Possible Causes

Partially clogged burner ports, Incorrect gas pressure or regulator setting, Wrong orifice for LP/natural gas, Misadjusted air shutter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn burners OFF and allow them to cool. If you suspect gas supply issues, contact your gas provider or a licensed gas technician.

Cleaning and alignment:

  • Remove burner caps and heads; clean ports with a soft brush and warm soapy water. Rinse and dry completely.
  • Ensure burner caps are correctly centered when reinstalled.

Gas type and pressure:

  • Verify the range is configured for your gas type (natural gas vs LP). Check the rating plate and installation manual.
  • If the home recently converted gas type, confirm that the correct Samsung conversion kit and regulator setting were used.

Professional adjustment: If flames remain weak or yellow after cleaning and verifying gas type, a technician should check manifold pressure, regulator, and air shutters.
