Possible Causes
Clogged burner ports, Incorrect orifice for gas type (LP vs natural), Low gas pressure, Misadjusted air shutter
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off burners and allow them to cool. Do not attempt gas pressure adjustments unless qualified.
- Clean burner: Remove burner cap and head, clean all ports and surfaces with warm soapy water and a brush. Dry thoroughly.
- Check cap alignment: Ensure the cap is centered and seated flat.
- Verify gas type: Confirm the range is converted correctly for LP or natural gas using the proper Amana conversion kit.
- Air shutter adjustment: Some models have adjustable air shutters on the burner tubes; adjust slightly to correct yellow tipping (more air) or lifting flames (less air). Refer to service manual.
