It would be helpful if you posted the model number. There are several types of connections. Some are threaded and usually use a gas-compatible thread sealant compound or thread tape (be certain the sealant is specified for natural gas or propane!).

Some are simply flared friction fittings, possibly with an internal gasket ring. Inspect the gasket if any, and if it is in good condition, just push it back together. If the metal is worn, corroded or cracked, replace the part.

Some outdoor grills use hoses with fittings crimped on the end. If the fitting has come off, check the hose to see if it is cracked or dried up. If this is the case, replace the hose. You should probably replace the connector even if the hose is good; the crimp is not trustworthy if it has come apart.

Less common is welded or brazed connections. If this has come apart, have it professionally repaired or buy a new connector assembly

SOURCE: Gas not getting to grill

Two things could be wrong. Tank valve could be bad, not allowing gas to flow. Or regulator could be bad not allowing gas to pass. Try taking the tank off and pushing a screwdriver into the end of it with the tank open, if gas doesn't come out tank valve is bad, valve has a spring in it to shut down if starts leaking. If tank valve is good regulator must be bad. I am leaning more towards to the tank valve.

Oven will sometime take an hour to get to temp after being turned on. any thoughts?

If your oven is older or you live near the water check if there is a build up of fine rust over the burners. A fine wire brush lightly run over the top of the burners may be your solution. Before you attempt this disconnect electrical power and turn off the gas supply. If you are mechanical remove the front lower cover by opening the doors, removing the two screws located in the top of the lower cover next to the door hinges. The cover will remove to the front. Next remove the screws holding the shield in fromt of the burners. A long handled fine wire brush will allow you to brush the top of the burners. If there is a film of fine rust it will not be apparent when looking. After careful reinstallation of the burner shield and ensuring there is a safe area away from the exposed electrical connections for you. Reconnect electrical power and gas to the oven temporarily. This will alow the unit to be operated enableing you to look past the pilot flame to see if the burner flames are even across the burners. Disconnect electric and gas supply from the unit prior toiInstalling lower cover. After complete reassembly reconnect power and gas and enjoy.

Hello My side burner is leaking gas. I can hear the gas flowing even thought the knob is in the off position. But it doesn't click like all the other burners. Eddie

If the gas you hear is coming from the burner, rather than the side burner gas supply hos, the control knob may be stuck in the "IN" position. Turn the gas tank OFF, before attempting any repairs and disconnect the hose from the tank.

Now that there is no pressure on the side burner control knob, try using it as you normally would. What you're looking for is full function of the knob. Push it it and turn it to the light position. Does the knob pop back out when you release it? If it does, that's a good sign. If memory service me correctly, the gas supply line to the side burner as a quick connect on the hose to connect it to the burner. if so, disconnect and reconnect it to the burner. Does the quick connect slide back into place and connect properly? If not, that is what's leaking. But, to make sure, there needs to be gas going to the grill. Reconnect the hose to the tank and open the tank valve VERY, VERY SLOWLY (Slow motion, slow). Once the valve is fully open, test the side burner hose connection and the hose (squirrels like to chew on the hose) by brushing on a soap & water solution to check for leaks. If you see bubbles that grow in size, that's a leak. Turn the gas tank back OFF. The side burner hose will need to be replaced.

If there were no leaks on the connection, check the burner knob for operation. Does it operate like it should with no smell of leaking gas? If not, the control knob valve will need to be replaced.

The parts you may need can be purchased from Ducane Customer Service 1-800-382-2637.

I hope this helps you to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

We are not getting a full flame. We have enough propane.

This is a common occurrence when occasionally, you can get moisture inside the line, decreasing the gas flow to the burners. A simple cure is to disconnect the line, turn the burners on very low and reconnect the propane line to the burners. This should expel any moisture you had in the line. Once reconnected, turn the burners to the IGNITE setting and light.

When main burner comes on 20 secs later pilot gos out gas valve then shuts down

Remove the burner tray, Clean pilot orifice, make sure it is screwed in and in the right position, and replace the thermocouple. This should cost about $50-$75 and can be done by anybody.
The gas line will probably have to be undone temporarily to remove the burner tray. If it was installed correctly there will be a union on the gas line and this shouldnt take more than an hour once you have the new thermocouple.

Hi i purchased a brinkman 2545 5 burner grill already preassembled from walmart when i connected it to propane tank i tried to burn off and it would only heat to 275 degrees i read troubleshooting about...

