Is your gas grill becoming a hassle? Well before you throw in the towel and spend an exorbitant amount of money on a new gas grill, check it, there could be a quick and easy solution! Use these common issues and solutions as your guidelines; you can make your grill work like brand new again. This is very useful if further clarification is needed. It is very important to remember to exercise safety when troubleshooting- make sure the grill is off and cool to the touch!
Issue: Your gas grill flame is cold and low.
Reason: there are a multitude of reasons so the optimum troubleshooting method would be to scrutinize the grill in its entirety and scope out the offender.
Resolution: Initially make sure that there is no visible dirt near the burner then start your gas grill and look for areas where there is little to no flame. In these areas with low flame the burner is most likely blocked- power down the grill, make sure it cools down and clean the base of the burner and discard the remains.
If this proves unsuccessful, look to see if the venturi tubes are congested.
Ensure that all the tubes and valves of your gas grill are properly linked and functioning. It is possible that the fuel regulator is retarding the gas flow so attempt disconnecting and reconnecting it.
Issue: The flame in your gas grill is too cold. It burns orange or yellow when it should be burning blue with yellow tips.
Reason: It could be the same as the aforementioned problem.
Resolution: If those solutions do not work you most likely need to play around with the venturi shutters. Set your gas grill to the lowest setting then turn the adjustment screw until the flame turns blue. The shutters are now loosened. To avoid further issues power down the grill and retighten the screw.
