Gas regulator tripped

You are either out of gas or your excess flow valve tripped. First check for gas in your cylinder. Typically a full cylinder weighs about 30 pounds and about 17-18 when it's empty. You can weigh it on a household scale. Or better yet, use a gauge.

If you have gas, you may have tripped the excess flow valve. So, turn off the control and tank knobs and wait 30 seconds. Turn on the tank valve slowly, then light grill according to lighting instructions. If flames are still low, repeat this process up to three times. If this process fails, the excess flow valve may have become stuck in the regulator and the regulator will need to be replaced.

Yellow flames instead of blue

Regulator Pressure

The most common cause of yellow flames is low gas pressure from the regulator, which is an easy fix that you can do at home.

1. Open the grill lid.

2. Turn off all knobs on the control panel in front.

3. Turn off the tank knob. * Disconnect the regulator from the propane tank.

4. Wait 30 seconds. * Reconnect the regulator to the propane tank.

5. Slowly open the propane tank knob all the way open.

6. Turn on the appropriate control knob and light the grill per the instructions on the control panel.



If these steps helped, you can prevent the regulator from getting stuck again. You’ll want to make sure that you turn off the control knobs before turning off the valve on the propane tank. But, if this doesn't help and the flames are large and still yellow, you may need to replace the regulator.



Fuel Leak

This is another common cause for yellow flames, you may have a propane leak. Try testing for a leak.

Flames blow out because you are low on fuel

Refill your propane tank.

Flames blow out because of wind

Turn the front of your grill to face the wind or increase the flame height by turning gas valve to higher position.

Bad propane tank connection

You probably have a bad propane tank connection or the rubber seal has failed. Turn off the cylinder valve. Remove the regulator from the cylinder and inspect the rubber seal in the cylinder valve for damage. If it's damaged, replace the cylinder.
