Dude January 17, 2016 for Model Number Frideadare fgfl88cca when trying to bake: I usually smell gas before the oven "wooshes" and fires up. It takes a long time to get up to temperature. Baking takes extra long. I opened it up to take a look: The igniter fires up. (looks white/orange) After 2 minutes gas flows to the burner, It won't ignite it though. I had to use a lighter to ignite the flame. It burns evenly across the burner, but the flame is only 1/4" high. In conclusion, The igniter allows gas to flow, but won't ignite it. and the flame is (presumably low.) Will a regulator fix this issue ? -Dude
1 Answer Hello Dude. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Jerry November 29, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Range 790.78653602 Everything on the range works fine, but recently we started smelling a kerosene-like smell when the stovetop burners are used. Checked burner orifices for any dirt / clogging that might affect the fuel / air mix and combustion but all orifices clear and flames generally look nice and blue and even. What could cause this smell?
1 Answer Hello Jerry. What is happening is called a product of combustion. Somewhere around in the house or near the house someone used or opened some kind of stain, paint, varnish or comparable compound including cleaners. The molecules carry over and get mixed in with air and then burned off from open flame. If you light a candle or a lighter you will smell the same odor, although not quite as strong- the bigger the flame the stronger the odor. The odor should dissipate over the next few days until there are no more molecules from the source left in the air. Read More...
Ruth July 30, 2015 for Model Number kenmore # 790.73039310 I need to change the regulator to LP gas and it doesn't look like the one in the conversion kit. How does it change?
Marie July 16, 2015 for Model Number LFGF3022LWA When I turn the oven on , during what would've been the pre-heat time I kept waiting for the burner to light and although there was an orange glow it wasn't lighting , it was however defiantly leaking the gas so I quickly turned it off .I tried to use the oven again today but it did the same thing . What could the problem be ? Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Hello Marie. Test for 3.0-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Christine May 02, 2015 for Model Number JGBP33WEH3WW My oven is getting way to hot-sporadically I am thinking it is the temperature regulator but when I search 'parts' I see Regulator or valve pressure regulator...I want to be sure I replace the correct part- ...
1 Answer Christine, When you have erratic temperatures in an oven, the first check to make or part to replace is the oven temperature sensor WB21X5301. This sensor informs the ERC/Clock when the selected temperature is reached and opens the circuit to the gas valve system and shuts off the gas supply. The sensor can loose it's resistances with time and usage. Read More...
Dave December 12, 2014 for Model Number FGF355CGSF I would like to convert my Frigidaire gas stove from natural gas to propane. Where do I make this adjustment on the regulator and is there anything I should be aware of when converting?
1 Answer Dave, to convert the unit to LP you'll need conversion kit part number 5303286386. The oven orifices are adjustable, tighten them all the way down and back up 1/2 a round. Remove the brass fitting on the regulator, flip it over and screw it back in. Hope this helps, thanks. Read More...
Yury November 14, 2014 for Model Number FGF337AUA Frigidaire gas range FGF337AUA converted to propane gas.Noticed recently gas smell and found gas leaking through vent orifice in regulator 316091706 breather. Replaced twice by brand new OEM Electrolux(invenys controls) from different vendors,both of them leaking.Verified by electronic leak detector and detection solution.Is it normal for some gas to escape or recent parts are defective?(Cup on regulator was put on lp position and input pressure 10 in w.c.), may I plug that vent or try Y-68506-AF27 made by Robertshaw Uni-line.Thank you in advance for your response.
1 Answer Hello Yury. It is not normal to leak. You need to contact a certified gas technician to install the part properly if you can not get them to stop leaking. It may be that the install is being done improperly. Read More...
David S October 09, 2014 for Model Number FGF348KCN My oven still leaks lp gas at gas nozz[e after turning oven off.
1 Answer David, With the oven valve allowing gas to seep through when the oven is in the off position then you would need to replace the oven safety valve part number 3203459. Read More...
Bryan August 30, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore Gas Range 790.71411400 Hi - Like another user wrote in on here, my Kenmore stove makes a humming noise when I turn on the burners (varies with control knob, ie gets louder when you turn the burner on higher) and this also happens when the oven begins heating. My question is, how do I adjust this regulator to change the amount of gas flow? Most regulators have a slotted screw you can turn to loosen or tighten the control spring, but I couldn't find such a screw on this model. Thank you!
1 Answer Bryan, On this gas regulator there is no adjustments that can be made to it other than changing from Natural to LP. The regulator would need to be changed if the regulator is the making the noise. The regulator part number is 5304521339. Read More...
