William S December 13, 2022 for Model Number FFGF3053LSD The burners have a blue/orange flame (not just blue). Tank has just recently been filled. Burner's light and work as normal but flame is blue/orange in color. Flame also seems to "pulse" a bit. Called the Propane company and they said to call an appliance repair person. Called sears appliance and they had a tech look at it. They said it could be contaminated gas and I should call propane company. All cook top burners have the same pulsing blue/orange flame. Orifices are clear. Can this be a stove gas regulator issue?
1 Answer William, There is a good possibility that the regulator is the cause for this issue. Read More...
J R November 02, 2022 for Model Number FGF368GCD I have a lp oven that sounds like a blowtorch when in use. The stovetop works as it should only the oven makes this sound. Is the pressure regulator bad?
1 Answer JR, if the range was recently converted to LP, the bake and broil orifices would need to be checked to ensure they have been tightened down until they are just snug (do not overtighten). The broil and bake burners would also need to be checked to ensure the air openings are fully open. Read More...
Ath June 03, 2022 for Model Number EI30GF35JSA Hi I'm installing my gas range but I see a white cap on the gas regulator and it can be easily opened. I'm wondering what that is for, I couldn't find the answer in the manual or online.
1 Answer Ath, Thanks for the question!!!! The white cap is a protective cap for the insert. The insert is removed and flipped around based on the type of gas that the range would be using either natural gas or liquid propane. Read More...
Gene May 02, 2022 for Model Number FGFL97FCC Hi, My oven is covered in soot. The range top flames look and function normal, so the oven has the issue. The oven takes a while to heat to temperature, and had the igniter replaced 3-4 years ago. Once heated, it hold temperature fine, although there may be a small smell of gas during preheat. I am going to inspect and replace the burner tube, but was wondering how to tell if the safety valve or the Pressure Regulator valve are also faulty. How can I determine which may be contributing to the issue? Thanks!
1 Answer Gene, Typically when there is sooting going on with the unit, this normally only happens when the unit has been converted to LP but the oven has not or the air shutters on the burners need to be adjusted. Read More...

Ray February 02, 2021 for Model Number 790.70609013 I changed the regulator from LP to Nat. gas and changed the orifices on the stove top for Nat. Gas. All works well now except for the oven. It takes an hour to reach 350 degrees with a 1/2" flame on the oven burner. Do I need to loosen the gas valve orifice by backing it out 1.5 to 2 turns in order to increase the volume of gas to the burner tube?
1 Answer Ray, the orifice hoods for the oven would need to be loosened 1 1/2 to 2 turns from where it was set for LP. Read More...
Ken August 28, 2020 for Model Number 790.75864302 My Kenmore gas range is making a high pitch wining sound when the oven goes on. The sound will stop when gas flow shuts off, then comes back when the gas flows again on the cooking cycle.My guess is that it sounds like the gas pressure regulator maybe the culprit. Can you verify if that maybe the cause? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Ken, check the bake burner orifice is not restricted (can cause whistling) also can occur when the incoming gas pressure to the stove is on the high end, you can try a new pressure regulator 5304521339 and see if it stops , if not you need to contact the gas supplier next.

Lando July 02, 2020 for Model Number FGF379WECR We’ve got an older unit that is giving us some broiler trouble. Stove top and oven proper work well, but the broiler, when set to high, only has about a half an inch of flame and takes forever to get the job done. Thoughts? And thanks for this forum......
1 Answer Hello Lando, first access the broiler burner tube and remove it check for any obstruction in the tube, next check the broil burner's orifice and again check for any obstruction, that is the most likely cause of poor gas flow to the burner. If both check ok then the problem may be in the safety gas valve 5303208499. Read More...
John June 22, 2020 for Model Number Frigidaire I have a Frigidaire Oven, (not sure the model number) that smells like gas when I use bake. I do not smell the gas when using the stovetop or broil. The oven heats, the piece of metal (I believe this would be the igniter) heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas, creating a steady flame on both sides of the burner. I'm not sure what the next step is to checking and repairing the oven. Thank you, John
1 Answer Hello John, without a model number we can only give a general answer for this. If you are smelling raw natural gas only when the bake burner is in use, access the burner tube and check it is in place correctly and the air shutter is 3/4 open and the ports along the tube are not corroded/rusted or blocked. Also if there is a gas supply tube from the bake burner to the gas valve check for any leaks along the tube especially at the fittings, you can use a soap solution and check if bubbles are showing indicating a leak point. If a new bake burner tube is needed we will need the model number to find the correct part. Read More...
Dan April 25, 2020 for Model Number FFGF3047LSF My oven quit working this week. It is about 5 years old and in great shape. The stovetop burners all work. I push the bake button and hear a click and then nothing happens. I don't smell gas, The glow plug does not glow and it looks fine.
1 Answer Dan, You will want to check to see if there is 120 Vac getting to the igniter. If there is and the igniter is not glowing then the issue will be a faulty igniter. If there is no power to the igniter then the control board is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
