Can you convert a Frigidaire gas range to propane?
Yes. The Frigidaire gas range model FFGF3019LWF is factory set for natural gas, and it can be converted to LP (propane) using the correct LP conversion kit and the kit instructions; installation and conversion should be done by a qualified technician.
What the conversion involves
Converting to propane is more than swapping a fitting. A proper LP conversion typically includes:
- Installing the correct LP orifices (burner spuds) for surface burners and the oven burner
- Converting the range pressure regulator from natural gas to LP/propane settings
- Adjusting burner flames after conversion for clean ignition and stable operation
- Leak testing all gas connections after reassembly
Safety steps we follow first
If you ever smell gas during setup or after conversion:
- Do not try to light the range
- Do not touch electrical switches
- Call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone
- If you cannot reach the gas supplier, call the fire department
Key gas pressure details (why the regulator setting matters)
Your range is designed around specific manifold pressures:
| Fuel type | Typical manifold pressure | Minimum inlet pressure example |
|---|---|---|
| Natural gas | 4" water column | At least 5" water column |
| LP/Propane | 10" water column | At least 11" water column |
Where to find the right instructions
We recommend using the model-specific documentation so the correct steps and regulator orientation are followed for FFGF3019LWF: see the FFGF3019LWF installation guide.
Why it matters
Using the wrong conversion kit or skipping regulator conversion can cause poor ignition, soot, weak oven heat, or unsafe gas operation. Correct parts, correct pressures, and a proper leak test protect your home and help the range cook evenly.

How do I reset my Frigidaire gas oven control board?
To reset the control on your Frigidaire FFGF3019LWF gas range, do a power reset: turn the range OFF, shut off power at the breaker (or unplug it) for 1 to 5 minutes, then restore power and reset the clock. Use the FFGF3019LWF owner’s manual for control and clock steps.
Safe reset steps (recommended)
- Turn all oven and surface burner knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press Clear/Off (or the OFF key) to stop cooking.
- Turn power OFF at the circuit breaker (preferred) or unplug the range.
- Wait 1 to 5 minutes to let the control fully discharge.
- Restore power.
- Reset the clock and test Bake and Broil.
If the display shows an error code after the reset
A reset clears many temporary glitches, but a repeating code usually points to a part or wiring issue.
Common next checks:
- If the oven will not ignite within about a minute, suspect a weak igniter or burner ignition problem.
- If the oven heats erratically, check the temperature sensor connection and condition.
- If multiple burners click constantly or won’t spark correctly, check the spark system.
Parts that commonly relate to “won’t heat” or ignition symptoms
| Symptom after reset | What it often points to | Example part for FFGF3019LWF |
|---|---|---|
| No bake ignition, no heat | Oven igniter not drawing enough current | Range oven igniter 5304509706 |
| Clicking/sparking issues | Spark module or switch/harness | Range spark module, igniter switch/harness |
| Temperature swings | Oven temperature sensor | Range oven temperature sensor |
Power outage note (important)
If you are resetting after a power failure, keep all oven controls set to OFF before power returns. The oven igniter can re-ignite automatically when power resumes if the thermostat/control was left ON.
Why it matters
Resetting the control board is a fast way to clear a locked keypad, a stuck display, or a one-time fault. If the problem returns immediately, focusing on ignition, sensor feedback, or the control board itself prevents repeated shutdowns and inconsistent baking.

How long do Frigidaire gas ranges last?
Most Frigidaire gas ranges, including model FFGF3019LWF, typically last 13 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Keeping burners clean, using correct flame size, and fixing ignition or heating problems early helps you get the full service life.
What affects lifespan the most
- Cleaning and spill control: baked-on spills and grease can clog burner ports and stress ignition parts.
- Ignition system wear: frequent clicking, delayed ignition, or weak sparking can shorten component life.
- Oven heat accuracy: overheating or underheating can point to sensor or control issues that should be corrected.
- Ventilation and safe use: using the range correctly reduces heat damage and safety risks.
- Timely repairs: replacing a failing part early often prevents secondary damage.
Quick maintenance checklist (monthly and as-needed)
- Wipe up boilovers quickly; keep burner heads and caps seated correctly.
- Adjust the surface burner flame so it does not extend past the pan edge (a safer, more efficient burn).
- Avoid storing items in the oven or using the range to heat the room.
- If the oven takes too long to ignite or won’t heat, inspect common wear parts and wiring connections.
- Follow the care and cleaning steps in the FFGF3019LWF owner's manual.
Common “wear parts” and what they usually cause
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part for FFGF3019LWF |
|---|---|---|
| Oven won’t ignite or ignites slowly | Oven ignition | Range oven igniter 5304509706 |
| Burner keeps clicking or won’t spark reliably | Spark/ignition circuit | Range spark module 5304508269 |
| Oven temperature seems off | Temperature sensing | Range oven temperature sensor 316233903 |
Why it matters
A gas range can run for well over a decade, but small issues (like a weak igniter or misadjusted flame) can increase cooking time, waste gas, and strain components. Using the operating and safety guidance in the FFGF3019LWF installation guide also helps prevent avoidable damage.
