Frigidedare furnace ONE single burner (out of 4) is sputtering after ignition. I’m not a tech but very handy and mechanical.

Dirt in the orifice that feeds the burner
Insufficient pressure
Too much air
These are the first 3 things I might check
Do you have a pressure gauge (manometer) for checking gas pressure?
Is it an end burner or a middle burner?
Is it propane of natural gan?
Finally, If this is not your profession... Have you had a professional maintenance performed on your equipment?
Some people do their own oil change and maintenance, some take their Ford to a dealer. Heaters need maintenance too!
Have you ever asked for an air filter for a Ford? The first question the counter man will ask is " Model and Year of the car?" so... your Frigidedare... How old and does it have a model number?
A picture of the heater and of the problem burner can be very helpful tooEdward Young Retired
After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?
