I had been cooking for years on my General Electric stove top range. Then I started to notice that the tip of the gas flame were orange.

This post shows the four steps taken to correct the orange flame on the General Electric stove top range.  

Step 1: Fig.1 shows the General Electric Stove Top Range parts being removed for cleaning. This cleaning was done because the gas flame had yellow tip gas flames. Fig.2 shows stove top range has orange gas tips. If your stove has orange tipped flames click here.

Step 2: It's important to know your appliance parts before an appliance technician comes to your home. Below are the parts from the top of the stove top range that can be washed in a dishwasher or hand cleaned. Within parenthesis below are the PartSelect number for example: PS= PartSelect + number (PS955123).  

  • Fig.3 shows a double grate burner (PS955123). When cleaned make sure all the rubber feet are still on the grate. Dishwasher safe.

  • Fig.4 shows next inspect both the double burner grate foot (PS955123) to make sure that each grate foot is on the grate. A missing grate foot could explain uneven cooking. The range tips are rubber. There should be 4 tips per grate and two grate per stove top for a total of 8 rubber tips. Dishwasher safe.

  • Fig.5 shows the round gray flat piece of solid metal is the first part of the assembly and is called a ASM Burner Cap (9500) its job is to deflect the flames into a nice round circle. Dishwasher safe.

  • Burner Head - Medium (PS1020327) and inspect it to see if any metal fatigue, or cracks have formed on the burner head. Dishwasher safe. Fig.6 and Fig.7 shows there are two sizes of burner heads on this model. The large Burner - Large - 12000 BTU (PS1019441). Repeat step 4 to make sure it is safe. This part places the gas in a circle and give the gas tips an even flame. Dishwasher safe.

  • Fig.8 shows the Gas Knob from the D-shaped shaft metal shaft. Check each knob individually (PS952206). The knob (white or black) are usually on the right side of the stove rage. The knobs allow the gas to be increased from 1 to 10. The knobs job is turn of the gas igniter to flame up the gas for cooking. The gas knob clip - Black (PS952314) (located underneath stainless maintop). is a seal control. Dishwasher safe.

  • Fig.9 shows all the parts in dishwasher with your regular dishwasher soap, we use tablets. Run it through a normal wash cycle and let them dry in the dishwasher before installing them on the stove.

  • The black seal (PS952314) is on the stove stop beneath the black knob.  
  • This part can not be cleaned into the dishwasher. 
  • The seal will get damaged.

    The Spark Module (PS952864) can not be seen because it below the stainless steel stove top. The Top Burner Spark Electrode (PS952858) create a spark to the bottom of the burner cap. If the gas igniter did not glows the gas will not light. The igniter can be cleaned around the top of the stove only. Its the white dot on the right side. After cleaning try the igniter if it still does not start let the igniter dry with a hair blower to remove any moisture within it. The white piece is the Surface Burner Igniter Switch Assembly Harness (PS1993848) replacement part (WB18T10339) is for cook tops is located underneath the stainless steel range top.  
  •  Fig.12 there are three stainless screws per burner. These also should not be cleaned in the dishwasher they are to small and will bet lost. 6-32 CA OVT-15 5/8 (PS1480660).
