Amazing, I just set my Electrolux Icon Oven to the temp I want, choose either regular or convection and take the food out when done. Likewise with the induction cooktop and of course it will blow the doors off the **** **** wne it comes to boiling water or melting chocolate. Don't know about the broiler though, I do that outside, yep On gas, where bangs pops, Spectacular ignites dont tend to worry me.
I hope things get better for You!!!

Gary

Oh wow. I really like your helpful information.

another update:

The propane company came and said that the pressure was 12 WC. Definitely more than enough. I was able to reproduce the jet engine noise problem for them and they definitely agreed it's not supposed to do that. I set the oven to 450F. The first cycle was fine and on the second cycle it started making the noise. I got bluestar on the phone with them and they suggested turning air pressure down to 10-11, which the propane guy did. Though they didn't think that was the cause of the problem. The propane guy disassembled the oven bottom, messed with a lot of thing, but wasn't sure what the problem was. He said that he adjusted the air shutter. That's what Vesco said they did too. We couldn't reproduce the problem, so he left. Of course, as soon as he left, it happened again. On the third cycle of the oven, it started making the jet engine noise and effecting the range top (the burner flames get orange and flickery). Even my "normal" oven operation is usually somewhat noisy -- as if someone is blowing on the flame and it's swooshing around.

Any Bluestar gurus out there? I am desperate! Now I'll be hit with 2 huge bills and I still don't have a solution.

Is the jet noise coming from the burner itself or near the valve or somewhere else? Orange flame usually indicates a rich fuel mixture. Are you sure the LP conversion was installed correctly? Have you requested Bluestar send out their contracted repair person. If you had their white-glove install, there shouldn't be any problems with them coming out.

Honestly this sounds like the LP conversion is bad. LP conversion usually involves reducing the supply orifice to account for the higher pressure of LP supply and greater density of LP gas. If this is not done (or done correctly), I think the result might be what you are describing.

amcook - I believe no white glove on RCS.

That is sad, especially being charged on a brand new stove, under warranty.
I suspects the conversion to Propane has not be done correctly, and of course the stove was never tested on propane before it was delivered. This is CLEARLY a Blue Star warranty problem.
One wonders where "Our Blue Star Guru" is, and why has he not "Voluntered his help"?
I know I had to convert a BBQ that I bought from HD from propane to natural gas--there were a lotta different oriface sizes , I had to deal with,--The ones for the burner were a different size than the one for the grills, the one for the infrared broiler was a different size yet.

Tell Blue Star since they muffed up, not converting and checking that stove, BEFORE, it was shipped that they owe for ALL repair bills on it you currently owe and Come out and fix the thing.
Apparently they aren't reading the posts here, one of the reasons some folks bought the Blue Stars was because of positive post here.
Old saying, (Yep another one!!!)
"One Aw S*** erases a hundred atta boys"!!!!
Good luck!!!!!

"amcook - I believe no white glove on RCS."

Didn't know that.. I sit corrected.

dodge1959,
I think the OP mentioned that it wasn't clear whether it was the contractor or Bluestar that screwed up the order. It'll be almost impossible to determine at this point I'm sure. I assume you paid Vesco to do the conversion and installation? I'd say it's first up to them to make sure that is working or point to a specific issue with the range that needs to be repaired. It's their responsibility to make sure everything is working correctly after they install it unless they identify a manufacturing defect. Frankly, if your GC sub'd the install to Vesco, he's on the hook for resolving it. If he didn't handle the appliance part at all (but it sounds like he was involved in the ordering at least), then Vesco should deal with it. I too had some install issues mainly caused by the installers my dealer sent but they took responsibility and called in a Bluestar contracted repair guy. Not sure if my dealer had to pay for that or if Bluestar did but all I had to do is let the guy in and watch him work. One other option you have is to call your Bluestar distributor. I had calls into my dealer, the regional distributor, and Bluestar support since I was afraid the ball would get dropped. In my case, my dealer was on top of it and called all of them already so my calls were unnecessary.

Sorry, kind of ran my paragraph on.. Starting from the sentence, "I assume you paid Vesco..." I'm addressing the OP not dodge1959.

To my knowledge Bluestar has never screwed up with the gas type, sure wrong ranges have been shipped in error but mostly its the retailer / customer who makes the mistake.

I have miss ordered ranges as have other retailers, so I would suspect the retailer or the customer made the mistake, which means it is not Bluestar's fault.

Why should Bluestar pay for service calls created by a problem that they did not create? when I make a mistake I pay for it to fixed, I pay for the parts and labor, don't blame Bluestar when they are not at fault.

Bluestar has clearly sent the service tech, so they are trying to fix this problem for the customer.

As for volunteering my help (if i am the one you refer too) "that is not going to happen". This customer came to my store cooked on my range, I spent time with her as did Karen, we washed up after her. After cooking she thanked me for all the time and help I had given her then said that she was going to buy it from someone else in Boston. Clearly the other dealer does not have a live range.

