Have a great day!
I searched all over and this is the right detailed video. Crank that sucker down. Don’t mess with counting turns… my flame was huge at first and I cranked on it 4 different times until it finally was getting close. Good video
Very helpful. Thank you.
Hey Hey!! We worked off and on all day on oven to regulate flame. We ran across this site/post, tightened up screw and Wa Làa.! Thank you Big Joe!!
Thanks so much!! this is exactly what I needed to see!
“VERIFIED” I have racked my brain, been through the instructions over and over and haven’t found the tid bit of most important info as I found here. The recap was the most help , I felt as if I would strip the threads out, but I rolled the dice on what joe had to say. I ran the nut all the way down although to no gap,it felt it would strip ,but it bottomed out and the overly long flame issue was fixed,and blue. Thank you sir for posting the video, the old lady is off my back lol
Your stove is just like mine. Thanky you a bunch. You made my week👏👏👏👏👏
That nob really works. The air flow valve/cap above that should be open as well. More air flow gives more blue flame.........great job!
I have a converted LP stove installed prior to buying the house. Top burners and broiler worked fine, nice tight, blue flames. However, when using the bake function, we would get a strong smell and yellow flames wicking up from below and black soot. Before I found your video, I read the conversion process in the original instructions. The air intake was properly set all the way open,.... so I turned the gas orifice all the way clockwise (or so I thought) but I still had yellow flames. Then I found your video. You said tighten it down more than you would expect, so I tried it again. This time, I held the valve with one hand while I turned the orifice with the other. It turned another quarter of a turn! THIS MIGHT HELP OTHERS....What was happening prior is the thickness of my wrench was pinching on the bottom of the burn tube and the top of the valve, making me think the orifice was tight. It wasn't! Holding the valve with one hand is critical. Force it a little. Like I said, my wrench was binding. I now have perfect blue flames! Thanks!!
Worked for me as well, thanks. It needed to be flush with the bottom. Why this information is nowhere in the conversion information is BEYOND my understanding.
thanks for putting this up. I just got a new range and had big yellow flames on the bake setting. was too afraid to tighten more since it was already very tight was afraid of braking it but after this video, I tightened more and resolved my issue. Thanks!
Thanks for the video, having spent too many hours trying to interpret the Sears instructions and looking at videos by Kenmore I was ready to use a sledge on the stove. You saved me lots of money and frustration. Don't think there will be Kenmore in my life again.
Very useful video and comments. Resolved my issues and I reduced the flame to the oven. Thank you!!!
Thank you for the update although three years ago even helped me I would’ve never tightened that down so far thankful I watched your video to the end.
Thank you very much for this video. I completed the LP conversion , but I didnt close that valve all the way down until there was no gap, which was the key factor in achieving the right flame. You have saved me and my family from a gas smell and high C02 problem, not to mention the soot that was in the food and the dirty stove.
Much appreciated.
+Patrick Pigott That's Awesome!! I'm very happy it help fix your problems and worries. Thank You Patrick for the kind words and taking the time to leave your comment.
Why man I can't even explain how much your video help me out thank you so much they said 2 and 1/2 turns out it was more like 4 and 1/2 turns out thank you thank you
Thank you thank you thank you! I was beating my head against the wall I turned it til it got tight. That's where my problem was. Big orange flame. When you said no space I had to push thru a tough spot. It went another turn at least. Gorgeous blue flame. DONE! Thanks for the info.
Hello there. Your video made my day. I've attempted to get our new oven going but stopped when it became a hot rod. This morning I came across your video, now it can be used. Thank you very much. Have a blessed day and God bless.
Happy it helped. thanks for the kind words
i bought a used stove and had issues w/ the broiler adjustment due to it being somewhat welded and quite difficult to adjust doing an lp conversion. A regular wrench wanted to strip it as this is soft brass. I cleaned what was left visible of the threads, uninstalled the broiler assembly and removed it, then used a 1/2" deep socket and wrench to finish the job. It was quite difficult to turn but it slowly did to the point where I was going to break the broiler spud assembly. After bottoming it out finally I opened up the air shutter completely to get rid of the flame. On a new stove this is fairly straight forward, but on a used older stove it's not easy. These videos helped me get approximately the same flame coming out of the assembly.
I wish I would have saw this video before I left my mother-in-law's I played with her oven for almost an hour, someone donated the stove to her I converted the orifices on top but when I changed the regulator I still had the crazy flame..
Actually was good to start taking the unit further apart but now I have a plan of action!
Thanks!
This worked for me thank you so much for the video. I was puzzled and you saved me so much time.
Your advice was spot on and I was able to get my stove flame adjusted properly. Thanks 🙏 for your awesome advice!
Thanks for the info. Oven works much better now that the flame is regulated
Thank you so much! That was exactly what was wrong with my new stove. Somehow I missed that step in the conversion process.
