Lord have mercy!! I am dying with laughter! The last 2 years I had been struggling with this burner for 2 years and it took 10 seconds to poke it with a nail and restore it to its former glory!!!!!! I'm dead.... floored.... thank you so much. The 10 seconds I used this video granted you a subscriber and infinite likes on all other videos

[@michaeloverby3621]

Don't feel bad.......me too! 🤣

[@ladyfritz8r]

I think it's been two years for me too. Duh.

[@beatricereyes1098]

Same here, I about went to buy another stove.

[@JESSESGRL24]

It’s 10:30 at night and this video just saved us from buying a new stove tomorrow. You are a life saver!!!!

[@Gum05]

Thanks man! My dad passed away this past summer and I’m now tasked with taking care of mom and the maintenance of their house. She had this exact same problem and with your help I had it fixed in less than 2 minutes! Mom was elated! Thanks again!!!

[@franciscoluna9596]

Thank you for such a simple and effective tip! I was so frustrated, was about to call my Landlord -but didn't want to cause expenses and troubles for him- so I was about to start disassembling the stove....thanks again for solving my problem in 3 seconds!

[@coyotecreekband236]

My main burner had stopped working effectively a couple of years back. I finally searched and found your video. In one minute I had the problem fixed and back with a fully functioning stove. THANKS

[@benwilliams5760]

You, my friend, have just made me look like a hero in front of my wife 😂. There is no way I'm telling her how easy it was. Thanks pal!!

[@lolaokunrinboye7368]

Yah! It worked. I noticed the flame was going down by the day, I stopped using it with the hopes that one day I will call the electrician. I was a little skeptical since this was gas but my gut was telling to at least try. Washed the video for 2 minutes and voila! Thank you so much for sharing. Much appreciated.

[@fatmakhan6790]

In the morning I searched for my problem and as i watched this vdeo, i immediately tried it and 100% positive result came out. So i m here only to thank u.

[@patinpatin12]

This hack works! I was about to buy a new stove because only the back burner on my stove was working. It took 5 minutes to clean all of them and now it burns like new. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@jmac4979]

Hack?

[@NolotyLara]

It really does, I thought I had to switch my stove, but it was the gas thing… omg what a relief

[@smittyboy7319]

I’ve cleaned my stove top and part of the burners for the longest time trying to improve my low flames. This video, with a simple trick changed everything. My 20 year old stove is firing like new. Thank you for posting this!!

[@Dre9Mega]

Thank you so much! I was having the said issue with a small burner, used a floss stick to clear the gas hole and bam! It's now good as new 😁 hope you're keeping safe and thanks again 👊🏼

[@fiftyfreestylin]

You are my hero! We have a Wolf range and lived with this on our front burners for a couple months. Just watched your video and 5 minutes later I'm back at full capacity! Our gas hole was about 2 inches lower than the burner in a hole, so I had to tape a toothpick onto a coat hanger wire to reach it. So easy!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@ebymodebelu]

Didn't think that this simple method will sort my burner out, what a sight to behold! Thanks so much, didn't know I would be this pleased watching flames 😀😍😍😍

[@noodlehockey]

Geo!!! You are the man. I was convinced my valve was going bad and was having trouble finding info about my stove to replace it when I found your video. 30 seconds later and the problem is solved!!! Thanks again!

[@Bullpen_Beeswarm]

I have never commented on self-help videos before, because they either helped somewhat or they didn't assist with the exact issue I faced, but this helped. Thank you. My main/favorite burner had a low flame and like half of the burner would ignite. I cleaned the parts, the stove, but nothing. This video fixed it. Took the toothpick, had some nice black gunk, turned the gas on and huge difference. Thank you.

[@1freddy14]

Duuude!!! I saw your video and went out and fixed 2 gas stove that have been doing this since new. The third stove was in a tenants property and we were at our wits end. You just saved me a ton of buck with service calls at three houses. You have blessed me tremendously!!!!!!!!

[@user-zf5cv8qs8c]

I have been only using 3 eyes on my 4 eye stove for years. Recently a second eyes flame was lower that the others. We were going to call Sears for repair when I remembered “you tube” I watched 3 videos with different repair ideas, no good. Then I saw your video, you are my hero. All is good with my stove. Thank you!!!

[@BWebb-gd9qn]

I think this might be the first video on KZbin with no negative comments! Good for you!

[@MarthaWhite-mt5sq]

Thank You So Much! You video was nothing more than a miracle for me. After many years of cooking on only two burners, and wanting to buy a new stove. I now can keep my old stove. Because after watching your video and using the toothpick to clean the hole. All four of my burners work with high flame. AMAZING how something so simple and small can WORK and SAVED me a lot of money. Thank You Again.