So this customer decided to abuse my store and milk Karen and myself of hard earned knowledge knowing full well she was not going to buy the range from me.

END OF STORY

I stand (or at least) stooped corrected. We have seen you be a lotta help here, and I was just wondering (Outloud)(LOL), why you hadn't "Piped in", so to speak.
But now we know, "The Rest of the Story"

Gary

Wow -- I didn't mean to turn this into a Middle East Crisis.

Trevor: Terribly sorry if I offended you and Karen. I tried to be honest when I came into your store that I was committed to a contractor who was doing my installation and would only install the range if I bought it through them. To make up for the trouble of coming in and cooking on your range, I wrote up about my wonderful experience with you on my blog. The last thing I wanted to do was "milk" you. If it came across that way, I am sorry.

My contractor was disappointing. But no one else was going to take such a small, but complicated job (it was a completely finished kitchen that needed granite cut on site to fit the range). I was hoping you might be willing to help me trouble shoot this problem the same way I reply to people who write to me with cooking questions even if they never took classes from me and never will. But I realize now that I've unintentionally offended you, so I understand your reluctance.

I am not trying to get anything for free here. The only reason I mentioned the bills was that no one seemed to know what the problem was but agreed that the oven wasn't running as expected. I am perfectly willing to pay anyone who can fix it.

I'll try to answer the other questions people have asked:

Vesco did the conversion and I wasn't charged for it. Unfortunately, they didn't let the oven run at all after the conversion. They told me I had to burn it in and left before I had a chance to do so. Vesco came out the second time. They were here for 5-10 minutes. They said they adjusted the air shutter, but didn't hang around long enough for me to demonstrate the really loud noise to them (that only happens on the second or third cycle of the oven and usually at high temperatures). Unfortunately, their tool for testing the propane pressure was broken and they told me that the problem I am describing is probably the propane pressure dropping sometimes.

The propane company came and hung around for a while. I was able to reproduce the oven noise problem for them and they thought it was a no-no. They were taking the propane pressure measurement the entire time and it didn't change at all before or after the noise. It stayed at 12 wc. They got on the phone with Bluestar and Matt told them to bring it down to 10-11, but didn't think that was necessarily the cause. They brought it down and we couldn't reproduce the problem, so they left. I had it happen once again, but not as badly as before and it only happened once.

A friend of mine just bought a bluestar from Eurostoves and said that Trevor was very helpful with trouble shooting the problem. He is also on propane and is having the same problem (or so it seems -- he describes it as jet engine noise). He says that it might be the orifice for the oven that needs to be replaced. He is waiting for a technician.

I have another general question about the oven. My oven's normal state sounds as if someone is blowing at the flame and it's constantly reigniting. The easiest way to reproduce that sound is to turn on one of your stove top burners and blow on it couple of times. It makes a whooshing sounds as if it's going to go out, but then reignites. Is that normal? Also when it comes on, it makes a relatively loud puff sound. I do hear banging sometimes when it heats up and cools off from the metal slightly warping. Do I need to worry about that?

Besides all these strange things, it cooks and bakes great! I just want to make sure it doesn't self-destruct in the process.

Now that was an example of true professionalism.

Not sure what ya meant by that tommmy, but it is a sad case , nonetheless, all the finger pointing, including Blue Star, money getting spent, and still no resolution.
A few lessons to be learned here.
(1) Buy The Appilances yourself not thru KD or whoever.
(2) Buy from a replicable dealer (Hopefully near You)
(3) Have a copy of the shipper and or sales receipt
before you pay for it, such paperwork should specify
whether it is Propane or gas --No aftersale conversions
(4) Manufacturershould use like model ABC-N for natural
gas or ABC-P for propane

Things have sure changed since I ran my business. Customer was King. They got a one year warranty for EVERYTHING
I had even repaired some at my expense that were damaged (Slightly) from a nearby lightning strike, and repaired another where the laboratory had been sabatodged all at my Complete expense.
Yea I could do business the way they do now.
Probably have a lot more money than I do now, but------
Ya know what, I have a bunch of letters that say I was the best that ever was, is now or probably will ever be.
Those letters mean more to me than more "Green Stuff"

Again Sure wish all works out Well!!

I was attempting to be semi humorous and pointing out (in my opinion ) some unprofessional conduct and It was not aimed at you Dodge 1959.

No, I didn't assume it was. I guess maybe I go to extremes in what I expect when I buy something, 1st I was a service engineer for a semi large company 23 years, then I ran my own business for 16 year, I just always believed, strongly that the customer is the most important part of any company, and in fact while I worked for the large company I did a lot of training of how to take care of customers.
Still that being said, You buy something, it should work out of the box, if it doesn't it should be fixed straightaway----I guess the problem here is-----who or what caused the problem so it's kinda like the "Old Game" Who's on first, what's on second, where is third-----Somebody needs to "grab the bull by the horns" and fix that thing.
My take anyway

Gary

Wow,this is the setup I want except for NG.

Good to hear the report on the Kobe.

Are there still problems with the ignition modules?
