Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing your replacement parts, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven Flames / Low Heat | Burner ports are clogged or burner is not properly seated. | Clean burner ports. Re-seat the burner onto the gas valve orifice. Ensure gas supply is adequate. |
| Thermometer Not Reading Correctly | Thermometer stem is not fully inserted or is damaged. | Ensure the thermometer stem is fully inserted and securely fastened. If damaged, replacement may be necessary. |
| Gas Leak Smell | Loose gas connection. | Immediately turn off gas supply. Check all connections for tightness. Apply a soapy water solution to connections; bubbles indicate a leak. Do not ignite if a leak is detected. Seek professional help if unable to resolve. |
