Most common issues on this model
- Grill burner ignition and radiants
- Six burner flame quality
- Electric oven bake and broil heat
- Grease buildup under the grill
- Door gasket and hinge condition
Here is a 48-inch dual fuel range with six gas burners and a built-in grill, the RDU-486GL, from the DCS Professional line. It is usually found in large kitchens where the grill sits under a strong hood and the electric oven handles the baking.
The grill is what we check first on this layout. We look at how it lights, the evenness of the flame, and whether grease and food residue have built up on the radiants or the burner ports, which is the usual cause of weak or uneven heat. The six cooktop burners get tested for ignition and flame shape next, followed by the electric oven section for bake and broil heat and temperature accuracy.
Because a grill range can collect grease where it is hard to see, tell us when you book if you have noticed smoke or a burning smell. This older model has some scarce parts, so we confirm them before the repair and quote a written price, with a 30-day workmanship warranty on our work. A licensed plumber handles any gas line work beyond the range. The model and serial number come from the label.

Error codes this model can show
My grill flame looks weak. Is it the burner?
It might be grease or debris in the burner ports, or a worn igniter. We clean and test the grill burner before recommending any part.
Is it safe to use the grill if I smell gas?
No. Turn off the burner, close the gas supply if you can do so safely, and ventilate the room. Call your gas provider or a licensed plumber for the supply, then call us for the range.
What separates the 486GL from the 486GD?
The 486GL has a grill where the 486GD has a griddle. Both are 48-inch dual fuel ranges with six burners, but the grill brings its own radiants to inspect.
