Low Medium High

Code Meaning Severity Common Symptom

BURNER-LOCK Control lockout active Low Turning any burner knob produces no click and no gas flow, even though the knob rotates normally. The electronic control has disabled the ignition circuit and, on models with electronic gas valves, the gas path. View FLAME-OUT Burner flame went out Medium A lit burner goes out unexpectedly — not from user action — and the gas valve closes automatically. The flame-failure device (FFD thermocouple) has detected the loss of heat and shut the valve within 30–60 seconds. View GAS-SMELL Gas odor detected High Natural gas and LP are odorized with mercaptan — a compound that smells like sulfur or rotten eggs — specifically so leaks can be detected. Any such odor near the HRTP rangetop is a potential gas leak requiring immediate response. View IGN-FAIL Burner ignition failure Medium Turning the burner knob triggers continuous clicking from the ignition module but the sealed burner does not light. The clicking stops only when the knob is returned to the off position. View LOW-GAS Low gas pressure Medium Instead of a strong blue cone flame, the burner produces a pale, soft, or yellow-tipped flame that does not reach the full burner ring. Cooking times are longer than normal and the burner struggles to maintain a rolling boil. View
