Erratic Flame On Burner or Oven

If your Gas Oven Or Stove Top Burner Flame is Eratic Check the Following


Fuel Type
If this is a new installation make sure the gas valve has been properly adjusted for the type of gas. Lp and natural gas use different orfices and pressures. A conversion kit is available.

Burner
The burners may need to be cleaned. There are small holes that allow gas through holes that are ignited by the igniter. These holes can become clogged up. You can usually clean these with a toothpick or small wire, watch the video. If it is the oven burner and you have a small flame or it does not stay lit check the video on troubleshooting a gas range.

Gas Valve
The gas valve rarely fails but this can. If the gas burners are clean and the gas valve is properly adjusted replace the gas valve. This should be done by a professional. Leaks can be very dangerous and also the gas pressure needs to be adjusted for the type of fuel you are using.
