GE Propane Range starting to have yellow burners even after cleaning

[jp10558]

So I've got a cheapo GE range + Oven that runs on Propane. It's been blackening the burners and pots more and more over the last year or so. We've tried cleaning the burners, taking them off, soaking them, putting them through the dishwasher... We just can't get them to stop turning yellow (the flame) and making soot. It came with the double wide, so we haven't really been able to find replacement burners. Any suggestions beyond replacing it?

If I have to replace it - what would be a good model / brand to look at? I've looked at BlueStar, and *might* be able to get the more basic 30" ones at around $3,300 - if it was like the Speed Queen of propane ranges. Otherwise, I'm probably going to be in the $800-$2,000 range.

$800 - $ 3300 for a STOVE ?

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">You'd flush that for a stove?  You can get gas stoves on Craigslist for $25 or even free.  If the petroleum is staining the stove you have, it's going to do the same thing to what ever stove you get.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Interesting thing, Electric stoves don't do that, and an electric stove does not present a carbon dioxide risk.</span>

Is there an air adjustment on the burners?

 

[askolover]

Yeah, it sounds like the air shutters are too far closed making it burn with a sooty flame.  My old NG range did that when I moved here...adjusted it and worked fine for several years til I replaced it.

Hmm, if I contacted a local appliance repair person - would they know what I was talking about regarding checking the air shutters? We've never intentionally changed any settings on the stove since we've had it and it burned propane as expected for 13 or so years...

This might help.  Do you know how to operate a screw-driver?
