It often happens that Kenmore Range has weak flame after years of effective usage. One of the most common causes for weak or uneven flames on your gas cooktop is because the burner head has grown dirty. To clean the burner slots, you should use something solid that is not likely to break off inside the slot, such as scrubbing it with a toothbrush or using a small piece of sturdy wire. However, if this does not clean the slots completely, you will want to disconnect the burner head and soak it in a solution of warm soapy water to loosen the grease and food particles. Before removing your burner head, you will want to shut off the gas to your stove and disconnect it from its electrical source for safety. To remove the burner head for cleaning, you simply need to unscrew the mounting screws and remove it. In some models, you will also need to remove the igniter electrode that is built into the burner head. In this case, you simply need to unplug the electrode from the stove assembly below and gently pull it out of the burner head. This will need to be put back in after the burner head is cleaned and dried completely. If none of the above solves or even seems responsible for your issues, then there may indeed be a need for a part replacement in your future. For example, if your stove has a very weak, but still very even flame, then it is the control valve that is to blame. We strongly recommend avoiding DIY as it might be risky for your safety.