Glad you saw the troubleshooting part concerning the regulator, but unless you turned the tank valve on VERY, VERY SLOWLY (slow motion, slow) after reconnecting the hose. That's the problem. The hose should remain disconnected for 5 minutes, before reconnecting. As the regulator needs time to reset itself. If that doesn't solve the problem, be sure the propane tank has enough gas to supply all the burners properly.

Hope this helps to get you up and grilling.

How do you replace a burner on a ducane gas grill

Hello : Here are two solutions , just look which one of them is the most helpful .

  1. Turn off the gas supply and bleed the lines leading to the grill. Remove the gas tank if possible.
  2. Open the grill and remove the grates. In some cases you will need to
    detach the hoses from under the grill using simple hand tools. Other grills may have simple "float in" style of burner. These styles look as if the tubes from the burner leading to the gas supply lines simply "float" into each other. Look for clamps of holders that may need to be removed.
  3. Remove the damaged burner and remove from grill. Take a moment to inspect the other burners and any other hoses in case you need to replace more than one piece. Place the burner in a plastic bag and take it to the home store so you can get the exact parts you need. This removes all guess work.
  4. Before replacing the burner/burners etc, take a moment to clean any material, grease etc from the bottom of the grill. Replace the burners and hoses as needed. Check the connections before reconnecting the gas supply. Turn the gas on and start to flow of gas to the burners without lighting the grill. Make sure the flow is working. Be sure to turn the gas off, let the fuel dissipate before lighting.
  5. With everything working, fire up the grill and enjoy.

Or try these help here :


  1. Turn off the gas supply valve on the tank. Remove the fuel line from the fuel tank by turning the connection nut counter-clockwise with your hand.
  2. Open the Char-Broil gas grill and remove the main cooking grate. You do not need to remove the upper warming racks to change the burners.
  3. Remove the lava rocks from the grill and pull the rock grate out. Unhook the flame spreader from each end where the spreader attaches to the inside body of the grill. The spreader is the angled piece that sits over the burner.
  4. Locate the cotter pin that secures the front of the burner to the grill body. Remove the cotter pin with a pair of needle nose pliers. Lift the burner up and pull the burner venturi tubes out of the gas valve.
  5. Set the new burner inside the grill with the venturi tubes inside the gas valve opening. Install the cotter pin to secure the burner to the grill body. Place the flame spreader back inside the grill and hook the ends to the grill body.
  6. Place the rock grate, lava rocks and cooking grate back inside the grill. Reattach the fuel line to the fuel tank.
Here you need Needle nose pliers.

Please report me which one helped the most .

good luck .

and rate if useful please !

Bryant Gas Heater goes into ignition lockout daily.

First of all try cleaning all the components inside the burner assembly, including the ignitor and the flame sensor.Try cleaning flame sensor well with steel wool or sandpaper. after cleaning check out.if the problem is same then, check out whether the manual gas shut-off valve is on and not off, and the gas lines leading up to and inside the unit all seem unmoved and undamaged. If everything is proper then remove cover from burner compartment and re-try. If ignition is successful, check for leaky ignitor gasket, or look CLOSELY for webbing inside far-right burner. It can also be caused if there is low gas presure, or a bad gas valve. That has to be checked.
To remove and replace/check the burner .follow this instructions

(These instructions apply to an upflow installation. Turn 90* in appropriate direction for horizontal orientation. Only perform these steps if you are sufficiently qualified.) Turn off power & gas supply, loosen nearest union BETWEEN gas **** & furnace. Remove wires from gas control, noting where each one belongs. Remove cover from burner enclosure & remove 2 screws securing manifold to enclosure. Lift upward/outward to disengage manifold from enclosure & carefully move aside. Remove screws securing burner set, remove burners. Inspect burners for debris in passage and runner slots. Check manifold orifices for blockage (ants?), particularly the one facing burner nearest to ignitor. If debris is present inside burner enclosure, CAREFULLY remove with vacuum cleaner. AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH IGNITOR. Re-install burner set and manifold, assuring that manifold brackets engage correctly in slots AND all orifices engage fully into burner entrance, replace manifold screws. Reconnect wires to gas control, reconnect gas supply & turn gas on. Apply liquid soap to union, check for bubbles (indicates leakage - correct before proceeding). Re-install cover on burner enclosure. Turn on power supply and check unit operation. Pay particular attention when re-installing manifold to assure proper alignment of orifices into burners.
This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya
