Is anyone else having trouble with the regulator?

I just had the regulator fail after three years. Took the regulator apart and it was badly gunked up, and the back plate was rusty. Cleaned it up and got intermittent success, I think the center seal is shot. Finally caved in and removed the regulator, I'll use an external regulator for now rather than pay $60+ for an OEM replacement.

I had that problem at first. Then I discovered that I was setting the fuel supply to rich. By just barely cracking the fuel valve open--mine start just fine. Between me and my friends, we have about ten of these in operation at this time.

Sorry, I had to replace mine with a KWIKEE also and still can't find someone to hook it up right. If you ever find someone to fix it where it works right let me know.

I had this problem from day one and found that a smooth slow shut off will eliminate the drip in the directions it mentions a water pressure regulator I believe that would probably end the problem.....Just a guess

My husband has ours hooked up like that now. He said as long as you use the regulator it will work.

I thought it was just me, I have the same issue. I'm sorry I don't have a suggestion for a solution, I'm hoping my brother-in-law who is electrician will be able to help me this weekend.

Make sure you turn on the gas on the tank fully before opening the needle valve on the regulator. There is a safety mechanism that limits flow if the regulator does not sense the full pressure from the tank. Otherwise, either the tank or the regulator may be faulty.

I have the same problem. It worked fine in the first 6 months but now it stops working without holding down the pressure.

mine worked OK for a while but then I could not get it to light.I finally put on a new regulator and it worked for a while but it is now dead again. You can disconnect the hose afyer the regulaoor and turn on the gas to see if anything is getting thru.

I just bought the same thing and am having the same problem. The only way I can get control (and only briefly) is to unplug the transformer and plug it back in. I even changed the battery in the remote.

Hi Alan, not sure about your question but i've had 2 of these regulators fail on me. both within a month of receiving. see other similar reviews. this is not a reliable part. D

I didn't use a regulator, I just got the tank from home depot. I've stopped using the Magnet, it's only worth buying one if you have the time and commitment to look after it. It's just to time consuming for me to maintain it. I use DEET spray, works better anyway.

I started having the same problem with mine. I think the unit needs to be returned.

I'm sorry but I can't help with that. The one I have works great. Never had any problems. Try contacting the seller.

I've had my Q1000 for years and have had one problem the grate is starting to show wear. But I have never had a problem with the regulator. As stated, give Weber a call. I love mine.
