WPW10206288 Whirlpool Range Surface Burner Valve

Surface Burner Valve, 6K - Left Front & Right Front Sides

This component connects directly to the main gas line and is crucial for mixing the correct proportions of gas and air. It is suitable for use when your oven fails to ignite. The valve is a standard OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for Whirlpool gas ranges, ensuring precise control over the gas flow to the burners, which is vital for safety.

Common reasons for valve malfunctions include normal wear and tear, accumulation of mineral deposits in the valve's narrow channels, or physical damage that disrupts its finely tuned operations.

Indications of a malfunctioning gas valve are:
- Burners failing to ignite or igniting unpredictably
- Difficulty in adjusting the flame levels on burners
- Presence of gas smells around the stove area

This part is also compatible with various brands under the Whirlpool umbrella such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models designed for gas use.