I had the same problem. Thank you brother. Amen. I fixed it because of your awesome video.
Oddly enough, this instruction is MISSING in the GRLP4 conversion kit documentation, which is crazy. Thankfully I watched a few videos like this one beforehand! Thanks for this!
Paul Davidson You're Welcome thanks for the kind words, They are much appreciated
man thank you me an dad spend forever trying to get the flame right. Thank you thank you.
I bought a used stove and did this procedure. It works perfectly for the oven. I still need to buy four new orifices for the stove top.
This is my first propain stove. It came brand new with the home I just bought. The stove was soo outta wack that not only did it fill the whole house with black unburnt gas, but the food was black with sut if we opened the door while the over was on. I cant thank you enough.....
Yes! Thank you. This worked very well.
Good video thanks
Just made me money on a easy repair thank you
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the tip on no space on the burner spud. I do want to mention though that for most applications the air vent should be opened up all the way for LP.
Read my reply about that in my comment above, made on 11/12/2019.
You are precise and accurate thanks but the regulator in GE spectra is different
Thank you for posting this video saved me a whole of of heads just seeing your video.😂
Awesome 👍
There will likely also be some dried sealant on the threads left over from the original natural gas set up which was applied to hold the orifice in place with that 1/8” gap. You will find it easier to tighten the hex nut base all the way down if you first unscrew it and remove any old residue from both male and female threads, then re-dope with fresh wet sealant which will act as a lubricant before it dries.
Thanks so much! The instructions aren't very clear on this in the manual, so thanks for clearing it up.
thanks so much you're right I had to tighten it down all the way and then it was like perfectly normal otherwise it was like flames shooting everywhere yellow orange
HA! Yesterday I had the same problem. I bought a new safety valve. Easy installation. And I totally forgot that I live in the country and my brand new stove (20 years ago) was converted for LP by the store where I bought it. So I turned on the oven and cooked a pizza for me and the two young men (sons) while mom is visiting parents. When I opened the oven I saw the flames shooting out the edges of the oven bottom. So today, I finally found the actual instructions on the back of the stove. The orifice cover needs to be tightened all the way down, but not tight. You turn it until you feel it stop, and then just leave it, otherwise you can damage what's under it (take the top off the old one and you'll see what I mean. Then, the instructions say to open up the air shutter on the bake burner all the way (the words NAT and LP are stamped next to it), and adjust it back down a bit if the flames are lifting off of the burner ports. Funny thing is, I had to close the shutter all the way back to natural gas (NAT), and two or three rows at the END of the burner are still lifting a bit. That's strange. In the video above, it looks like he's not having that problem. Another thing the instructions say is that the darker, inner blue flame should be about 1" long. Mine are about 1/2" long. So anyway, I ordered a new burner ($28 shipped), and I'm hoping that will fix the flame-lifting. And also, I'm thinking about whether the regulator needs adjusting. What fun! Any thoughts? Oh, and it took me 15 minutes to clean the soot off of the inside of the oven for running it for 18 minutes with that high flame! We were lucky, in that the soot didn't get on the pizza, just on the walls of the oven, and really a lot on the underside of the flame-spreader and the oven bottom. And another thing: It would have been nice if the new safety valve had come with instructions for converting it to propane.
Thanks Joe
That solved the problem
Thank you..!! This worked perfectly..!!
Excellent Video thanks! you are the Best
Thanks for the kind words. I hope this helps save any future headaches.
i have a hotpoint cooker,rings are ok,but grill flame very low,is there a jet i can clean to make the flame bigger ?
It works perfect after tight the orifice all the way down thanks
Thanks man! This solved my problem.
Oh my God thank you we did exactly the same and it works.
THE UPDATE MANY HAVE ASKED FOR!! :)
Big Joe thanks for the update. I couldn't get the blue flame trying adjustments after adjustments after the swith over and my problem was the brass fitting you pionted to and tightened down (the instructions said just turn til snug) but had ro tighten it way past snug and pow there was the blue. Thanks for making the vid and the update helped me fix my problem stove is good to go thanks to you. Thanks
I like it!
dude you're awesome thank you very much
;)
The instructions in the kit were wrong, the pictures and diagrams were wrong. Thank you so much for letting me see the thing you turn around.
I have to say, when I first started watching this video, I thought, "oh Lord... what a messy vid.", but then I realized that this is EXACTLY what we were doing!!! Jumping around from one thing to the next, etc. HAHA!!! The bottom line, we too had the infamous gap! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this! Do you still have flame coming up out the sides of the oven? (like too much flame?) Do you have something on how to do the broiler? (waist high burner) Thanks again!!!
+Barry Noyce we are Working/baking beautifully flame is perfect if you ask me or the misses. ;) You're welcome, glad to help if I can. The model stove I have only had the adjustments I show in the video. Other than the orifices on the stove top and that is a pretty simple task and why I didn't bother showing how I did it. I don't recall having to mess with the broiler, it's been a while since I did it and I can't remember if I did anything at all. If it was on the top next to the burners or not? I'd look around there.
I did mines but it’s not working what way do I have to turn the thing u turn down
Thank you you same me 100 dollars of service call my wife thank you now she can used the oven i can be in pece😀
how do you see the flames? I can't see what color it is because of all the shields in the way
did you have to close the air gap above the regulator/orphis?
When I bought my house the gas range was already LP. I ran natural gas to the house but I cant find anything on how to convert BACK to natural gas. Is the 1/8 gap appropriate for natural gas? I changed all the orifices and the regulator already.
Will that affect the flame on the burners on top, too? I have a ‘convertible’ stove, and have been suffering with the yellow flame on the top burners, for years....????
the stovetop should have fittings at each burner that needs to be changed/converted over to the fuel type you are using. LP has a higher pressure than NG. I suspect you have NG fittings installed in the stovetop. I am unfamiliar with The "convertible" stove you speak of.
@@BigJoeKasulis Thanks for your response. It’s a Slattery stove from the mid 1980’s. I moved from NY to Ireland, and, not knowing anything about LP or NG, took the stove with me, only to be told that the stove wouldn’t work there. I took the top cover off of the stove, and found a label, indicating that it was a ‘convertible’ stove and could be converted to propane! A guy over here made a fitting so that the propane tank would connect, but never did anything else. I’m reading that there is a fitting that needs to be inverted, so that less air comes in. The stove works - it just covers the bottom of my pots and pans with black carbon...lol
@@Inisfad check this video out it might help get you in the right direction granted its newer but it might help. ruclips.net/video/Zg60bzQyWls/видео.html&ab_channel=KeeperofThemountain
I just completed this conversion but had issues with the oven and broiler - the manual stated to turn down 1 to 1 + 1/2 turns. I still have some yellow - should that be turned down further? Can it be turned down too far causing no gas to flow?
Thanks for the info. good stuff
+Tekno Sapien I turned it as far as I could turn it. I think it would break off before it closed shut but I don't know that for sure.
Thanks for the input I started Turning 1/2 turn more until i reached the blue flame goodness
wat about the regulator at the lp tank did you go to lp company for your tan or you using bottles
+samvan8838 We use the local Lp company for supply and maintenance of the regulator and tank.
how did you adjust the broiler flame? i got may bake (lower) flame good but cant get the broiler (upper) flame right.
+Ralph Stenic Oh... My oven has the broiler on the bottom. It uses the same flame the oven uses. On other ranges the conversion kit should have orifices labeled for each location if you one left then you have to change the broiler orifice also remove the... flame tube I guess you would call it that and change the orifice a few heat shields might need to be removed in order to locate the tube. best I can do with text. hope that helps and you get things going.
Thank you for this video, my husband has been having this exact problem while converting our oven to LP. Just wondering, after conversion, does the oven need to be calibrated to ensure the temps are accurate?
+Angela LaRock Good question... I'm not positive but... I'm pretty sure its a digital thermostat and that reads the box heat. If that's the case then I suspect the readout of the temp is accurate. But I really don't know. Thanks for watching and commenting Much Appreciated!
+BigJoe Kasulis™ Good enough, thanks for getting back to me!
Absolutely If I can I will. Glad everything went well, Cheers!!
PLEASE SHARE!
I was just given a whirlpool gas oven by my cousin the other day, so is it normal for the flames to be pretty large and coming up into the oven space from under the bottom plate? I found it a bit alarming since I've never had an oven that does that before.
This is what I am seeing and I am also wondering if this is normal, now going to look for this regulator he tightned up.
@@simongsmith Yeah I made sure everything was set like he did in the video and tightened that thing down real tight and that did the trick for me.
how do i light the pilot now
So when converting from LP to NG, I do wan't a 1/8+ gap above the nut? thanks
Derek Limbert I would have to agree. It would have a gap and you should be able to adjust the flow from that fitting.
You Rock!!
Thanks ;)
When running on natural gas, you should always install natural gas jets and orifices into the burners.
LPG (butane / propane) and natural gas run at different pressures and as a result, burners designed for one type of gas are not suitable for the other.
Someone Get this guy a Gold Sticker!
For lp, does the hollow point go in or out of the regulator?
+Kevin C The hollow of the fitting should be facing you for LP.
I took the bottom of my oven apart like in the video and the flames were blue, but it glows orange when I use it, is that normal?
if the flames are not shooting thru the vents and into the oven box then I might not worry much, it could need a small air adjustment?
Thanks
lol isn't your camera gonna melt the broiler setting is 500F or Degree
