Aja July 31, 2014 for Model Number glgf366abd My top burners light and my broiler lights but the oven will not light. I see the glow but no ignition. Also we have to shut off the gas line coming into the oven when we are not using the burners or else we can smell leaking propane. It stinks constantly like Propane if we don't shut of the gas line. No bubbles at the connection. And the smell build up is definitely coming from inside the oven even when we are not using it, well duh cuz i can't use out, hence the question.....
1 Answer Hello Aja. 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. 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...
Frank July 24, 2014 for Model Number fgfl79ecb frigidaire range My oven will not heat unless top burner is turned on to relieve some pressure. Do I need to replace the gas pressure regulator valve?
1 Answer Hello Frank, This can be the regulator 5304521339 but I would check the gas pressure first since it can be the gas supply pressure giving the problem. Read More...

Brion April 13, 2014 for Model Number Fridigaire Range glgf377abc When we are using the oven it works but you can hear the gas loudly hissing. Are we going to need a new regulator? If we do, and until we get one is there any danger in using oven as is?
1 Answer Hello Brion. You need to repair the issue as soon as possible. It is either the regulator or a bad gas valve on the unit. Read More...
Terry March 20, 2014 for Model Number GLGF366ABA Are there any adjustments that can be made to get a higher flame for the top burners?
1 Answer Hello Terry. No, it is not safe to adjust the flames. They should be blue to burn and cook clean. If they are to low, it could be to a faulty regulator or low gas supply to the unit. Read More...

Phil October 19, 2013 for Model Number Bggf3042kf I am using butane gas on my Frigidaire gas range, flame are yellow don't have access to natural gas, what part do I need to correct this problem. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Phil, They are not the same! Otherwise the appliance would be rated and certified for use with both fuels! They have different BTU values and require different volumes of air for complete combustion. To convert appliances, you MUST get conversion kits from the original manufacturer. They will give you a new rating plate which is their proof that the appliance is "certified" for use with that fuel. If you "Mcgyver" the appliance and try and convert it by just changing or drilling orifices etc, you will void the manufacturer's warranty. Also, the manufacturer will take no responsibility if the appliance hurts anyone or property is damaged because you have "altered" the appliance. Insurance companies will deny claims for the same reason. On the appliance's rating plate you will find the model and serial number along with the manufacturer's contact information. Typically getting a conversion kit for natural gas to propane, or propane to natural gas is not too difficult. Butane may be a different story. You might end up having to replace the appliances altogether. Give them a call though. If they offer one and don't sell you one directly, they should be able to put you in touch with a dealer in your area who can. Once you have the factory conversion kit installed by a qualified technician you are good to go! Read More...
Brad D October 15, 2013 for Model Number 316091706j I completed the LP gs conversion kit and is gas leaking out of the orifice on the regulator. Is my regulator shot?
1 Answer Brad, Make sure that the orifice is in place properly but if still leaking then then yes the regulator would be bad. Read More...
Phil September 08, 2013 for Model Number Tappan TGF363AUA I recently purchased a new regulator since the the stove was making a humming noise when I turned on the top burners. This was also confirmed when the gas company came out. I replaced the regulator, turned the gas valve back on, pulled in the power cord and turned the regulator switch to on. The top burners are not igniting. Is there a pilot that needs to be lit? If so does the oven pilot need to be lit as well?
1 Answer Hello Phil. No, you need to check and make sure you have the flow going toward the arrow on the regulator and the gas is turned on on the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Betty. 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.
