Found your site by accident. But a divine one, indeed. I had the same problem with my gas range. Got my very slender screw driver and wouldn’t you know, IT WORKED. Thank you so very much.

Hi, your advice is right on…i already have done this effective procedure years ago to my Sears gas range top…Now, perhaps you can help me with my problem with the same range (Sears Kenmore model#75885…propane gas fueled): Is there any way to adjust the broiler flame? Since i’ve had this unit, there is no difference between the “Hi” and “Low” broiler settings. In addition, the broiler is very inadequate (i usually have to take food outside to my Weber grill if i want it broiled (not fun in the snow) …it takes forever for the food to cook, and it never gets that just right “sear,” I can’t even broil a grapefruit or caramelize brown sugar. The broiler flame is not a “drawer” style, but rather is mounted on the top or “roof” of the oven box. Any advice you may have would be most gratefully appreciated!!!

Thank you very much!

Thank you! I thought it was the new reality with a propane gas stove. I am very relieved to know that it can be adjusted.

My wife will be very happy we can cook dinner without burning it!

Yes, I ended up installing another LC-X1220P. Looking at the date on this post, it’s been about 3.5 years now and I’ve had no problems with it. When it dies I’ll buy another one.

I own a 1995 K75 RT with ABS.I am searching for a strong battery to insure enough power to keep the ABS operational.After checking IBMWR I decided the Panasonic LC-X1228P was the battery of choice. While searching For the best price I found your article and I think I will have the same Problems you had.Did you install the LC-X1220 and have you been satisfied? Any other ideas?

I just adjusted my whirlpool W10196161C range. Excellent. I can’t believe they don’t put this info in the conversion instructions. Thanks

Your mis-information about TracFone can be forgiven due to dated report. A TracFone Motorola flip phone/camera phone can be had at Dollar General today for $20 and is a double-minute phone. Their so called “best deal” right now is actually 450 min. + a 250 min. free bonus card good for 1 year costing $99. That actually gets you 1150 minutes, not the 250 you mention. Average cost for TracFone is .09 or less and coverage in most areas is great. You of course, can buy cards for most any time amount (which double on this phone) and minutes carry over. Wouldn’t trade it and never had a dead zone yet.

I can’t thank the person who posted this solution enough!!!! I moved into an apartment with a brand new Whirlpool gas range that has been giving me this problem all along, and driving me nuts since I couldn’t simmer anything. I made the adjustment and now the flame is low like it should’ve been to begin with. THANKS SO MUCH for the post!!

YOU rock!! That is all I can say. We have been dealing with this for four years and then it just hit me…maybe we can adjust the flame. We would have had no idea where that adjustment needed to be made without your photos. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

The svc tech came out and said there’s no way to adjust for a lower simmer. The company said the same by phone. Thanks to your post, I will no longer risk serious injury. I’ve had a few near misses with large pots of stew slipping off my make-shift spacer to get the pot further from the flame.
My small screwdriver shaft was not long enough, so I fashioned my own tool from a bamboo skewer with a razor blade. Thanks ever so much.

THANK you!!! I’ve had my stove for about 6 years. I love it, but could never cook rice without it sticking to the bottom of the pot. Thanks to you, I’ll have fluffy rice forever now!

Woohoo! I just moved into an apartment with a Whirlpool gas stove, and have the same problem with all the burners being set way too high. I will be adjusting them later today!

Your post was as marriage saver. Thanks!

I adjusted the burners on my Jenn Aire after changing from a gas grill insert to a double burner inset. I didn’t know to I could adjust the simmer until I found this site. I thought I had bought the wrong burner set!

I now have my gourmet chef wife happy because she can simmer our food properly, and now thinks perhaps I am a genius (well, not quite).

Oh so many thanks from me too! Also a Premier Pro owner and also stacking trivets to achieve “low” temps. Can’t wait to try this tonight. And thanks for saving me the $$ too!
PS the photos are perfect!

Comment on BMW K75 Headlight Modulator by kevin

Hi Philip, I have not gotten around to purchasing a headlight modulator for my bike yet. It is hard to believe it has been close to 3 years since I looked into it and added the modulator to my “things to do” list. It’s still on there, it just ended up being a lower priority than other stuff. Best regards- Kevin
