The front left burner on my Chambes (Model GSU-33P) does not light. The ignitor clicks but the burner does not light. The other three burners do light however I believe they are too slow. I am new to the stove (new house) but the burners are slow to light and the gas ‘poofs’ when it lights.
How can I service this stove to make the ignitors work properly? Do I need to replace the ignitor(s)? If so, where can I find information about changing the part and where can they be purchased?
How many ignitors does this stove have?
What other information do I need to know about this stove and the ignitors?
The model number you posted does not come up, probably due to its age. If you can post a pictures of the stove top it might help us to better help you.
I believe my gas cook top is from 1986 and has a very simple top with four burners. The front right burner is a ‘power blast’ burner with six individual sub burners. The other three burners have four individual sub burners. It is stainless steel top with four nobs in the front. It sits in the counter top and is only about 6-8 inches deep.
I have been able to determine that the ignitor does spark since the front and back burner share one ignitor and the back burner is not a problem.
It appears you may be right that the burner needs to be cleaned. However, it does look pretty clean when I left the top. Regardless, any suggestions or instructions for cleaning the burner on my Chambers model.
If I’m thinking about right type of the burner then there suppose to be a few vertical holes in the burner body if you will look from the igniter side. All of them must be completely open. You can clean them using a needle. Also make sure all holes around the top of the burner are open as well.
I am having the same problem with my Chambers GSU-33P. I cleaned all the holes, tried to adjust the burner, etc. All four burners are producing a very slight flame. Cannot get the flame to go to High.
Possibly something wrong with the incoming gas flow. Make sure the gas shut off valve for the stove is completely open. If there is nothing wrong, the gas pressure regulator would need to be replaced. The part number for the gas pressure regulator is ERPR2. The part is no longer available but you can try to locate it online.
Thanks Gene for your reply. Woke up this morning to a cold house. Followed your suggestion regarding gas flow. Discovered propane tank valve (registering 80% full) was broken and the tank was empty. Propane company responded, filled tank and checked stove connections. All is working.
