Gas leak in oven valve

I found myself this morning with the (very literal) headache of a gas leak. Smell led me to the oven of my old stove. I removed the main pipe from the oven valve, applied soap to the valve exit, and it bubbles slowly alright. I don't ever use the oven, so I don't care for replacing the valve. So...

1. What easy ways to seal it are tehre? I don't mind messing the pipe in the process.
2. The pilot exit from the valve lets out a lot of gas, is that normal? I know it has a safety valve on the igniter, and it seems to be working (no bubbles on the pilot), but shouldn't the main valve close both pipes?

Thanks in advance.

LG Stove Burner Issue

I have an LG glass top stove (can't access the model# at the moment, sorry). When I turn on the back right burner, the front right burner comes on as well, and I can't turn the front burner off unless I turn the back one off. When I turn on the front burner by itself, none of the other burners come on. Everything on the stove is digital, so there are no knobs to turn. We tried pulling the plug for a few minutes then plugging it back in, but that didn't help.

LGR3081 LG Oven reaches temp then won’t reignite

My LG oven reaches temperature but then won’t reignite, tested the heat sensor and reads 1078 the igniter looks good as well no cracks. I have shut the oven off even cut power and can’t get it to reignite until the temp is at 100 then I have to hit start and it will do the same thing get to desired temp and shut off, the igniter is glowing during the cool down so it’s trying to ignite, on a side note this model has convection oven as well and the fan quit working about a year ago any thoughts on what to try next.
Thanks

conversion of drop-in rangetop to LP butane

I have a new (sept. 18, 2018) Frigidaire stove top, model fgc30s4dcb in a house that is completely off-grid. The rangetop has four burners that are not burning properly. All burners have little adjustment, have yellow in the Flame occasionally, and the smallest burner is weak and puts lampblack on pots. I do not trust the tech that was supposed to have converted it to lp butane. Is there a kit with good instructions? Can you identify the jet sizes that are supposed to be used in this cooktop with Butane? I am willing to buy the kit and install it myself, but I cannot find the correct Jet size to use for the burners. Is there a pressure regulator that needs to be adjusted? Where would it be located in a drop-in cooktop? Any help that you can provide will be appreciated since the house is located in a remote area and getting a service tech out is virtually impossible.Thank you.

wall oven wont heat up

I have a wall mounted GE double oven. I have had an issue recently where the upper oven works completely fine, however the lower oven does not. If i turn it on to either bake or broil it will go on for a few moments and then shut itself off. The digital display works fine. There are no error messages. I dont think it is even heating up on the lower. I replaced the broiler element as i thought it might be the issue but no change.

Samsung Range/Oven NE595R0ABSR/AA LCD Broken numbers

Hello I have this Oven range NE595R0ABSR/AA.
We have broken numbers in this piece DE92-03045F. We bought the piece and the the company sent us 4 pieces and all the 4 new ones are the screen black and you don’t hear clack sound at the beginning. Each time we place the old one with broken numbers you hear clack and the clock is on, of course with broken numbers, but immediately turns on. But the company, sent 4 pieces and all pieces are wrong dead without hear clack at the beginning is rare no? Or what could be the problem? If I buy in samsung again the piece DE92-03045F what will happen, the same, dead screen or is there something to do?

Or what is the piece that corresponds similar to DE92-03045F or any link to another place with the correct one? But is there something to do when you change it because 4 pieces with same kind of error, I don’t believe that, that 4 pieces dead screen and no clack sound when you plug to the wall the range. And the old one, broken numbers, but when you return to the range and when you plug to the wall the range immediately there is the clack sound and the clock comes alive with the broken numbers, but there it is on. Then what could be the problem? 4 defective pieces? Or is there something to do? Or what piece I buy? In samsung and the appliances stores according with serial number they conclude that the DE92-03045F, but maybe is needed to activate something? I can’ believe 4 pieces came with problem and when you place the old one from factory runs in a second very well.

Thank you
