Jerry Cloud September 18, 2015 for Model Number CPR1100ADW HI, I have replaced the regulator on my PROPANE stove with this regulator PS4082647. The pressure is too low. How do I adjust it? Thank you
1 Answer Jerry, Did you convert the regulator to the LP Gas setting ? You don't really adjust the regulator, You'll need to remove the center cap, flip the pin located in the cap and reinstall " Remove cap and forcibly snap out plastic plunger from bottom of cap. Turn plunger over and forcibly snap back in the original location. Note: PLUNGER MUST SNAP INTO POSITIONT: THE GAS TYPE YOU AREC ONVERTING TO MUST BE VISIBLE ON THE LOWER SIDE OF PLUNGER."

Mary October 25, 2013 for Model Number 8114P351-60 This oven came with the house about 13 years ago, I have no idea how old it is but it has worked fine until now. The oven turns on but does not get up to the correct temperature to cook foods or bake. What part do you think is going bad? Do I need to replace the entire oven?
1 Answer Hello Mary. You need the thermostat. However, that model number is not a good model number. Here is a link to help you locate the correct model number. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Jim October 01, 2013 for Model Number MagicChef CGR1420BDW The old gas valve in the oven was leaking when the oven was shut off. So a new vale was ordered and when installed it burned with large yellow flames, heavy exhaust smell and load flow noise. I assumed the new valve was defective because when I put the old valve back in it burned fine except for the leak. I was returning the first new valve and ordered a second and it is doing the same as the first. Any suggestions? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Jim. New valve is set for Natural gas and you are using LP. You need to convert it. Read More...
Judd July 16, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore wall oven not sure # Recently the bake feature worked and then one day it started loosing heat. The gas stopped going to it, some times it will work but now it will not work at all. The broil feature works fine. Is it the pressure regulator?
1 Answer Hello Judd. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Tom K June 24, 2013 for Model Number 3110PRW labeled Magic Chef 7 months ago i changed from gas to LP ussing 20gal gas from my grille. Had no prolems until a week ago i changed tanks and lit the pilos and it restarted fine. Then i went to use the stove to cook and pilots would not light. Tried th oved and nothing. Thought it was a bad tank of gas but tried it on grille and it started o.k. I have a pressure regulator at the tank and the one on the stove. Why won't it relight ?
1 Answer Tom, You'll need to test the pressure at the regulator on the tank. It needs to have a minimum of 10 WCI and a maximum of 14 WCI to the stove regulator WP7510P083-60. We take for granted you have properly converted the regulator and burner valves to the LP gas configuration. So you'll need to check the pressure at the top burner valve farthest away from the regulator, with all the burners on and operating and check for the same pressure at the burner, This will confirm whether the regulator is at fault or not. You'll need to access or make up a manometer to perform these tests. You may have "crud" in the supply lines and tubing from the tank interior. Read More...
Mike T May 30, 2013 for Model Number maytag CWG3600AAS My oven do not light, I check the igniter, it is good 3.6 A. I took out the pressure regulator, I found that the hole between the inlet and the outlet is very small only 0.020" or less. Is this why I do not get gas thru?
1 Answer Mike, You will want to test for power at the coils of the safety valve. If there is not 3.2 to 3.6 v then the igniter is bad and if there is then the safety valve is bad. you would check from bake to common with unit set to bake and from Broil to common with broil set. Read More...
Chris March 24, 2013 for Model Number Hardwick Magic Chef H3131 XRW I got this stove used and I'm not sure if it is set up for Natural gas or Propane. I'm trying to run it on propane but the top burners flames burn orange. Does the stove need to have 110VAC for the oven to work? I tried to download the manual for the stove from your webpage but I got a Fridge manual instead. Thanks for the help.
1 Answer Hello Chris, If the brass fitting on top of the oven valve, (item number 4 on our parts display), is screwed all the way down, it is set up for LP. If it can be turned down, (tightened), about 2 turns, it was set up for Natural gas. Read More...
Tj March 19, 2013 for Model Number magic chef 31HN-92KW Having trouble lighting range. Electric ignitor clicks but will not light burners or oven. I do not smell any gas. Did light the other day with a match, but tht flames was very low. Is it the ignitor or something else? TJ
1 Answer Hello TJ. If the flame is low, you may have a bad pressure regulator on the unit. You need to check the pressure coming to the unit to make sure it is correct. Read More...
Deb February 21, 2013 for Model Number Mgr5751bdw My burners work. Oven lights takes awhile it use to take 5 min to preheat now its more like 15. The problem is when using oven I hear a surging sounds like its starving for gas don't smell any though. It started as once in awhile but is happening more and more often . What's the difference in the gas pressure valve and a pressure regulator or a regulator valve?
1 Answer Hello Deb. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Minnie September 08, 2012 for Model Number 31211XAW I have a natural gas oven. The top burners work fine, however the stove stopped working. I do not smell gas nor hear gas going through any lines. At times the pilot turns red, but no flame. Is this the regulator?
1 Answer Hello Minnie, If the ignitor is only getting red, it is probably the issue. When the ignitor draws the 3.2 to 3.6 amps of current required to open the safety valve, it will turn orange or almost white hot. There will also be an area or spot on the grey ceramic ignitor material. The best way to test the ignitor is with a clamp on ampmeter TJCL1100. The factory says you can test for resistance, but since heat increases resistance and the ignitor gets so hot, the cold resistance test is not reliable. Read More...
