How to adjust the gas valve for an optimal flame on a stove burner

Posted by Samurai Appliance Repair Man, in Oven-Range-Stove Repair 12 February 2012 · 748 views

If you're having a problem with a burner on your gas stove where the flame is either too big or too little for the setting (and compared to the other burner flames) well, as Brother jumptrout says...

You may want to try an adjustment to see if it corrects this issue.
Turn the valve on.
Adjust it to the decreased flame position.
Remove the valve knob.
Take a very small flat blade screwdriver and insert it in the knob shaft.
Carefully and slowly turn the adjustment screw to increase/decrease the flame size.
All surface burners should be on and lit will making this adjustment.
After the adjustment is made,turn the burner hi and lo to make sure it stays lit.
If it goes out,re-adjust until it stays on.
I am still checking on your valve. There is a possibility all valves and manifold have to be changed out.

Dacor Product Service Bulletin
Complaint : Failure Code F1


For steadly F1 codes:
1. Leave the power on, as the F1 signals showing on display.
Carefully take down the control panel or the maintop and access the back of the ERC/CLOCK.

2. Find the flat ribbon coming off from the membrane (touch pad) going into the ERC/CLOCK.

3. While the F1 is signaling, press cancel/secure and immediately disconnect the touch pad going into the ERC.
If the Membrane is faulty, the F1 will cease, then replace the membrane.

For Continuing F1
After the above is completed follow the steps below.
Inspect the Molex plug connection from the ERC to to the relay board for a shorted connection.
Check relay board for cracked solder joints at the connection.

ERC with F1 Failure
The F1 must be displayed in the ERC for this test.
At the ERC check for 24 VDC at the J2 connector between pins 1 and 3 for single / lower oven.
At the J5 connector between 7 and 10 for the lower oven (when the oven is not in a cooking mode).
if you read 24 VDC at those test points, replace the ERC/CLOCK.

Easy way to calibrate the oven temperature in a Frigidaire range (works on many other brands, too)

To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Check to be sure the Temperature control knob is in the OFF position .
2. Pull Temperature control knob straight off the shaft.
3. On the back of the knob, there is a series of 5 small grooves.
One of these grooves is positioned next to a tiny pointer.
Note the position of the pointer.
Loosen the two screws on the back of the knob (Figure 1).
Note: If knob does not have 2 screws, it is not adjustable.
4. To increase or decrease the temperature, move the pointer in the direction of "Raise" or "Lower" to change the temperature accordingly.
The temperature can be adjusted in increments as indicated on the back of the knob.
5. When the desired adjustment is reached, tighten both screws.
6. To replace the knob, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft.
Push the knob into place. DO NOT force the Temperature control knob onto the shaft or you may damage the back of the knob.
Note: Once an adjustment is made, the OFF position will vary from the reference mark on the backguard depending on the amount of adjustment.

A Warning from the Masters: Do not run oven Self-Clean cycle this close to a Holiday!

Posted by Samurai Appliance Repair Man, in Oven-Range-Stove Repair 21 December 2011 · 445 views

It happens every year...

It's a day or two before a Major Holiday and the oven is looking a little crusty. So you decide to run the self-clean cycle. When you return to what you hoped would be a clean oven, you find a locked oven door and an error code on the display. Even if you can get a technician to your home before thanksgiving, it's likely he will not have the needed part. Your holiday dinner is now seriously screwed.

It is very common for a stove to fail during a clean cycle. The self-clean cycles generate interior temperatures in the range of 850 degrees F. That why the doors lock, if you were to open the door at 850 F, you would burn your eyebrows off. The clean cycle also uses parts and circuits that are seldom used. When you add the severe heat, you are subjecting the oven to the highest stresses it ever sees.

My rule is this..

If it is less than 2 weeks before a major holiday, do not use the clean cycle.

Tell your all friends.

Nick
