Possible Causes
Dirty burner ports, Incorrect or partially blocked orifice, Wrong gas type (NG vs LP) or missing conversion, Low gas pressure from regulator
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn burner OFF and allow components to cool before cleaning.
- Clean burner:
- Remove grate and burner cap.
- Clean the burner head and ports with warm soapy water; dry thoroughly.
- Use a soft brush or toothpick to clear each port.
- Check cap alignment: Ensure the cap is properly seated and not rocking.
- Verify gas type: Confirm the range is configured for your gas type (natural gas or LP). If recently converted, ensure the correct Midea conversion kit was used.
Persistent yellow or lazy flames indicate an air shutter or regulator issue; have a qualified gas technician adjust or replace the regulator or orifices.
