How to Convert a Natural Gas Stove to Propane - Kenmore / Frigidaire Natural Gas Stove Conversion

If you need to convert your stove from natural gas to propane, its not too hard but is very daunting without knowing the exact steps. In this video, I install the needed parts to convert a Kenmore gas stove to propane / LP. This stove was actually built by Frigidaire, so it'll work for either brand, and most are generally the same.
Hopefully the ideas in the video help you, and also give you extra ideas if incase the fix goes a little awry, as we had a few screw issues during the modification, too.
Tools I use in all videos can be found at my Amazon Idea Page: www.amazon.com/shop/bensappli...

Life saver. Lots of people where I live are on propane. Nobody know how to install the converters

[@user-pn6qf7pg6n]

Very professional video leaving no margins for errors. Unfortunately not everyone can perform this conversion. Not so easy and complications may occur. Thanks

[@francam853]

Good tape trick. I made a funnel out of aluminum tape, sticky side in, so just in case the piece came loose it had no place to go. I used the same cone for all the burners.

[@niceguy1183]

somebody may have already said this, but just in case, you can get locking nut drivers or even use a deep socket to avoid the trouble you had. A mini needle nose plyer will also pick up the orifice if you drop[ it.

[@StMaier-bl6cp]

Very clear explanations and good video shots. Was very helpful. Thanks

[@CharlieGoy]

Nice job, brother. I feel prepped and ready to go when I swap out an electric with a hand-me-down gas model I need to run on propane. Peace and much obliged.

[@wesw1735]

Very much appreciated!!!! You did a great presentation.

[@Stillmatic732]

Thank you just subbed. I really enjoy your straight to the point videos and how easy they are to follow.

[@alextorres_2023]

Thank you for taking the time to go step by step!

[@jimmyg6418]

Thank you very very much , getting our first stove!

[@MIhandyman]

Haha love the sticker "in the end" "numb" totally dig it brother!

[@rthompson7282]

Thank you very much! An excellent video, clear instructions, so very helpful. The tape on the socket wrench was a great idea, Quite possibly saved my marriage! Ha ha!.

[@kellylearned9857]

Thanks for the video.. I just successfully changed 4 out of the 5 burners orifices, and the 5th one dropped into the stove... Can I just leave it there? Or do I have to take the whole thing apart?

[@makaveli2tt]

Very useful info. Thanks for sharing

[@shanewayts1560]

Love the sticker at the end glad I clicked your video

[@gillafunk]

Great explanation

[@johnfontana7256]

Great video! My new Whirlpool instructions failed to mention opening the air shutter fully on the oven burner, I learned the hard way after finding massive amounts of soot inside the oven, burner , and bottom plate, not to mention the noxious smell. I still have to check the broiler for the same problem.Thanks for the helpful content!

[@georgepaul3370]

Very useful thank you 🙏

[@gribeiro19]

Very helpful, I save more then 200 dollar! Thanks for post

[@adadventuresontimbermounta6764]

perfect just what i needed

[@guywest4567]

Yes yes very helpful !

[@tweetyuno]

I am getting a new stove, i am surprised that it's hard to find somebody to doit. It's not too easy to convert to propane. No wonder why lowes charge a lot to do it. Thank you for you excelent video.

[@JayL781]

Such a good video😊

[@m1ata718]

Hi please could you tell me what kind of valve you used between the gas propane and the line? Im using the ones that come with the grills and is loosing gas. What kind of valve I need to buy. Thanks

[@ben-me9jy]

Great advise

[@preluden9ty3]

I have recently converted a natural gas stove to use off of a propane tank, what type of regulator do i need at the propane tank?

[@TerryPresson]

What a great video

[@jubbacomputer4019]

i have the same type of stove where can i buy orifices for my stove lpg

[@99751]

How did you fix the oven flame mine is too high

[@nevermind6209]

I would have given 2 thumbs up if I could.

[@wilfredoperez854]

What Connectors do I ned to attach the propane to the back of the stove, I cant find this answer anywhere?

[@jamesiversen]

You may have just saved me having to buy a new stove with the "adjustment screw in the knob" tidbit!

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Nice!

[@manuelmiranda3385]

Got it thanks

[@TheZehnerhjk]

Thank you

[@concepciondeorienteeljorna67]

Me good video I'm trying to do the same thing but where I'm having problems is with the fitting to connect the hose because I buy 1 Amazon 18 feet long what valve you used for the gas tank and the other fitting to the stove if any one can help me out por fabor gracias

[@bkfromtherockies]

@9:20 I see what you did there, sir... and I LIKE IT!!!! Great video! BK

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Good eye and ear

[@bkfromtherockies]

@@bensappliancesandjunk It's crazy to say this nowadays, but I like the classics! (Holy crap! LP is a classic now!) 😎 BK

[@markchidester6239]

Nice. I see you had a 20 lb tank hooked up. We need to do this as we are putting together an outdoor kitchen. I see you have the red high flow regulator. Other than the plumbing, is this all you need? Will a regulator from a sizeable gas grill sufficient?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Nope. Just plumbing. I needed a 3/8 to regulator fitting, and that's all she wrote outside of gas-grade teflon tape. We use this for our "Test mode" at shop. The LP regulator can drop the flow down to simulate natural gas so we don't have to convert as well.

[@gisella5580]

Ty!!!

[@Trumoo65]

Do you have orifices for that same model for propane?

