Why is my gas burner sputtering?
Burner Hisses or Sputters If your gas burner is hissing, sputtering, or burning a yellow flame, it is not operating efficiently. The problem is caused by too much or too little air being supplied to the flame. Locate the faulty burner’s air shutter. This is often near the front of the appliance.
Why are my gas stove burners not working properly?
Instead, the burners are not getting enough gas to create accurately sized flames. If there are no blockages in the burner head and the cap is sat evenly, it is mostly like a problem with the regulator in your stove that controls gas pressure. This will require replacement.
Why is there smoke coming out of my gas burner?
Conversely, if the flame is tall, weak, produces smoke, is reddish in colour and flickers a lot, there is not enough air in the gas/air mixture produced inside the burner. Depending on the particular problem you are experiencing, adjust the air shutter to allow either a greater quantity or a lesser quantity of air to enter the burner.
Why is the flame higher on one side of my Stove?
The Flame is Higher on One Side If one side of your burner is wildly too high and the other side looks very weak, it is an indicator of an improperly positioned burner cap. When you bump the burner or have taken off the cap to clean your stove, it can lead to a misaligned burner cap.
How do you fix a gas stove that Burns unevenly?
What essentially happens is that the cap sits up higher on one side, letting out more gas and covers the burner holes on the other side, letting out less gas. This leads to uneven flames. The fix is very easy and requires no repair. You simply need to turn off the burner and let it cool.
