I have a natural gas grill that connects to a wall-mounted natural gas outlet mounted on my deck. The gas outlet has a quick-connect and an on- off valve. It has been working fine for 2 years, but suddenly, I'm not getting any gas flow. The gas on/off to the house is definitely "on" since our other gas appliances are working normally.
Here's what I've found so far.
With the gas hose plugged into the wall outlet, I turned on the wall mounted on/off valve and tried to fire up the grill. But no gas came to the burners. Thinking there might be a blockage in the hose or grill control, I turned the gas valve off and disconnected the gas hose. I immediately checked the was no smell of gas at the connection end of the hose.
Next, I blew into the hose. I could hear air hissing out of the grill burner holes, so there's no blockage in the hose or the grill's gas control.
The problem seems to be with quick-connect fitting and/or the on-off valve on the wall. The quick connect seems to connect securely, and the snap-ring that holds the hose securely in place seems to be seating correctly.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any tips? (To set your mind at ease, I'm NOT about to start doing my own repairs on gas appliances! I just thought it might be something simple and obvious.)
