Default GE GAS STOVE

I don't think they repaired the problem. The just assumed it was the
regulator and replaced that. I had a similar probelm and the repairman
did the exact same thing. He ordered new parts rather than figure out
whas was wrong. Turned out my probelm was a small amount of wax from
the assembly process had worked its way into a jet and partialy blocked
it. I don't think this is your probelm. My suspicion is that the
regulator was perfectly fine. You might want to go to the GE web site
and download the installation manual for your model range. It shows
exactly what needs to be done to convert from gas to propane. I had to
replace the four stove top burner jets and reverse a small part that
regulates gas flow in the regulator. The second step can easily be
overlooked or done wrong as it is a very small part that goes one
direction for natural gas and the other way for propane. The only
other thing I can think it would be is the little sleve that regulates
the amount of air getting to the flame. Another simple adjustment but
it can cause problems if it isn't set correctly. The sleve is rotated
by loosening a screw and turning it one way or the other. There are
measured settings in the manual or you can adjust it by watching the
flame if you know what to look for.
