Hello exreyvaldez. Welcome to the Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
If the burner flames are yellow, air shutter needs to be opened. Air adjustment shutter is located on the back end of the burner tube. Opposite end of where the flame is. Shutter may need to be fully opened to obtain an all blue flame.
Orange flames indicate excessive lint is burning. Usually stops or lessens when lint cleaned out of burner area and or entire machine.
Unless you replace the gas control valve with an incorrect one? Wrong fuel type? Guessing here...:confused:
Nat gas or Propane???
