How to Turn the Gas On & Off If the Knob of the Stove Is Stuck
- Pull the stove away from the wall.
- Rotate the handle to the "off" position, usually perpendicular to the valve's body.
- Search for the home's main supply valve if you can't find the stove's dedicated supply valve.
- Loop your index and middle fingers behind the broken knob.
- Pull the knob away from the stove's surface.
Just so, how do you fix a stuck gas stove knob?
Try pulling the plastic knob off. There should be a metal peg sticking out (the plastic knob fits over it) then try squirting some WD-40 on it and gently grab the metal peg with some pliers and slowly turn it. Don't force it too much as it may break. When it loosens up, replace the peg.
Keeping this in view, how do you turn off a broken oven knob?
If just the knob is broken, you can try to use pliers to turn the stem on the oven control knob. If you are not able to shut off the oven in this manner, I recommend shutting off the gas supply to the oven.
Weak Burner Flame Low-quality flames could also be caused by too little gas or too little air getting to the burner. Adjust the air shutter to see if the problem is air, but call for a pro if you suspect the problem is not enough gas.
