I must say that for almost $7000 I am not that happy with it. Other than the burners being so powerful in terms of BTUs, which tend to burn and scorch even at low settings, the front right burner piezo will not stop sending a spark when the burner on. I contacted Bluestar and all they told me is that a repair service would have to come and inspect the range and that it was not covered under warranty because I installed the range myself. The igniter is obviously defective, so why would I spend a probable substantial amount of money just to have the range inspected? I plan to order a generic igniter and install it myself, or will order one for $35 from Bluestar if I can't find a generic one. Seems a lot of people have problems with these very expensive ranges and their customer services is pathetic. So "Buyer Beware".Richard Heilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368234143928243170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-72809699512340556772020-08-10T18:07:07.593-04:002020-08-10T18:07:07.593-04:00I too have had the igniter screw problem.

My solution was to drill it out with a cobalt bit and use a slightly larger screw than the original. It's a bit precarious, but it has held for a couple of years now, but I imagine it will fail on the next igniter replacement, which is inevitable on these burners. Owning a BS is a bit like owning an MG or a Triumph sports car. They cost a lot to buy and they cost a lot to keep running smoothly. <br /><br />Currently I have the jet engine oven sound and read the post on that. I'll poke around and see if I can jerry rig something for that too. <br /><br />Like many of the posters here, I love and hate the BS. When it works it is awesome. When it doesn't, it's very frustrating. <br /><br />Personally, I'd prefer pilot flames over these stupid automatic clicker igniters. But I guess the electronic ignitions are niftier... if they work. d l nuzumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864918598671031566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-79210003391476926402018-11-28T22:28:06.133-05:002018-11-28T22:28:06.133-05:00I've had such problems recently with my natura...I've had such problems recently with my natural gas stove top. Of note huge poofs when lighting the front 2 burners. Thought I'd replace the ignitor but cant replace my ignitor as the screw is rusted and cannot loosen it.

The original ignitor has an wide open(ceramic tube) on top where spark wire bent out. New one, the top ceramic tube is seal where spark wire bent out. I hope this new improved ignitor last longer or less like broken on overflow water. I own the drop in cooktop for 5 years. This is my 5th ignitors. So far every time is overflow soup or water. Lucky it is so easy to replace. Generally I am very happy with cooking performance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04776505499295331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-59980892387499341482015-02-09T02:20:40.687-05:002015-02-09T02:20:40.687-05:00Brilliant!

The noise might be fixable by adjusting the high and low settings on your burner (check your manual for info). Unfortunately, I don't remember how the noise problem got fixed. It was 4 years ago and we've had much more persistent problems that stand out in my mind more ;) I have an excellent BlueStar rep.

Do you happen to remember what that was from and how they fixed it? Blue Star is "claiming" they have not encountered it. I am able to demonstrate it on the phone and they can hear it. I also have a problem with one of the burners the same as you describe above. I will definately try that. Do you happen to have pictures so we can see the fix?<br /><br />SueAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121685372959447731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-84571356665969546072011-11-18T22:32:23.250-05:002011-11-18T22:32:23.250-05:00Dude, awesome, thanks for the quick fix!Dude, awesome, thanks for the quick fix!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
