Grill Trouble

Our Kenmore grill has stopped work, correctly.
One day, I turned it on and after starting 3 burners, upon starting the 4th, the whole thing turned off.
After some time, I was down to only being able to run 2. Now I’m down to just being able to run one. Soon as I attempt to start the second burner, the whole thing shuts down.
Doesn’t matter what burner.

Now this was around the time I thought I might try to “fix” the temp problem: The grill has 2 temps: hot and REALLY HOT.
So I thought I would adjust the amount of gas from the tank into the lines. After turning it down, it flickered and went out. So I figured that was a failed experiment and returned it to full open.
Since then, I’ve been experience this problem.

Turn the 4th burner on it shuts all burners off
Kenmore Model 141.16671 infrared burners, when I turn on 4th burner it shuts all burners off.

This is typically caused by a problem with the regulator or the valve assembly. The pressure coming out of the regulator can be tested to determine if the pressure is sufficient and if not then the regulator has failed. If the pressure is good then you know the problem is in the gas valve assembly.

For this, I do recommend a technician as the test requires and manometer to test the gas pressure. You can contact Sears Home Services to make arrangements for a technician to come out.

Thank you for using Manage My Life!

    Thanks to my step-dad and father in law, replacing the regulator (~$10 at Lowes) and the BBQ is working!
