I am having an intemittent problem with wild orange flames on all burners. It happened 2 weeks ago, went back to normal, and now it is happening again. At low/simmer, the flame seems normal and blue. Help!
It is normal, it will disappear after a little while, when you bang on the burners, particle fell off form inside of the burners and it caused the orange flame. Yellow flame means not enough air or burner is internal clogged.

Get a service person to adjust the gas pressure. If done improperly you will be somewhere in the wild blue looking back at what use to be your domicile.
The flames should be all blue - except when you first turn it on, where the flame begins, & only when you turn it on. Orange flames mean incomplete combustion is happening. Carbon monoxide is being released. Orange flames can also mean your getting low on gas. Clean it & try moving the disk around. An uneven disc means some flames will be higher & burn your pots. The flames are wrapping around your pots if they're burning on the sides. Keep flames under the pot. Regardless of the being clean, the odor means you need to check your gas level. Once filled back, the odor should be gone if that's the only problem. That is placed in the gas as a safety feature. Don't try to fix this problem yourself if the "easy" solutions don't work. It could be very dangerous. Invest in a carbon monoxide detector especially when you have anything gas.
Take a real good look at your ignitor. If it is dim orange it is weak and won't open the gas safety valve. It should be very bright. It oughta not take but 1 or 2 minutes to light the stove
Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.
i would take all units out and clean them..clean all holes in the burners. since you have the problem on all burners..air/fuel is not the problem at the adjustments..you may have a gas regulator problem

try it with the window open and again closed. if flames are good with window open you will need fit an air brick in the wall or unblock the brick you have.
A <i>temporary</i> orange flame from your gas stove can also occur at peak usage times. An increase in local demand can cause a decrease in pressure in the natural gas line. If all of your gas appliances are in combustion simultaneously, this may also cause a drop in pressure, especially in older houses. If the problem persists, it is likely a dirty/clogged burner or the stove needs servicing. In general, an orange flame (on a gas combustion appliance) means incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide production.
This is not a solution but something to think about for troubleshooting. On the DCS there are two ports that feed gas to the burner. One for high flame and one for simmer. On the DCS if the flame is snuffed out on simmer it will automatically reignite. So if the igniter will not shut off while on simmer, the sensor is bad and is trying to reignite the burner.
