Can the valves be replaced with an available substitute? If so, where can it be obtained? Can the existing valves be "rebuilt"? If so, how? Can I do anything short of replacing the stove which is a double oven unit in which there is a smaller oven mounted above the 4-burner cooking surface. Both of the ovens are working properly. Is there any way I can deal with the stuck burner control valves short of replacing the entire unit at a cost of $1500-$1800 plus installation, etc. ?
Stuck gas-range burner valves
I'm going to take a wild guess that the gas line comes to the stove from the floor and probably connects to the stove itself via a flex pipe of some type, correct? If you look at the fitting where the flex pipe meets up with the feed pipe (typically at floor level) you should find a shut off valve there. You might need to clean the fitting off with a damp rag or something and I'll tell ya, it's REAL easy to miss -- I must have looked at ours a dozen times over and never realized what it was.
Your unit sounds like the one we just replaced. Ours was also about 20 years old, double oven with a smaller one over top of the burners. We just said the heck with it and bought a floor model of a single oven unit. We kind of miss the top oven but it's really not that great of a loss and the new stove is a much better unit overall. We had considered hitting some of the second-hand stores that have refurbished/cleaned up used models and the like but the deal on the new one was too good to pass up. :)
