# Grill signal Yellow or orange flame

### What the appliance is actually reporting

Air and gas are no longer mixing in the proportion the burner was designed for. The maker’s own guide treats this as a question rather than a code, and the likely answers are all mechanical: an obstruction in the burner inlet or the venturi tube, ports blocked by grease and carbon, or a regulator that has gone into its limiting mode. In South Florida the obstruction is very often a nest — insects find a venturi tube an excellent place to spend a season, and a grill left under a cover all summer is an invitation.

### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to

On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.

### Which machines this one applies to

no code is displayed — the flame is the message. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 4 of the appliance types this site publishes — bbq grill, cooktop, oven and range — and publishes none at all for bbq grill, beverage center, outdoor kitchen appliance, range and range hood. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.

### What to do about it

- Note whether it is one burner or all of them. One is nearly always that burner; all of them is nearly always the supply or the regulator.
- With the gas off and everything cold, look into the burner inlet and the venturi tube for an obstruction.
- Do not carry on cooking on it while you decide. A badly mixing flame deposits soot on food and on the inside of the hood.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 526-4714](tel:+13055264714) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
