Humming or
whistling from the
regulator Outside temperature, humidity,
barometric pressure, and the
gas level within cylinder may
cause rubber diaphragm inside
the regulator to vibrate, with a
humming or whistling sound. Although this sound may be alarming, this is NOT dangerous as
long as it is not accompanied by the smell of gas. Simply adjust
the burner settings and usually the sound will subside. If the
humming sound persists, a change in atmospheric conditions will
eventually stop the vibration. Should you smell gas, do not use the
grill and call Customer Service at 1-800-251-7558