[@monkeybeng]

Such a simple and effective solution.... almost went to buy a new stove. Thanks!

[@tomchalmers8227]

Thank you just fixed the large burner on my stove. At first it would take longer to light & the burner flame was very low. Now it lights fast & works great. Such a simple fix.

[@abialli5075]

Very helpful and 'straight to the point' video. Instructions worked... Yay! Almost called someone to replace my burners. Thanks a lot!

[@sydneygrey822]

Thank you! I was deciding to call someone to come and fix this issue I had with one of my burners but then, Google found your video for me. God bless!

[@treehugnhipi3765]

thank you! i had not even looked down there, just cleaned out all the little holes on top and knew it had to be somehow the gas was not getting through to the burner because it was lighting. the little hole on my stove was further down, but i opened a large paper clip and with a magnifying glass and flashlight, just cleaned that out. working like new!!!!! i am reading this on january 1, 2022...happy new year to you and yours! p.s. my 88 year old "i can fix anything" dad was awestruck...i told him it was thanks to the smart dude on you tube...😎😉

[@cherylterdina6307]

This is amazingly helpful and so simple. Thank you, thank you! You've probably saved me hours of waiting for pots to boil.

[@yvettevera950]

My hero!!!! I was so close to calling someone to come out but watched this and solved the problem on my own. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@MariaCastillo-cl8ub]

I was able to fix mine!!! Thank you!!! I saved money, I was going to call the technician and I follow your advice, and it worked!!!!

[@mjdeluxe]

you're a life saver! my mom had this issue for months and i felt like a genius being able to look this up and fix it in just a few seconds!

[@pablogutierrez1009]

I really appreciate this video. I am having this problem and wife complaining and I did not know it was a quick fix. Thank you so much for a well explained, concised and even though it is a short vide it was very thorough.

[@nicheplayer]

I was skeptical this would work, but by gob, my formerly slow burner is now running like new. Thanks for sharing this tip!

[@ginnymaloney7351]

I have been putting off calling a repair person for 1 1/2 years because of the cost and this was the problem!!! It works perfectly! Thank you!

[@saraam465]

Omg!! I can't believe this..it's working like before!!! I tried everything on you tube before but no luck..this my friend saved me from buying a new stove..thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

[@rssmith289]

Thank you so much for uploading this video. I had so many problems with a power burner. I thought it was an old stovetop range. I thought I was probably going to have to buy a standalone griddle for pancakes that I make weekly or have a technician come out and see what is wrong. I used a toothpick this morning and cleaned out that burner. OMG, I could not believe the beautiful blue flame that I saw. Thank you so much!

[@deepabakshi25]

Thank you so much ,you solved my problem in a minute. I did exactly as you showed and now my gas is flame is as new as ever . Cheers to you !

[@ericbrophy8142]

Thank you, so much, for posting this. It came up in my feed and as it turns out, we were experiencing this problem. 3 minutes later, we now have a fully working burner.

[@elviegatchalian1995]

Saved a lot instead of calling a serviceman I followed your simple instruction. I used a barbecue stick instead of a toothpick.

[@pamelaraybould5413]

For years I have been putting up with a low flame on one of my cooker burners, but after following your advice my cooker is like new. Thanks a million, I had been thinking that I would have to get a new cooker.

[@ralphcowling2417]

Really great, thank you. I just sorted all of my hobs with this! One extra tip: when the lids are off, once you've done a good bit of gouging around you can run the gas to pop all the small pieces out. If you put the lid back on it stops the gas from pushing the debris out of the valve.

[@danielocampo1505]

I used a small wire to clean the hole in fear of breaking the toothpick and it worked! Thank you for sharing your discovered knowledge. Ok back to cooking with much joy!

[@tacengland9513]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I had a burner that hadn't worked in p over 2 years and it didn't work all that great when I bought new. Now it's flaming better than ever!

[@dva1946-WpAppsForThat]

Ok I have to admit this fixed it in 5 seconds. Used a sewing stick pin, looked in, could be clogged, so swirled around the stick pin. Magically cleaned it and now our recently purchased home has 4 good burners. Thanks for your video, Dave

[@FamilymaninPa]

I now have a fully functional large front burner thanks to you. Thanks so much!

[@dougjoubert6664]

This took less than 30-seconds and my gas burner is ROARING again. Thank you so much!

[@gdamitjanet]

Thank You! I just bought a used stove and all the burners were low output. You just saved me a service call.

