Kenmore 415.165059 - Manual (Page 25)

EMERGENCIES: If a gas leak cannot be stopped, or a fire occurs due to gas leakage, call the fire department.
Emergencies Possible Cause Prevention/Solution
Gas leaking from
cracked/cut/burned
hose.
•Damaged hose. •Turn off gas at LP cylinder or at source on natural gas systems. If
anything but burned, replace valve/hose/regulator. If burned,
discontinue use of product until a plumber has investigated cause
and corrections are made.
Gas leaking from LP
cylinder.
•Mechanical failure due to rusting or
mishandling.
•Replace LP cylinder.
Gas leaking from LP
cylinder valve.
• Failure of cylinder valve from
mishandling or mechanical failure.
• Turn off LP cylinder valve. Return LP cylinder to gas supplier.
Gas leaking between
LP cylinder and
regulator connection.
•Improper installation, connection not
tight, failure of rubber seal.
•Turn off LP cylinder valve. Remove regulator from cylinder and
visually inspect rubber seal for damage. See LP Cylinder Leak Test
and Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder.
Fire coming through
control panel.
• Fire in burner tube section of burner due
to blockage.
•Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to
allow flames to die down. After fire is out and grill is cold, remove
burner and inspect for spider nests or rust. See Natural Hazard
and Cleaning the Burner Assembly pages.
Grease fire or
continuous excessive
flames above cooking
surface.
• Too much grease buildup in burner area. • Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to
allow flames to die down. After cooling, clean food particles and
excess grease from inside firebox area, grease tray, and other
surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Prevention/Solution
Burner(s) will not light
using ignitor.
(See Electronic Ignition
Troubleshooting also)
Continued on next
page.
GAS ISSUES:
• Trying to light wrong burner.
• Burner not engaged with control valve.
• Obstruction in burner.
• No gas flow.
• See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section.
• Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.
• Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other
matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.
• Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty,
refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow.”
• Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP cylinder. • Turn off knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder.
Reconnect and retry.
• Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not
fully connected.
• Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters
additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use
tools.
ELECTRICAL ISSUES:
•Electrode cracked or broken; “sparks at
crack.”
• Replace electrode(s).
•Electrode tip not in proper position. Main Burners:
• Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner. The distance should be 1/8” to 1/4”. Adjust if necessary.
Sideburner:
• Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner, the distance should be 1/8” to 3/16”. Adjust if necessary.
•Wire and/or electrode covered with
cooking residue.
•Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.
•Wires are loose or disconnected. •Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.
•Wires are shorting (sparking) between
ignitor and electrode.
•Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.
•Dead battery. •Replace with a new AA-size alkaline battery.
