How to Remove Sealed Burners From a Stove

Sealed ranges are simple to remove and replace.

Gas stoves come in two varieties: sealed and unsealed. Unsealed ranges have a burner assembly that does not include a lighter. A sealed range has a small ignitor built into the body. When a sealed range fails, it may be necessary to remove it from the oven. When cleaning, it is often necessary to remove the sealed burner as well. Unlike ovens with an unsealed burner, your unit will not have a lifting lid, making removal of the ignitor, if necessary, a bit more difficult.

Things You'll Need

• Putty knife
• Screwdriver

Instructions

1. Lift up the grate from the top of the stove.

2. Lift the cap off the burner.

3. Lift up the burner head to expose the lighter orifice.

4. Slide a putty knife under the front corners of the oven, where there is a split in the metal between the stove top and the oven. Find the mounting screws for the burn orifice and remove them with the screwdriver.
