Oven flames too high on newly converted gas stove.

did you install the conversion kit correctly ---you just cant change the lines from natural to propane need correct conversion kit

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.)

When converting from natural gas to propane you have to switch the regulator to propane. then on most modern stoves you have to turn the orifice hoods down to adjust for the higher pressure of propane. there are some stoves that you have to purchase a propane conversion kit with different orifices for the burners and oven burners.

Yes, you need a conversion kit. Here is the one to order.

Hello Carlos - Does you range have an LP conversion kit installed? If so, I would recommend verifying that unit is set to appropriate fuel and fuel conversion kit is finished. Also trying adjusting the pressure regulator and/or air shutter.

There should be a set of orifices for each burner as well as the oven and broiler. When the unit was converted to propane, these orifices should have been replaced and the ones for gas put in with the conversion kit installation information. The kit should have been reattached near the pressure regulator.

If the kit was missing the orifices, then, yes, you are missing pieces. Check with your coworker if the conversion kit was missing. If you have the kit, it can be easily done by any appliance installer (or repair person) licensed for handling NG. (At least on our range, the conversion kit installation was straight forward. Every orifice was clearly labeled with the labels different for each burner and for the gas/LP kits (ABCD (NG) vs MNOP (LP)) .) The regulator is the only part that switched for LP or NG without the kit.

As I recall, the only tools we needed for the top burners were a small wrench (10 mm) and a small flat blade screwdriver. Remove one orifice and put in the appropriate replacement. Then adjust the burners so that they didn't blow out when the oven was opened or quickly turned from high to low (for the simmer burner). The oven and broiler took a bit longer. Several screws had to be removed to get at the orifices. Then the air flow had to be adjusted for the incoming gas.

I hope this helps.

(the conversion installation manual was on the counter during installation; I read it while it was open.)

On the regulator of the stove there is a knot tha you swich to propane it have the latters lp or nat.swich it to Lp. you most open the air vents on all the burners.

its going to be listed in the installation manual ,not use and care, youre going to need to convert oven for lp gas. i would call the manufacture with the modelk number and ask for hte coorect conversin kit, for such a thing

so you stove was converted from natural gas to LP using WB28K10043 KIT-CONVERSION L.P. ? is this correct?

Just bought a Kenmore and did this conversion myself. You do not change the oven nozzle (jets) but have to wrench it down with a 1/2" wrench as per instructions. After I did this the falme was high as you described. I wrenched it down further and adjusted the air shuttle and it was fine. The brioler is done the same. The wrench adjustment is tight so be aware.
