Abstract
A valve stem position sensor for a gas range provides a slotted housing, wiper assembly, and printed circuit board that may be aligned to allow the sensor to be installed on the valve stem from the side of the valve stem rather than over the end of the valve stem permitting the valves to be partially installed in the gas range with the valve stems extending through the console for mechanical support during the remainder of the assembly process.
