Questions & Answers

For Ge Orifice Spud (Surface Burner) (Part Number: OEM11983068)

Heath for Model Number JGBP35WEW1WW

When I replaced the oven ignitor, I accidentally adjusted the spud going into the oven burner (I forgot the burner was affixed by two screws by the spud). Oven works again, but heats up way too quickly. Initially I tightened the spud until it stopped. I didn't tighten beyond that. But in instructions for adjusting the spud and airflow (which I didn't change), out just says to tighten took it's "snug" and back of two turns. "Snug" is not a measurement. It's very subjective. How far from the stop position should I back off? Or is it possible I damaged the spud or gas nozzle by going till the stop position?

1 Answer

Heath, When you snug it down, meaning just go til it gets to a stop point but do not wrench down on it, then you back off 2 turns. It does not sound like it has been damaged but sounds like it may just need to be adjusted.

Dennis for Model Number JGBS04PPH2WH

GE Gas Range...it was new and had been in storage and it never been installed..there were no orfice spuds on the range portion...I put it in a rental house...customer complains that flame to burners isn't high enough...I had installed orfice spuds that came in the bag attached to range when I put it in but it is a very low flame and burners are very slow to light off pilot. It's on Natural Gas and oven seems to function fine. Gas company assures me that gas pressure is fine. I believe I need a larger orfice but could find no markings on them to indicate what I have. Any suggestions?

1 Answer

Dennis, The orifices that were in the bag that came with the unit would be LP orifices and if you do not have the NG orifices then you would need to get the burner tubing as it will have the orifices with them.

Blanca, the conversion kit WB28K10046 would be used with the model number provided. Unfortunately, the manufacturer discontinued this kit, and it is no longer available. However, the LP orifice WB28K10023 can be used for the surface burners after turning the gas supply off. The bake and broil orifice hoods would need to be tightened 2 full turns or until just snug (do not overtighten as this can damage the orifices) and the regulator would need to be adjusted by flipping the pin found just under the brass cap.

Suzanne, You will need 4 of orifice spud part number WB28K10376 to convert this unit to LP. For the oven tighten down the orifices 1 1/2 to 2 turns and open the air shutters all the way. The brass nut on the regulator will need to be flipped from Nat to LP.

Patty, with the gas supply turned off and the power cord unplugged, the orifice hoods of the oven section would need to be tightened about 2 1/2 turns until they are snug (be careful to not over-tighten). The regulator would also need to be converted by unscrewing the cap and flipping the regulator pin and then screwing the cap back on.

Tim, there will be one of each orifice needed. They are part number WB28T10015, WB28T10028, WB28T10027, and WB28T10014. The oven orifices would need to be loosened 2 full turns then moving the air shutters to 3/4 open. With the gas supply valve shut off, the regulator would need to be adjusted to natural gas.
