Repairing Your Grill

While repairing your grill is easy, you need to match the parts to the grill you own. For example, Brinkmann grill parts only work on Brinkmann grills. Don’t try to put a Brinkmann part on any other grill. It could be dangerous. Only universal parts can be interchanged.

The Tank: If you have a new tank and an old grill, the grill’s safety device may be cutting off the fuel. To fix this problem, turn the gas only half way on.

Fuel Hose and Regulator: The regulator attaches to the tank by a  hose with an O-ring to create a seal. Regulators cannot be adjusted by you. The regular has a small vent hole in the center. Common problems here are clogged vent holes. Usually you can clear it by tapping or blowing into the vent. Other problems are fuel leakage caused by a worn or damaged hose or O-ring. To determine if there is leaking mix dish soap and water in equal parts and coat everything from the tank to the venturi tubes. The tank needs to be connected and on but the control valves off.

Control Valves: The controls control the flow of fuel to the burner. Some grills have one control valve and others have several. The valve consists of several components that are specifically designed on a number of factors. You cannot repair a bad control valve. You will have to replace the whole thing.  Before you do, however remove the control valve from your grill and inspect it. Like other parts of your grill, insects love to climb in here and make their homes. At the heart of this is the orifice. The orifice controls the flow of fuel and can become clogged. If it is use a thin wire to clean out. Make sure you put it all back together the way you found it. Without the orifice you cannot control the amount of gas flowing to the burner and run the risk of explosion.

Venturi Tubes: The venturi tubes connect the control valve to the burner(s) and mix the fuel with air to provide flame. To mix the air into the fuel there is an open gap in the fuel line here that can easily become obstructed. Insects like to make this their home so check it out. To keep critter out, attach an aluminum screen that will keep out insects but will not block the airflow.

Another common problem is the tube and the burner do not line up right. Typically the venturi tubes are simply placed in the fuel line and can get knocked out of place. The venturi tubes typically have adjustable shutters. You may need to adjust these to regulate fuel flow.
