I have a new LG gas range and I'm very disappointed in the burners uneven flame distribution. It makes slow simmering without stirring difficullt. The repair tech told us that, that's the way they're designed now. This doesn't make sense. Is there a gas range available that I can count on to have even flame distribution?
Thank you,
Pam
Hello Kevin, I'm not looking for a stove with burners all the same size. It doesn't matter the size of the burners, I'm looking for gas burners that when turned on have even flame distribution. If you cook you would understand the frustration in using burners with uneven flame distribution.Hello Kevin,

Hello &
Welcome to FixYa
You can
select the range that has burners of all same size, I believe Frigidaire Ranges
are much better then any other. Please get back to me if you have any other

Most burners have an adjustment under the knob. Pull off the knob and use a slender flathead screwdriver. Turn burner down to low, insert screwdriver into knob shaft and rotate internal screw until flame is at "simmer" height. Can adjust each burner separately this way.
try thoroughly cleaning the burners, particularly the holes in the ring that the gas come through. The gas come through to heat the ignitor so that the ignitor knows to stop trying to light the burner ; if the holes are clogged the ignitor doesn't heat.
The burner is easily disassembled from the top by removing a thin bolt, and you can clear the holes with a paper clip.
Hello, It would seem like reasonable thing to do.However the adjustment is typically for the low setting so you can adjust just the small flame just enough to simmer a pot without the flame going out from being so low its susuptable to going out on the low setting, also it so you can adjust the flame smaller so on low it isnt too high,causing it will boil when you intend to only simmer a dish your cooking. A question;is it all burners and have they always been that way?
call in a gas fitter as the jets for the propane are probably incorrect.
the jets for lpg and nat gas are different in size and they may not have needed changing at all
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.
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.
that maybe that it's on the propane settings fron the factory on the regulator, and it's running on natural gas.Or if you see that the burners go smaller and smaller as you turn one burner after the other. if that replace the regulator. you can also get bigger flames when you make the orifises bigger. that's what supplies gas to the burners.
