I know on propane installations you can get this if the vent on the pressure regulator is clogged or damaged, but I have not seen that sort of thing in a natural gas system. Maybe ask your gas supplier? I know our propane provider had a preferred contractor that did our Nat to LP conversion when we bought a new gas dryer.<br class=""></div><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><div class="gmail_quote" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 22, 2023 at 3:40 PM Jim Franklin <<a href="mailto:jamesf@groupwbench.org" class="">jamesf@groupwbench.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">I have a Magic Chef gas range and occasionally the oven will "flutter" and take a long time to come up to temp. I bought a clamp ammeter and tested the igniter current and it's at 2.9 - 3.0 amps, right where it should be. Of course there was no fluttering during this test :-)<br class=""><br class="">Is it possible for these things to fail intermittently or are they pretty steady even as they're going bad?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class=""><br class="">Not to introduce a red herring but sometimes I hear similar fluttering from the water heater, and sometimes the stovetop burners won't light, and sometimes their flame sounds like it has extra pressure, or another non-reactive gas in it because they make jet noises.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class=""><br class="">This is a rental and I'm on good terms with the landlord and her dog is dying so I don't want to burden her with petty things if there's nothing really wrong, but I also don't want my roasts to not cook or the house to blow up.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class=""><br class="">thanks,<br class="">jim<br class="">_______________________________________________<br class=""><br class=""><a href="mailto:Shop-talk@autox.team.net" target="_blank" class="">Shop-talk@autox.team.net</a><br class="">Donate:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br class="">Suggested annual donation $12.96<br class="">Archive:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br class=""><br class="">Unsubscribe/Manage:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/jdinnis@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/jdinnis@gmail.com</a><br class=""><br class=""></blockquote></div><br clear="all" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><span class="gmail_signature_prefix" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">--<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">=================================<br class="">= Never offend people with style when you =<br class="">= can offend with substance --- Sam Brown =<br class="">=================================</div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
