I replaced the dual valve in a kenmore gas oven. The cone over the orfice in the oven came set for NG. How do I set it for LP?

I can't find the model number that you gave. I did find other GE XL44 ranges.

Near the gas regulator of the range, there should be a conversion kit. You'll need to pull the range away from the wall to find the kit. Turn the gas shut-off to stop the gas flow and unplug the range for safety. The conversion kit includes the instructions for doing NG -> LP and back. The pictures here, https://www.appliancepartspros.com/door-drawer-parts-for-ge-jgbs20bea1ad.html , may help you find the gas line parts.

There are a number of steps for the conversion. First, you need to flip a cap in the range's regulator. (When sold, the part is set for NG. You take it out and replace it after flipping it over (180) for LP.)

For the stove top, take off the burner grates and burners.
Next, you have to remove each burner orifice spuds (7 mm nut driver, IIRC) one at a time. Place the appropriate replacement orifice in that location. The orifice spuds are below the range surface so avoid dropping the parts. Each orifice spud has a letter with a different set of letters used for the NG and LP versions.

Inside the oven, you need to access the oven orifice spud. This requires taking off panels inside the oven. Replace the orifice spud, as with the surface burners. You'll also need to adjust the air flow for the oven.

Finally, turn the gas shut-off valve to on and plug in the power cord. Test the burners and adjust them following the directions in the instructions.

There is a blurb about finding the conversion kit and instructions on page 42 of the user's guide, available on the product page: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-30-Free-Standing-XL44-Standard-Clean-Gas-Range-JGBS20BEAAD . The current link to the manual is https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-85135.PDF .

I hope this helps.

(Since LP and NG pressures are very different, I hope your range was already converted to the LP regulator and orifice studs. Then all you just need to adjust the air/gas ratio to get a blue flame.)

The Jenn-Air Broiler LP broiler orifice is part number: AP4091112. A picture of the part is here: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/Appliance-Parts/whirlpool-orifice--broiler--lp--item-number-ap4091112.aspx . (To me the number looks like 65 to me. The natural gas version is number 47.)

Check the current draw at the igniter. (The meter must be in series with the igniter. I know the bake igniter needs to be above 3.2A.) Other possible causes of the problem are a selector switch problem or the glow bar. (These are things to check if the oven works.)

I hope this helps.

that simple, all you can do it go to place where you can buy a LP orfice and LP regulator and remove all NG orfice and regulator out and install all LP orfice and regulator you ready to go for LP..

Not really sure which model you have but when converting the over, ether bake or broil burner you tighten down the orfice cap. If you remove the burner off the oven valve you will notice that you can put a wrench on the orfice cap. Just tighten snuggly. If you over tighten you will crush the orfice under the cap.

some ranges are adjusted on the unit, others you need to go to an appliance parts store and get them to order you a convervsion kit from ng to lp. the model you have given is incomplete i would need the rest to check this further for you. there should be a prefix ahead of the 468130 i.e. 110 - 468130??

Natural gas and LP gas run on different pressures. If it has been set up to run on LP and you hook it up to natural the burners will be very small and may not light due to LP works on a higher pressure than natural. If it is set up for natural and you use propane the flames could be way overgassed. One thing to check is what the appliance regulator spring is set for. There will be a cap on the regulator and when you remove the cap there is usually a small metal ring inside that sets the spring tension by flipping it's position. On top of the ring it will say NAT or LP. Now if you find this ring set on NAT then the appliance was probably running on Natural Gas and vice versa. If it is set up for LP and you go to Natural than the orfices can be drilled out and the appliance regulator tension cap flipped. If it is set up for Natural and you go to LP than it is best to replace the orfices with LP ones.

hi, there is an orfice for the oven located on the gas valve. If you are using LP gas, the orfice should be turn down all the way (counter clockwise). If you are using natural gas, the orfice should be turned out about 2-1/2 turns. Was this oven set up to be used with one gas and noe is being used with another? If so, you will need to do more then adjust orfices. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversion manual that came with my 790 specifies 2.5 turns (approximately) from the LP setting to the NG setting.

If you didn't keep the original orfices for natural then you need too buy the burner orfices seperatly, and the oven regulator just needs adjusted you can go the frigidaires web site and download the installation instructions for the proper settings.