[@joejoanneblack3665]

Thank you!! I didn't think the port had any debris/buildup in it - it did. Your video saved me plenty of heartburn and $$$.

[@Madamvijaya]

You deserve a standing ovation! I use needle and did the same way because my new stove hole is too small. And this trick make wonders. Thank you so much ❤

[@smitaamin]

Thank you for the video - none of my rings were working but after watching this i was quickly able to resolve the issue and you saved me a good few hundred pounds and time. Thank You so much.

[@seikocitizenwatches]

I was thinking about replacing my 11 years old oven stoves because of dismally low flames in the main burner then I happened to see this video and bingo, I took just one minute to bring back strong flam. Thank you.

[@darlenesnyder4083]

My burner stopped working completely and I did what you said and magic! Thank you! I was ready to call a repairman and thst Gould have been prob at least $200 or $300! I appreciate your video!

[@emc3555]

Thank you for this!!!! 🙏🏽 I literally have been thinking my stove is going bad. I did this and now my flame is back! Thank you! I had no idea what was wrong

[@nad5340]

Thanks for the tip!! Fixed in one minute what I’ve dealing with for a year 😅

[@ivijoel]

Thanks man! You came in clutch with this video. Worked like magic 🙏🙏

[@andreaanderson7076]

It works! We had 3 problem burners and this simple solution fixed our burners in 30 seconds. Thank you!

[@jmanahan]

Fixed both of my front burners. Been dealing with the low flame issue for months! Thank you!!

[@xleafr]

Bought a house, dealt with low burners for a year now. Just watched this video and jammed the toothpick down every burner. All are burning higher now. Thank you.

[@helenroberts897]

Hope it works. Thanks.

[@robertsandberg8846]

My gas range had the exact problem with the same burner. I went in the kitchen, took off the same "top" looked down through the hole where the gas source was and proceeded to use a wire coat hanger to open the hole up. Waalah! What a nice flame I now have! Thank you for the simple, but very effective tip. Now all I need to figure out is why my oven doesn't heat up when I turn it on. Thanks again!!

[@lilianngoziadoh-ogbuta9496]

I was frustrated by my burners. The 4 burners were bringing out very low flame and I was considering buying a new gas cooker entirely when I stumbled on this video. I did this for all the burners and they are working perfectly. Thanks man for sharing

[@pattyalba6668]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I spent 2 hrs cleaning the stove yesterday, TRYING to get my flames higher. I had no idea about this LITTLE TINY HOLE! Happy day for your video! Cant thank you enough!

[@Fluffy_Fox_Wearing_Socks]

Thanks for posting this! Literally saved me a few hundred dollars as I was about to call for a service visit. Cheers!!

So simple yet so affective. Thank you very much.

Excellent video. My stove now works like new. Thanks for the tip.

[@saltonan8753]

Thank you… just did what you posted and my burners are now working perfectly-

[@joshuanixon6843]

I was about to get my house inspected for sell and this was my only concern. It worked...you saved me some negotiating cost!

[@erikallen81]

I almost got scared when the burner ignited!!! I wasn't used to that much flame!!!! Awesome man. Thank you so much!

[@laughing-cat]

Thank you so much for posting this!! You just helped me fix two of my low burners that I've been putting up with for years!

[@fiftyfreestylin]

Exactly right....amazing what we decide to live with. I just freed mine up after months.

[@pakakeoindustries9914]

Please help me one the gas stove is switching its self ,when you try to switch it on .

[@kylekoenig4730]

@@pakakeoindustries9914 like one lights then the flame travels to another burner?

[@user-lz8yl6db3h]

This worked so well. Thanks a ton. I was about ready to spend $$$ to get new burners and valves. I used a thin copper wire instead of a tooth pick. I didn't want to lose wood shavings in the jet.

[@ohimemamasan6216]

Just did this and it worked perfectly! Saved me a lot of money not having to call in a handyman! Thank you

[@bod371]

Thank you very much! I would’ve never figured this out ! Works like a charm now

[@sellahom]

OMG thank you, I have been trying to figure this out for months!

[@arturomarengo]

Very usefull advice and more importantly, straight to the point. Thanx for posting this.

[@YuvakTuladhar]

Mine was gunked up too. Thank you for showing me this. Out of four burners, only one was working. Now they all work like new. Yeah!! My wife is happy!!!

[@emmabbyreborns341]

Exactly what I needed. It worked like a charm. Thank you, thank you!

[@Iasia_Alshabazz]

6/17/2023 I just did this. THANK YOU IT WORKED PERFECTLY -!!!! You just got a new subscriber!! I was so frustrated from the low flames now the flame like normal.

