Possible Causes
Incorrect simmer valve adjustment, Partially blocked burner orifice, Low gas pressure, Faulty gas regulator
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off gas before disassembling burners. If you suspect a gas leak, shut off the supply and contact a professional.
- Clean burner and orifice: Remove the burner head and gently clean the orifice area with a soft brush. Do not insert metal objects into the orifice.
- Test other burners: If all burners are weak, suspect gas pressure or regulator issues.
- Simmer adjustment (technician): On some Gaggenau models, the simmer flame can be adjusted via a screw near the valve stem. A technician should adjust this to achieve a stable low flame.
- Check regulator: Have a qualified technician test and, if necessary, replace the gas pressure regulator supplied with the Gaggenau unit.
