Hi all, new member here in need of some advice.

I installed a new gas range last night. It appears to be working properly, however, 2 of the 4 burners plus the oven all make a humming noise when in use. I can not tell for certain if the noise is coming from the burners themselves, or from the gas line behind the stove. What I can say for sure is that the noise coincides with the amount of gas moving through the unit. The burners hum loudly on high, and the sound goes away on medium/low. The same is true with the oven. When preheating, the hum was loud. Once preheated it was quiet while maintaining temperature. I am certain that there is no gas leaking. I tried contacting Samsung support but they were useless.

Where should I begin? I read some post on line that perhaps each burners orifice needs adjustment but I am not sure where the adjustment screw is located. I also read that if the gas line is bent at too sharp of an angle coming off the outlet that it can cause vibration/humming. This may be the case as I know that we were manipulating the line to get the range as close to the wall as possible.

This evening I plan to pull the range out as far as the electrical/gas will allow and light it to see if straightening out the line helps. IF not, whats next?

Did you ever solve this problem? If so, what did you find was the culprit? I have the exact same issue with a new range I purchased.

Hi, I did eventually figure out the issue. I turns out what when my house was built the contractor failed to place a regulator on the gas line going to behind the stove. The gas company came out as a courtesy to check the pressure at that connection and it was running full pressure straight off the meter without any regulation.

I had a regulator installed and the stove works perfectly now.

Best of luck.

Oh wow! I just had a plumber run a gas line to the kitchen for the range and I'm pretty sure there is no regulator on it. Thanks for the tip!
