I'm having a difficult time getting the old burner Uninstalled -- any tips? Seems like it's far too long and is wedged in the bottom of the Grill..

I had to remove the four flash guards and then the bar that runs the entire length of the back. Don't remember using any tools, but it was a tight fit. Once everything is removed from the inside maybe see if you can get a tad more room by maneuvering where the burner attaches to the control knobs. If you could pull those forward then push them back into the new burner would that give you enough room?

Well I didn't have that issue uninstalling but I did have to loosen the front knob assembly to install the new burner. The gas flow tube extends from the knob. If the old burners extension is to long then you can't pull it away far enough to make the angle to pull it out. So my recommendation would be to loosen the whole front panel so you can pull it out far enough so the feed tubes clear your old burner. Hope this helps

There are a couple of things you can do. First remove the grate and wash it (either dishwasher or by hand). You should now be able to wipe out the lower part of the grill with hot soapy water. Before replacing the grill, turn on the burner to burn off any materials that landed on the burner. Over time, you'll end up with materials in the grill that are pretty difficult to remove, but they kind of turn to char over time...adding to the flavors!

What I do is pull the burner off for a few minutes to let it cool off. Then put a piece of plastic over the hole and put the burner back on to hold it.

There should be everything you see in the picture. What you can't see is a copper rod used to help hold up the burner. The rod slides through holes on either side of the metal part that holds the burner. You also can't see the burner or the grill grate. Anything else?

I bought a burner the same size as my old one. Both are 17" long. I did use screws to attach it to the bottom of the grill and it works just fine. I do not know what model grill I have. I repaired a free grill.

I have one just like yours. Make a schedule to clean your grill at least every other month. Check the burners for blocked holes. Dirt and grease built up will for sure lower the heat output. Buy new burners from Weber website. Its tech support people are great.

The teflon coating on my unit's burner has also mostly disappeared. I know it's strictly a cosmetic issue, but it's still aggravating and ugly to look at nonetheless.

That must be a defect in your grill. I've not had that problem. It might be cheaper to buy a new one (I got one at BigLots for 28.99) than sending it back.

Same happened to mine. cheap metal vent, don't like it... but unscrewing/lossening the nut on the inside sort of worked out. Managed to unstick it, but handle broke. Contacted Vision Grill.... not response. Contacted again.... no response. Called, no answer or call back. 5 year warranty that seemingly cannot be acted upon. contacting Costco, where I bought it.

Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook. I wonder what would happen if you heated it up again (with good ventilation so your smoke alarm doesn't go off!). Maybe it would burn off like what you'd do with your gas grill. It might even help to brush some cooking oil on the remnants to help them burn/flake off. Otherwise I guess you can try just scraping with something that won't scratch it too much; maybe try wetting the grills a little by placing some wet cloths on them (since you can't actually soak them); then either scrape or see if it will cook off once the burnt stuff is softer. Good luck. I hope I'll be able to see a response that states how you made out. Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook.

I found the information I needed by going to the GE website and searching in their archives. I had the same symptoms and after ordering and replacing I found the old burner had a 'blow out' in the coil preventing a complete circuit. It wasn't hard to replace, on my stove I had to open the oven door and undo a couple of screws on the stovetop lip and raise it like a car hood. I would recommend taking pictures of the old unit showing the screw locations and wire locations as this makes it easier to replace everything. The replacement part mounting hole number were off but thanks to the picture I replaced it in same location.

The fuse is a problem. After a year of use the grill blew the fuse. There were no instructions for changing. A search of the internet supplied an explanation of the problem and instructions for repair. Unless you are electrically inclined it is best that the grill be trashed or given to someone who has the repair skills. It would cost to much to have repaired. Best to buy a new one. It is a good grill so I bought another one. It is to bad that Krups is so customer unfriendly. The fuse should be accessible and instructions for its replacement should be a part of the product.

I have brushed the burner unit and part of it does lite up, but not the whole thing. Yes, I can get most of it lit up with a match, but not all. How often does one need to change the igniter? I've already changed it once.

I have had similar problems with mine. I have to play with the flame size adjustment on the bottom of the insert. I've also had issue with the insert not wanting to recharge it's butane. Over all I am unhappy with this lighter insert.

I was actually wondering how to clean the fans inside as well. I can't figure out how to get the grills off. I can't even find the user manual online...not sure where box is. And I am not sure what the 800 # is to call.

I have a bit of trouble with this too.Trick is :DO NOT un screw the bottom. You are going to have to to sit on your butt , take your right leg and pull on the plunger till it locks to the notch on the bottom. What ever you do , do not knock the plunger . insert the cartridge open end down. Peel off the top of the cartridge .Screw the top of the grease gun down.There is no reason ever to remove the bottom of the grease gun. This is the best grease gun I have ever owned.

I can't find one either...it's ridiculous. Makes me want to sell it and go back to the 22.5 One Touch, where at least you can get replacement grills at your local hardware store.
