WB21X20470 General Electric Surface Burner Valve

The Surface Burner Valve is a standard OEM part for GE gas stoves, compatible with various brands including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. This component is crucial for regulating the mix of gas and air, ensuring that the flame can be controlled effectively. It is situated beneath the grates of each burner on the cooktop and works by adjusting the gas flow and distributing the flame uniformly through a perforated metal piece.

If you encounter issues such as difficulty in achieving or maintaining the desired flame level, irregular burner performance, a yellow and sooty flame, or lack of ignition despite turning the knob, the burner valve may be defective. Common causes of malfunction include internal wear and tear, blockages in the gas ports due to debris, or physical damage from spills or impacts.

Additionally, this GE burner valve is compatible with certain models from Hotpoint and RCA.
