Gas range problem

[Rich123]

What would cause my gas range top burners to partially ignite or fail t

ignite completely only while my oven is used

Did it just start doing this?

That sounds like the pressure is too high or the burners themselves have not been properly adjusted. If it has been fine and just stared doing it on all the burners, then I would suspect a regulator defect giving you too high a gas pressure. However it is has always been this way, I would suspect the burners need to be adjusted. The owner's or install manual should have the instructions for doing this. Most people can do it themselves.

Hi,

Approx age, model, make?

Gas pressure would one of the first things that would come to mind on that. If the pressure regulator is a little wishy/washy turning more items on may lower the pressure enough that the surface can't work.

Will the surface burners work ok when the oven is not in use?

This is Turtle.

Jeff has a thing to check list for problem on these stoves and go to his sight and check it out.

Low pressure. Lack of gas (near empty) if you are using propane.

Low gas line pressure? Partially closed shutoff valve? Kinked flextube behind range?

Learning question: why would _increased_ pressure cause Rich123's problem? Seems like slightly low pressure would be more logical -- enough gas pressure for the top elements or the oven but not both. (Never claimed just because it sounds logical to me it's right, which is why I'm asking. :) )
