Thank you so much!! I can’t believe how easy this was to do - took me 5 minutes after watching for 2 minutes - you can’t imagine how long I had been needing to do this to my burners! I couldn’t find any info about adjusting flame height in the new stove manual, read it start to finish. There are no other videos like this out there! Most info is about flames that are too low, not too high. Or I found worthless articles that described opening the burner plate and doing some stuff I couldn’t follow, with no images. I am thrilled to know how to do this now and I think you are a genius!! Using the knob tubes-so brilliant! This simple trick will change my kitchen life! I cannot thank you enough for posting this.

@@basicworks1 Is this just for Whirlpool made ranges ? Just bought a new Amana gas range AGR6603 and it's a revised model. I know Amana is made by Whirlpool as Amana is just a name now that Whirlpool owns when they bought Maytag. The older version had excellent simmering and now the new burner heads are removable and larger with more BTU output. I bought the range thinking it had the old style burners because I actually couldn't find a live model of it except in one appliance store. I bought it for consumer reports rating that it simmered excellent but I believe that was with the older fixed heads sealed to the top. I care more about a lower flame for simmering than higher heat output. I currently have in my new home a Whirlpool made Kenmore ultra bake gas range that's an older model, but looks very similar to the Amana I bought to eventually replace it.

Thank you! I was so disappointed in my new Whirlpool gas range the low flame was way too high to properly simmer or to just keep anything warm! I used to love cooking with gas because of the almost infinite variability of the flame. Something that my Whirlpool looked like it lacked. Made these adjustments last night in literally 5 minutes to all my burners. Can't wait to take it for a test drive!!!!!

I have one of those oval centre burners on my new range. I was adjusting the flame heights, but on that one, I can't adjust it higher no matter which way I turn the screw. When I bring it down to low, the flame just goes out. It's there a way to increase the flame?

Odd? Our oblong center burner has never gotten high/hot enough to effectively cook on the cast iron griddle plate. Attempting this adjustment i find that turning the screw as far as it can go from midpoint has no further increase in flame height? On High the oblong flame barely crests the burner cap, maybe a bad valve - any thoughts?

@@basicworks1 I took the cooktop completely apart, cleaned, tested and reassembled everything and all igniters function. The constant clicking seems to have stopped for now on the affected igniter. The gas flow appears to be correct at least to the back burners as the back burners fire up as they should but the front burners don't and must be started with a match even though the igniters are clicking. The spark going to each of the igniters is a blue color and the igniter module seems to be doing it's job. Do you think the gas flow to the front burners need adjusting for increased flow so the igniter can catch it? I noticed there's a small screw under the control knob, would that be for the gas flow control? Could the issue be with the pressure regulator even though I didn't touch it?

I see two main pieces that I would suspect. The nozzle at the top of stove could be blocked, or the control valve that you turn the gas on with could be shot. I would clean the nozzle with a small wire first. After that the control valve may need replaced. You may want a repair man at that point. Follow all safety precautions.

@basicworks1

If you move the outer shaft it is the same as with the knob on it. It will adjust the flame up or down. You have to hold the shaft as a constant so when you turn the inside screw it adjusts the flame without turning the knob. Then when you turn the knob the flame adjustment is built in and will raise or lower what flame the knob provides.
