Have a Kenmore gas grill (415.162140) that I purchased in '04. Used it regularly, but not exactly frequently (it took me 3 years to go thru 1 tank of propane). Worked great until last summer when my local woodland creatures chewed a hole in the gas line leading to the side burner.
The replacement part for the valve and regulator assembly, which includes the hoses (part #4524195) has been discontinued. No replacement or alternate part has been specified by Kenmore that I can find. No standardized replacement regulators and hoses that I've seen in the stores look useful, since the hoses on the Kenmore part are permanantly clamped onto the regular and valves instead of screwed on.
So my question is - is there anything I can do to fix this grill, or is it toast? I considered duct tape, but figured it wasn't safe. (just kidding!) Thanks.
I work for a propane co. I get many customers that bring in their melted or leaking bbq grill hoses and regs. Bring the bad hose/reg to your local propane gas co and see if they can make a custom hose for you. You may have to buy a new regulator to use it with the new hose, but that's better than buying a new grill. Call around first and see which ones can do it. You'll eventually find someone that can fix you up.
Testimonial: "great suggestion - i'll give it a shot. Thank you!"
