Slow Gas Flow

I have a 3 years old Frigidaire PLCF489GC. All burners electrical ignitions work well, but when the flames first come on, they are very small almost as if the setting is on LOW (but it is not, it is on HIGH) it takes about 1/2 a minute for it flames to suddenly come out to the right level. tI feels that the natural gas does not flow correctly when the burners are first light. Any suggestion on what part I need to change? it is the Pressure regulator? Thx.

Hello dibroger,

It seems like the symptoms of low gas pressure supplied to the range. I would recommend contacting your local gas supplier to verify the gas pressure to the range is adequate. If the pressure to the range is enough, possibly the gas regulator in the unit.  Also, please ensure that the burners are clear of obstructions
