I have same problem as described below, no gas to front xlo burners. I too changed the potentiometer from one to the other. In my case the front burner still has no gas flow. Based on this it seems unlikely that the problem is the potentiometer. What else could it be?
Thanks

Gene,
Thanks for your reply. The model is PGR364GD. To provide a little more detail- the issue with left front burner (XLO) started with the flame going out after short time, maybe a minute. This would cause igniter to fire repeatedly in attempt to lite but at that point no gas. This condition lasted a couple days. Now the burner will not light at all. Nor is there gas.
As mentioned is swapped positions of potentiometer from front to back control. This did not change condition.
Unfortuanatly I do not have any test equipment to measure voltage as described in test plan. Can you tell me if there is any other simple test (like swapping plugs or ??).
Alternatively can you give me your best guess of what part(s) I should try? Given the simple experiment I performed it seems unlikely to be potentiometer right?
Thanks

The problem can be a bad gas simmer control (#12 on the diagram) or a bad solenoid (#8 on the diagram). You also have to check all wires between these parts. Without the diagnosis you have to replace both of them because of 50/50 chance. - The gas simmer control Part number: AP4359679

Thank you again for your reply. Not to overstay my welcome but one more question. It appears both of these parts are under the drip tray. For my model PGR364GD, how do I remove the drip tray. It appears to be held down by the venturi tube. Is that the case? If I losen that nut/tube will that allow me to remove tray?
Thanks again. You have been very helpful.

You have to remove them completely. Use a socket wrench to unscrew them and do not apply too much force because you can easy brake the gas tubes. If you would not be able to unscrew the venturi then you have to cut them off using a dremel tool. Unfortunately this is the only possible way to take it apart. Gene.

Thanks Gene.
Sounds like I should buy a couple tubes just in case!

Bill,
Can you be more specific on the problem?
It also would not hurt if you'll post the complete model number of the unit.
Gene.
