Brilio.net - When LPG runs out, the use of the stove becomes hampered. However, after getting new gas, other problems often arise. One common problem is a hissing sound coming from the regulator when installed.
This hissing sound is usually caused by too much pressure inside the regulator, which can cause a gas leak. If not handled immediately, this condition has the potential to cause a fire risk. In a panic, many people tend to immediately take the regulator to a repairman.
However, before you rush to a repairman, there are steps you can take yourself to solve this problem. This way, you can not only save money but also handle the problem without requiring special skills.
One method shared by YouTube user @Tusriaman shows a simple way to fix this problem. As reported by brilio.net on Friday (3/1), all you need is one tool: a screwdriver.
By following the right steps, you can overcome the hissing sound on the LPG gas regulator easily and safely.
First, open the top of the regulator. No need to pry, just pull the regulator cover.

Once done, pay attention and look for the regulator lever section. This lever is shaped like a plus (+) symbol in the middle of the regulator.
"Well, the way to do it is to just loosen it, turn it counterclockwise with a screwdriver. This is to eliminate the buzzing sound in the regulator," he explained further.

If you think it's enough, reinstall the regulator cap. Because the lever has been loosened, there is no more hissing sound coming from the gas.
"The result is like this, the sound becomes softer or even disappears," he said.

No need to worry, because this method is guaranteed safe. That way, you can immediately turn on the stove as usual.
"God willing, it's safe as long as the gas coming out is still stable, meaning the regulator membrane is in normal condition. If it doesn't work, usually the gas will spray out in large quantities when the stove is turned on, which is a sign that the regulator can be replaced," he said.
