If you follow the installation directions for this range, you should be able to have zero clearance from the wall IF the electric outlet and gas shut off valves are located in the proper places. The gas valve should not protrude more than 2" from the back wall in order to have the stove sit flush against the back wall, when pushed all the way in.

Here's a copy of the installation instructions from Jenn-Air for your stove. Please see page 10 for their recommended location of the electric outlet and gas supply line and shut off valve

Control panel is dark, unresponsive...electricity is confirmed (gas burners are igniting)... TICKING SOUND is coming from behind

The piezoelectric igniter does not require and external electrical source. A portable gas grill uses the same device and need no electricity supplied from a line. The ticking is the piezoelectric igniter's spark. The point is the electricity is NOT confirmed. It need to be properly reconnected to the electricity.

I have a Sears Kenmore Elite 790 hooked up to propane .. is it ok to have it hooked up to propane or is this over for natural gas only?

Kenmore Gas ranges can be used with Natural gas or Lp. They come from the factory set up for Natural gas so if you want to use Lp it needs to be converted by you or your gas company. There are several adjustments that have to be made and some ranges require orifices to be changed. Your installation manual tells how to convert it but if you're not sure about doing it you would be better off the call the gas man.

The oven temperature on my GE XL44 propane range is inconsistent. I set it at 350, and then I'll check the inside thermometer a half hour later and it will read 450. Drives my wife crazy. Some days it...

Hello. One question has your range burner jets been changed to LP (liquid propane). If you are using natural gas jets for the burners and ovens this make the heat and flam fluctuate in temperature and the same for the oven. Natural gas jets are larger. One more thing here! There is a control valve spring with cap in the stove gas regulator that has to be taken out and turn around.


Search the operation manual on how to changes jets from natural gas to LP. In back of the stove behind one of the panels is a small cloth bag contain these LP jest and also there should be set of instruction in a bunch of languages.



If you are going to do this yourself--- DIY. Read those instruction ever carefully. There a bass ball valve that hook to the gas line before the flex stainless line behind you stove. Turn the nob to where it perpendicular to the gas line. Open the windows in the house and turn off all electric equipment such as, fans, toasters, don't be clicking the light switches off and on. Just a precaution for you and your family safety.



Check with your city zoning ordnance about home owner changing their gas jets in the range. Some cities and states won't allow you to due this. Then you will need a technician to preform this operation. I wish you and family well being and you safety first... GB you...stewbison

Considering buying Viking VDSC4856Q for only 2450.00. Does it require 220 hook-up? Should I buy it? What is your opinion?

no, its 110V if you are thinking of buying the one you listed...its gas and a great range, its just out of my league with the price they ask for them.

Gas burners/electronic ignition

Electric gas igniters sometimes get stuck in one position causing a clicking sound. The clicking sound that you hear is the electric arc that is pulsing from the igniter conductor (wire) to ground (the gas burner). It receives power from the electrical outlet that the stove is plugged into.
Residue from food and sometimes cleaning products may be preventing the igniter from producing a spark (Arc) to the base of the burner. This is a common problem that occurs when the stove has been cleaned or food is allowed to build up. Make sure that the igniter and the burner base are clean and dry. This will help with proper operation. Oven cleaner and a small tooth brush may be used to accomplish this. Another problem with ignition may occur if you have too little (touching) or too much space between the igniter and the base of the burner; it will prevent the burner from igniting. You should only have a little more space than the thickness of a nickel between the burner base and the igniter. A good “blue” arc from the igniter to the burner base is optimal. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the electric igniter module. Good luck.

My electrician is here to do the electrical for my new Jenn-Air Gas stove Model # JGS8860BDP.  The store said we need both 110 and 220 outlets inside the stove space.  My electricial doesn't think...

Trust the Electrician. 99.9% of the time, the only requirement for working at a retail store is to know absolutely NOTHING of the product they sell. Where an electrician is liable for any damage to property or person injured due to his/her work... not to mention to 2 years of required training to get your journeyman lisence.
