    Can't find a replacement gas valve for cooktop
    I can't find this part anywhere: 3192157 for left front gas valve for kitchenaid gas cooktop kcg166gss2
    No other part is listed as a replacement.
    There are 2 other valves in my cooktop and seem to be available. Could I use one of these, 3191293 instead? Are the specs different? Is it safe to use?

    The only difference , in most stoves , is the BTU output. See if you can physically swap one of the other burners. If so, and it lights, order that.

    Yes, I saw that as well but when you try to order, it comes back as no longer being available. Thanks though.

    Make sure the orifice in the valve isn't plugged.

    I don't think it's plugged. The gas runs through but cannot be adjusted up or down and doesn't shut off. I swapped it out as MA0641 said above, and it fits in another location. THerefore, I'm ordering the other valve and just have a little less output - but still fine with me. Thanks!
