Freeing up stiff gas burner valves
Yes, the best way to do. This is to completely disassemble them and use some grease on them.
However, if you don’t want to go into a time consuming disassemblei, you can squirt some lubricant around the stem of the valve. It probably won’t work miracles immediately but if you do it several times over a couple days or weeks also after you do it if the oven is hot and the stove is hot it’ll probably work in better, but many times this will make it work just fine a light solvent type spray will often rejuvenate old grease that’s in the valve.

Lubricating gas burner valves
Yes, you can try to get some oil in the valve by blowing it or letting it run in on the office outlet end of the valve.
To do this you have to turn off the gas so there’s no pressure forcing the lubricant out as you do this, you also would need to open other valves so as the oil goes in the air can go somewhere. John | ||
