The Front burner lights but only a small blue flame appears.
Only after blowing on the back burner, with the Rear knob on High, will it light, but the small blue flame appears across there as well. Blowing on the small the blue flame on the Front Burner can be blown out with the knob in HIGH position. The Tank is 3/4 Full and the entire front burner does light, but with about a 3/16" blue flame. Grill was purchased in 2003 and was last used in October 2009. I use about 1/2 tank of propane per year.

Light rear burner on stove, turn to high. Light other rear burner, turn to high. Flame height / spread should not have changed. Light front burner, watch rear, put on high. If flame on rear changes, you have a problem with has pressure on your propane system. Perhaps regulator, perhaps out of propane.
If flames stay same, turn off stove. Go to back of fridge, make sure shutoff has valve is open fully. Close and reopen. Check operation. What color is flame? If yellow, you have a blockage in air inlet of burner assembly. It will need to be pulled and checked, or problem with burner itself. If blue, but still small, take your coach to t.v. service and ask for a propane diagnostic with concentration of measurements at fridge. Might still have blockage though.
That is food/grease buildup. Clean the holes. TURN OFF GAS to stove, then just clean the holes in the burners with a soft wire brush. Then turn gas back on and immediately relight pilot lights. If that sounds scary, call your gas company, they might come out and help.
see this causes and fix it. God bless you o light the pilot on a standing-pilot (always on) ignition system,
follow the lighting instructions located near the control. Otherwise,
try these steps:
Light the pilot:
Press and hold the pilot control knob to start the pilot.
Set the control knob to the
pilot position. Hold a long match under the pilot gas port.
Press the control knob; the pilot should light. Hold the control
knob down until the flame is burning brightly (about 30 seconds).
Release pressure on the knob, and turn it to the
on position.
If the pilot goes out when you release the control knob, try
relighting, holding the control knob down longer. If the pilot again
goes out, check the thermocouple (below).
Adjust the pilot:
Remove any cap covering the pilot adjusting screw on a combination control.
Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise to increase the flame or
clockwise to decrease it. It is correctly adjusted when the flame
envelops the thermocouple bulb by 1/2 inch and appears dark blue with a
small yellow tip.
Test and replace a thermocouple:
Hold the control knob to
pilot and light the pilot as above.
Unscrew the thermocouple fitting with an open-ended wrench.
Set a multimeter to the DVC (lowest voltage) scale.
Clip one multimeter lead to the end of the thermocouple tube
nearest the pilot and the other lead to the fitting on the other end of
the tube.
If the multimeter shows a reading besides zero, the thermocouple is functioning. Replace the thermocouple tube.
If there is no reading, you will need to clean or replace the thermocouple following steps 7 through 11.
Release the control knob and shut off the main gas valve on the
gas-supply pipe that leads into the burner. Shut off power to the burner
at the electrical service panel.
Remove the thermocouple from its mounting bracket.
Wipe the combination control clean and install a new thermocouple,
tightening it by hand, then give it a one-quarter turn with a wrench.
Insert the thermocouple into the pilot bracket, being careful to not crimp the tubing.
Turn on power to the furnace and relight the pilot (above).
Adjust an adjustable burner air shutter:
Set the thermostat to its highest setting to keep the burner
running. Once the furnace has heated up, remove the burner access panel
and loosen the locking screw.
Open the shutter by turning it to the right until the blue base of
the flame appears to lift slightly from the burner port surface. Then
close the shutter until the flame reseats itself on the surface.
Clean removable burner tubes and ports:
Shut off gas and power to the furnace.
Unscrew or loosen and remove the tubes from the supporting bracket.
Carefully clean the tubes with a brush or vacuum, making sure not to damage the burner ports.
Use a stiff wire to clear any debris from clogged ports.
There is an air port near the adjustment knob. Open for a more blue flame and close for a yellow flame. If these haven't been moved before, you probably have a clogged jet at the burner. Just clean it out with a pin.
When your furnace comes on have you checked to see what type of flame you have on the burners .They should have nice sharp arrow shape being mostly brite blue with a small amount of yellow,also flame should be setting on top of burners and not floating. If flame quality is not good then shut heater down and allow time for it to cool. Most burners can be easily removed by pushing forward on burner and lifting front end up slightly.Then move burner to clear orifice and remove. You can very lightly tap front end of burner on wood or some other material to loosen rust dirt or other material from top of burner. Lightly brush burner opening with soft wire brush and dump or blow out . Do one burner at a time replacing them as you go.
If I can be of more help to you please give me more information as to type and age of unit. Thank you
Every one of these ranges that I have seen with the oval style burner on them have a smaller flame then the normal round burners. And there is very little difference between the low and high settings. It sounds like what you are experiencing is normal. What the GE repairman was adjusting is called the "simmer stop". There is a small flat head screw inside the burner stem. By turning this screw you can adjust the size of the burner on the low position of the burner knob. This should be adjusted to where the burner still stays on when the knob is at the lowest setting. I do not think that you need the burner repaired. From my experience they are all like that.
It sounds like the grill just needs a good cleaning, plus when you do clean it check that the burner tubes and orfaces are free of any debris.
The orface is a tiny hole inside a small brass threaded insert where the gas blows through into the burner tubes, it is very critical that this is clear as well as the burner tubes.
Lift the top of the Stove up.
Look for a Small line that goes to the Affected Burner.
At the end of that Line you will see a small Flathead Screw.
Turning That screw Clockwise Adjusts your Pilot Light for that Burner.
Be careful not to Adjust to High, it would just be a Waist of gas.
The most common problem for gas surface burners is that they get gas but don't light. This is generally caused by dirt or grease splatters on the burner itself. Residential-grade range/stove burners are round and have small holes around their perimeter to allow gas to flow out and create a round flame. The gas coming from these holes is often ignited by a small vertical row of holes on the side of the burner. If these vertical holes are clogged or obstructed, the gas can't ignite.
The solution is to clean the burners thoroughly. Use a toothpick to clear the small vertical holes, then allow the burner to dry completely and try lighting it again. If it doesn't light immediately, repeat the procedure
all gas range ovens have a small metal box in the back upper area of the broiler burner; a gas line runs into this box as do two wires; this is a "flame control " gas valve; the way it works is: after the pilot has been lit as you turn the oven temp control a heating element in the box causes a small valve to open allowing a larger amount of gas into the oven burner to ignite the whole burner If you can only get pilot flame on high replace this valve
It is clean.
