1956 Tappan Holiday Burner Valve

[rex]

Hello, All and Season's Greetings!

I have a binding gas valve on a Tappan Holiday natural gas stove, and I am wondering if it is okay to put a very small squirt of Kroil or some other lubricant on the shaft to see if this helps free up the valve grease? Right now it occasionally will not turn the burner off and is a bit hard to turn. It looks like the valve is hard to access for service and I don't want to take the stove out of use by wringing off the valve or something like that. Can anyone offer help or suggestions? I cannot find a breakdown of the stove anywhere.

Thanks! Rex