[@tompainting2595]

Terrific. Worked like a charm. My wife thinks I'm a magician

[@rozrox9130]

I just gave it a try and it returned to a high flame as it was created. THANK YOU!!!

[@ajkeysor]

THANK YOU!!! I kept on looking for a fix on my barely functioning burners (two in front), and was told to adjust the flame. Of course this did not fix my burner. I was about to give up and get a whole new stove and then found this. 2 minutes later, my problem is fixed and my stove has a new lease on life.

[@stran8815]

Thank You. After spending an hour trying to take stove top apart and was about to give up. then I found this video. Less than 5 minutes with a simple toothpick . Yay

[@harried.7122]

Excellent video and extremely helpful. I've been trying to find the answer and every other video was related to the ignitor or the port the gas flows to the ignitor. I watched you video and even though the main gas hole looked clean, I went ahead and used a straightened large paper clip to clean the hole and now I have instant lighting of the burner and a very robust flame! Super simple repair and I went ahead and cleaned all the other burner gas ports as well due to the simplicity of the repair. Thank you for the video!

[@adaq5217]

Amazing! I was so doubtful about it but turned out super effective!

[@hjoe4473]

Worked as shown. Good explanation of what caused the problem. The fix was simple and effective. Thank you so much

[@ronicajohnson198]

Thank you so much. I'll admit, I was suffering in silence. I'm so glad this was an easy fix!!

[@softwareofficesolution647]

Excelente explanation and I adjusted it to mine and worked perfect! Thanks!!!

[@motionmasanga7457]

Excellent 👌 thank you, just fixed my Smeg gas burner and now working perfectly.

[@whiteroseuk]

Yes! Thankyou for this 'fix' just applied it to one of my low burning gas cooker rings and now it works perfect. Brilliant

[@dcgirl919]

Thought we'd have to get rid of the stove. This actually worked ---- saved us $$. Thank you so much!!

[@crissy7399]

TOTALLY WORKED!! Prior to using the toothpick, it was very uneven. It wasn't too low, but one side way too high and it was also slow to light. Works great now thanks!

[@nks1001]

Very effective solution, saved me a lot of time and money, thanks a lot for sharing this

[@user-re2zu7vp7f]

Simple, quick and did the job. I couldn't fit a toothpick into the hole, so I used very thin copper wire. Many thanks!

[@DaveAbercrombie1]

Yep, I was certain I had to replace something, and this was exactly the problem. You da man! Thank you!

[@StankLip]

Thank you! I knew there had to be a way to unclog our slow burner but had no idea it was so easy.

[@tanuoberoi2749]

Thanks a tonn ...i was in the same situation from from last one day and thinking of what could be done ..but then i searched for the issue and your video popped ...though the burner was not same yet i still managed to do something with the toothpick 😝 and the highest level of flame came back within no time🎉🎉🎉

[@johntbd]

Thank You. I have watched so many videos that never got to this advice. Simple. BOOM! Working now.

[@davidcampagna2223]

WOW! I used a brush thats used to clean out an airbrish (micro tube brush) and cleaned all the burners on my stove in 1 min. Thank you!! I do think that using a tooth pick leaves the potential for the tip to break off in the valve and then you have bigger issues.

[@treehugnhipi3765]

i used a large paper clip that i straightened out so that would not happen. 😎

[@lennygid8452]

OH MATE!!!! im excited! thank you very much 3 years without the large burner and then just in a minute it's all fixed!

[@pfw824]

Wow. That worked!!! I've been struggling with that burner for a year. Finally just quit using it. Thank you.

[@danielaguilar8830]

Thanks Brother. You just made my day very much worthwhile after fixing my stove burner per your instruction. Big shout out to you man!

[@jm452]

thank you for sharing. It has been bothering me for months. Just fixed my problem after watch the video.

[@rohitrana8333]

Well done .. have been struggling fr so long .. worked great .. thank you ..

[@johnparsons5010]

GE ceramic top range. I was expecting a remove/repair/replace operation on a valve or burner top. This fixed it perfectly in mere SECONDS. Thanks, Hero! Subscribed

[@AxeMurderer1983]

wow, amazing! I was worried I had to call a technician, but indeed just cleaning the hole with a toothpick, it was such a tiny bit of carbon material but it made a huge difference! I couldn't get water to boil, not past 195 degrees, but after cleaning it's hitting 212 degrees no problem! great!

[@pdobey]

Thank you.. it worked! The smallest burner in our one had such a tine hole, I had to strip a wires coating and get a about 4 threads of thin copper wire hairs bound together and use it as the cleaner.
