Just watched this video and then adjusted the flame on all the burners. I will be able to simmer on the stovetop now. Thanks for the great video, it is a game changer.

Thank you Sir, our new propane stove Fridgedare flames have been too high since delivery. I even called appliance store and was told that is how they make them now. After watching your video my wife is a little happier with me ! Thanks again .

[justincooper]

Thanks for this Clyde. The burners on my stove are so high I thought I would have to replace the stove. You are a lifesaver.

[nicolefuller]

Thank you so much!! I can’t believe how easy this was to do - took me 5 minutes after watching for 2 minutes - you can’t imagine how long I had been needing to do this to my burners! I couldn’t find any info about adjusting flame height in the new stove manual, read it start to finish. There are no other videos like this out there! Most info is about flames that are too low, not too high. Or I found worthless articles that described opening the burner plate and doing some stuff I couldn’t follow, with no images. I am thrilled to know how to do this now and I think you are a genius!! Using the knob tubes—so brilliant! This simple trick will change my kitchen life! I cannot thank you enough for posting this.

Thank you! This was so easy!
I was going to call my propane company to adjust these burners on my new Whirlpool stove. They wanted $150 to do this, it took me 5 minutes. I was using doubled up heat defusers to simmer stuff and even then it was too hot. Bless you!

[jeannemcmillintwinlakeses]

Thank you! I have had this exact Whirlpool stove for less than a month and you can't simmer anything on it because all the burners are too hot. Who knew it would be so easy.

[GeraldNoethen]

Thank you! It just fixed my new gas range. My wife is so happy. I told her I got the fix from you. Much thanks sir

[carleneroesch]

Most definitely a million thank you's!!!! After 3 years of a worthless stove after watching this video it's perfect now!! Thank you so much!!!

[wilsonle]

Thank you! I was so disappointed in my new Whirlpool gas range the low flame was way too high to properly simmer or to just keep anything warm! I used to love cooking with gas because of the almost infinite variability of the flame. Something that my Whirlpool looked like it lacked. Made these adjustments last night in literally 5 minutes to all my burners. Can't wait to take it for a test

[kendevries]

Fantastic!!! I just did this on my brand new Jenn Aire. Worked like a charm. The flame was way too high for a simmer setting on the large burners. The small burners didn't adjust as well - one of them was already at the lowest setting, but they are OK.

We tried talking to the dealer and they told us this couldn't be adjusted. THANK YOU!!!

I want to add my appreciation along with all the other comments. Thank you, thank you for the excellent demo to reduce btu output. GENIUS.

Hi Clyde
Rachel here again, you were right in your tutorial. Landed up I just needed to buy a set of small enough screw driver.
Thanks for steering me in the right direction

[loriblair]

Thank you so much!! I have been HATING my new whirlpool. It burns everything! There is no “low” or “simmer” heat. Grrr. Now, thanks to you, I can fix it!

[Ejy]

Worked great!

I will say you need a long enough screw driver.

I tried using one of those eyeglass repair screw driver but the handle got hung up on the top of the valve stem and did not go down far enough to reach the screw.

[carmellagoodman]

Wow! You made this look so easy. Our burner got messed up when we had a maid service come in for the first time. I just needed some help and they did a fantastic job. The only problem is that I haven’t been able to use that burner since then. I’m so thankful for your video. I will have to go buy a long skinny flathead because not everyone has the right shape and size to get the job done, but I’m confident I will be able to do it.

[gailsfoodandstuff]

fantastic, i just had this problem on my brand spankin’ new stove/oven and will do this! i do recall an installer doing this years ago for me, upon delivery, but today, it was like a hit and run, they delivered, turned it on for me and left, lol.

[buttegowda]

Thank you. You really saved me. I always wondered how to do this adjustment and never knew. Thanks a million🙏🙏

Inversely my flames were not strong enough to properly sear steak so I was looking for a way to get stronger BTU. Will try this next time. Thank you so much.

Just moved in to a new apartment with a Whirlpool gas stove and having this issue. Low is more like medium to me. I'm going to give this a try!

[sandycox]

Thank you thank you thank you! I couldnt keep pressure canner on low enough to can. Was setting my canner more than halfway off burner. not good. You solved my problem and it was so easy! THANK YOU!
