How do I convert my Rangemaster Kitchener to LPG

Question edited for clarity.

There are three reasons this can happen.

The electric element has blown a hole in itself and is grounding out.
The fan has failed and grounding.
A wire connector to either has come off and grounded, or worn through and grounded.

check with a match to try and find out if is a gas problem if not I would suspect the solar system

Most ranges can be converted to LP and it will be detailed in the installation manual. Good luck!

Hi Helen.
Especially if you have a rig that calls itself Dual Fuel, it would seem that you should be able to convert. I looked up a manual for the Classic 110
http://www.rangemaster.co.uk/media/868812/toledo-lidded-110-dual-fuel.pdf Page 23 of the PDF (19 of the manual pages) specifically talks about there being conversion kits to swtich to different fuels. It also underscores that this should only be done by a certified gas engineer.

That said, my experience from shopping appliances for our house remodel several years back was that some sales people just stared blankly when we asked about running stoves on propane (we're a bit out in the sticks, no Natural gas hookups). Others would look at the same equipment and say 'oh, you need the converter fixture, which was more or less a flow restrictor to keep the energy content about the same as for the NG (propane is a bit higher energy content than NG).

In short, you should be able to convert between fuels, and the manual from the company itself says so.

Good Luck!

What is the model number of the unit?

yes you can. i see these units sell on the internet with a LPG conversion kit included. contact your supplier or the manufacturer or do a Google search for them from the many online parts sites

Yes. The Classic 110 is LPG convertible.

You cant convert an all gas cooker like this to LPG

Hi, a complete shot in the dark as its a while since you posted - we have a mains gas rangemaster 110 and need an LPG one, do you still need to change or have you sorted it now? Cheers

Problem solved, took the back off the inside of oven and the element had a huge burn hole in it. Brought a new element from the local spares shop £17+vat. Easy to fit and it works better than ever.
