Regulator vibration The regulator on my Weber Baby Q is vibrating - loudly enough to hear a light humming sound. It (reg) is also very cold to the touch. The flame was still burning, gas supply is adequate, however I turned it off. I suspect the regulator needs replacement, but is it more than that?

Hello,
If you are using a disposable propane bottle, make sure it is not horizontal when it's hooked up. It should be at a 45 degree angle or higher. You may be getting liquid out of the bottle (instead of vapor) at the angle you have it hooked up. Hope this helps. Douglas

After I turn off my car I hear the sound of a motor running and a black tube-like cable vibrates. What is it?

It probably is your radiator cooling fan. It will run until the car temperature drops to near level temperature The line vibrating is more than likely just vibration of the which is nothing unusual.Hope this helps;

Regulator hums when in use and barbeque gets excessively hot

You have the bottle valve opened all the way, the gas is rushing through the regulator making the diaphragm vibrate which is the humming noise you are hearing. With the gas flowing like that, you are basically preventing the ability to control temperature so the grill gets way hot. The best thing to do is to open the valve one full turn only and then light the grill...if you can't get it hot enough after that, then open the valve another full turn...you should never have to open that valve all the way...if you start having to do that then the bottle is almost empty and needs to refilled.

Noisy pressure regulator

This is on the Weber site, under support. I have been experiencing the same problem and have not used it because of it.

Humming or whistling from the regulator: Outside temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and the gas level within the tank may cause the rubber diaphragm inside the regulator to vibrate, making a humming or whistling sound. Although this sound may be alarming, this is NOT dangerous as long as it is not accompanied by the smell of gas. If the humming sound persists, a change in atmospheric conditions will eventually stop the vibration.
