Hello arizonascrat
Welcome
You said You just bought a whirlpool gas stove, but it is set up for natural gas
and you need it to be for propane gas. How do you do this? Do you have to
purchase anything, if so where? Whirlpool GR 465 LXLS THANKS, in
advance, Norma
They make an LP conversion kit What you are asking and it should cost only about $20 dollars.
One Model # is, 8576846A
Now some places have it using different numbers!
Make sure to ask if this is for you range. I believe on kit fits all Whirlpool Gas products.
We have sponsors here on fixya that you can order this from.
One I believe is the repair clinic.
Thank You for using Fixya.

Please remember to leave me a solved rating!

In most cases the orifices can be removed and reversed to convert from lp to natural gas. Sometimes you will need a conversion kit and you will need to look this up by model number. 465 is the oven capacity not the model number. You can locate the model number by pulling the drawer out and looking behind it. Please let me know the model and I can let you know what kit you need. Also I should let you know that your gas company is the most qualified to convert your range, and this conversion should not be attempted by anyone who is not qualified. If this conversion is not completed properly you could be risking your life and the lives of everyone in your home, so make sure you know what you are doing!! Or get a qualified person. Good luck and please be careful making any changes to your gas appliances. Please dont forget to rate me also.

Do not use the stove until its properly converted back to natural gas. It's a serious carbon monoxide hazard.
Most ppl throw the orifices away, sometimes they are stored under the stovetop in the back, or behind it. The original natural gas orifices are the only parts you need. All orifices are labeled by a tiny stamp on the side. It will state the size and type, example: 10 LP.....meaning number 10 size and propane.
A nature gas should be labeled something like 12 NG.
Call a local parts dealer or order online the NG orifices for you model number.
I assume you do not have the setup instrctions that come new with the unit. Heres what you need to do:
1) Change the orifies to NG (the bigger the burner the higher the size number) so if you have two #10 size, one #12 and one #14...then common sence will tell you where they go.
2) convert the regulator. This is the part to which the inlet connects.
Remove the vent cap,(a plastic cap, you'll see it) unscrew and flip the insert over and
reinsert it
(You'll usually see 'NAT' on one side and 'LP' on the
other). Reinstall
the cap, and that's done. The word NAT should be facing you where you can read it.
3) Then,
find the brass orifice that supplies the bake burner (usually under
the range, behind the drawer), and if included, the broil burner
(usually inside the oven). These are adjustable, and, like adjustable
top burners, are simply 'snugged' down clockwise with a
1/2 inch wrench. You need to screw these back up for natural Gas.
You know when the oven is correct, you should get a nice blue flame on top as well as in the oven. Flames with yellow tips are wrong!
