Stove problems – Converting U.S. bought stove to propane

[finca2]

I need some information from those of you who have appliances that use propane. I brought a GE stove here from the US, the instruction said it could be converted to propane… Well.,
the burners work but the oven does not. We have changed out the converter, nothing. Has anyone purchased an oven here, and had any luck. Thanks in Advance for the information.

Have you inquired at any of the many appliance repair stores? There are many talented individuals here that may be able to help.

When you say it doesn’t work are you getting gas flow to the oven burner? Converting from natural gas to propane requires replacing the orifices for each burner unit. They normally come with the appliance or can be purchased from the manufacturer at a minimal cost. With a GE product the information should be available on line. The tough part might be getting the part in CR or having it shipped.

I bought a GE Range here and had it converted to Propane. A G.E. approved tech came out and did the conversion – he had a whole bucket-full of conversion parts. I have had no problems with either Stove or Oven. I suggest you get in touch with G.E. here and get them to put you in touch with the approved tech for your area.
