard
valve onto the manifold) by accessing it from under the chassis

base, through the corresponding access hole (the oven door must
be opened or removed (see Figure 76 and Figure 77). Be careful
not to lose the rubber washer attached to the screw.
7. Remove the standard valve and (connected) microswitch from the
manifold (see Figure 78, page 41). Be careful not to lose the red
rubber washer attached to the standard valve.
8. Detach the standard valve from the microswitch by removing and
retaining the screw and then pulling the microswitch off the
alignment pin on the standard valve (see Figure 78, page 41).
NOTE: You do not have to detach the wires connected to the
microswitch terminals if you are just servicing the standard valve.
9. Replace the standard valve if needed.