[@lucasalcaraz8522]

Where can I buy those 4-5 pieces?

[@user-mg6hj9gw7y]

I need my oven adjusted! My range top is done. I'm getting really heavy odor of propane. Pin for oven adjustment is missing. The odor is burning my eyes have to shut it off and I can't use it the way it is.

[@tannerworm]

Now how do you hook up he propane tank to the back?

[@damiandavis8434]

Good job bens i have the question my stove gas is hotpoint the conector is 1/2 but the hose regulator is 3/8 how can made this work thanks

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

We used a connector that goes from 1/2 to 3/8 that solved it.

[@WarCry333]

Is a whirlpool oven the same as kenmore?

[@DavidLopez-wy6xz]

Thanks I going, to need to do this in a dryer

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Cool deal. I haven't done a dryer video yet because, quite frankly, we NEVER sell gas or propane dryers but... I may as well try it once. Should be wildly similar.

[@SeanBaker]

@@bensappliancesandjunk gas dryers for the win!!

[@RoyDollwet]

What size socket is that?

[@highlandermachineworks5795]

Thermador says you cannot convert their nat gas ranges to propane. Is that true?

[@MasterIvo]

is the LPG injector usable for propane? We bought a new stove top (arebos) which said to have propane injectors included. but instead LPG was included. the manual says, 52 67 74 (1/100m) for propane, but the lpg is 45 59 67 (smaller). will they also work?

[@chantellrich9910]

Doesn't LPG stand for "liquid propane gas"?

[@MasterIvo]

@@chantellrich9910 or is it liquid petrol gas? yes lpg is a mix of propane and butane

[@adventureswithducky4088]

I was given this exact stove a while back. It was converted from NG to LP, and I have NG in my house. The previous owner has no idea what may have happened with the NG orifices and every search I have made ends up with new LP orifices. I even called a local appliance shop and they wanted to replace all the gas valves and would not sell me just the orifices. Where can I get a set of the correct orifices?

[@xxSHOCKxTROOPxx]

i was just wondering. the propane was out of control when using NG orifices. How does it get when using Propane orifices on NG? would you try adjusting the knobs to get more gas.

[@10001kino]

Thanks for information I have a question What size is bolt?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Which bolt?

[@10001kino]

Orifice (natural gas) And what size tool can i use to remove it?

[@joeldiodonet9399]

Bueno

[@daver4136]

If I lose the natural gas orifice down there and don’t ever plan on eating it again can I just leave it?

[@headslamer9450]

why my burner is producing yellow flame.

[@user-ig4ue9nd6g]

I'm needing to go the other way

[@franwex]

I live in a rural area and all the appliances are propane. I could see why I would want to convert an appliance to be used as propane in my case. But if you already have a natural gas line , there’s no reason to switch to propane as it is more expensive.

[@blaphtome9382]

9:03 LOL

[@Firevine]

Man, I was with it up until the seven minute mark, then I said to hell with it, I'll pay the propane company 🤣 They came out several months ago for another issue, and when testing the stove after that service, the tech mentioned to me that my stove was still using the natural gas orifices. I wonder if the guys who renovated this house before we bought it did the other steps. Hahahahhaaha what am I saying of course they didn't they barely did anything at all 😂😂

[@jeimymartinez8860]

Can we put the propane tank inside the house?

[@honestguy7764]

Here in Europe, butan/porpane are allowed indoors, providing the kitchen has at leas a floor level ventilator. As lon the kitchen is not airtigh, you are good to go. Accidents are minimal and mostly related to poorly maintained sets and people blocking the air ventilations in the winter. Quick release connections are the norm, so another option is to unplug the bottle from the set up.

[@amazingracestudio]

I have mine inside. But I don't think it's supposed to be.

[@randylambert1117]

Stove converted to Linkin Park 😬

[@michaelskrhak6518]

Don’t do that 2.5 turn to your regulator.. they send another office 1/2 inch brass fitting to replace that. If you do what this guy does to the broiler you will either strip threads or burn your house down.

[@michaelskrhak6518]

Orifice tube * for propane!!!!! you replace that 1/2 inch brass fitting with the smaller hole fitting provided. To take it apart you must open the oven door take out the two back screws of the oven floor and remove the broiler or oven burner with 3 screws. Remove the brass fitting you see with the 1/2 inch wrench then replace it with the smaller one. Reinstall your bottom burner and oven bottom. Please don’t trust in this videos entirety.

[@viktor.martinez]

Don't skim the video . I had to come back to discover something new a few times.

[@zebuluncovert]

Also, don't forget to orifice all of the orifices to make sure the orifice fits inside the orifice's orifice in case it orifices all over the orifice.

[@zebuluncovert]

Also, great video. ;)

[@MatHelm]

"Blind without being able to see"

[@toddt6730]

I had that Kenmore stove and got rid of it, the flames were never proper and would burn everything in the middle of a pan but not cook in the outer areas, it just was never right

[@diegojuarez23]

Just to let you know you shouldn’t put a high pressure regulator on stove you’re pushing to much pressure on it you’ll need a twin stage regulator it’s 11in water not psi

[@mikehendrix6558]

Whoever owns that Stove needs to clean the Damn thing. I wouldn't cook nothing on that nasty ass thing. You should have cleaned it before you made this Tutorial

[@rafars2246]

Better yet, buy a propane range and skip the nonsense

[@409tee8]

Great explanation
