To install gas equipment, it is better to contact a specialist, and you need to follow the work yourself. If you notice that the geyser pops, makes unusual sounds – do not tighten it, contact the service center immediately. In this article we will tell you why the equipment is noisy.
Why does the geyser crackle and bang
The only reason that pops are heard when the gas boiler is turned on is excessive accumulation of gas. For normal operation, it mixes with air and thumps loudly in excess. If the gas fills the chimney, then could be an explosion.
To solve problems, you need to find out what leads to fuel accumulation. Turn off the gas and water supply before starting the inspection.
Why piezo ignition speakers turn on with cotton:
- There is a blockage in the chimney, so there is no or reduced draft.
- The inlet valve that lets gas into the system is deformed.
- The flame of the wick deviates to the side.
In recent models with electronic control, the following could happen:
- The batteries have run out.
- The water switch is broken.
- The spark plug does not fire.
For repairs, contact only a specialist. But you can do an inspection and try to find out the cause yourself.
Poor cravings
To check its presence or absence, light a candle or a match. Bring it to the control hole on the body or the flue outlet. With normal draft, the fire should deviate to the side, with medium draft, it should tremble slightly and deviate slightly. In its absence, the flame will burn evenly. Then, when the hot water is turned on, the device may clap.
If you find a lack of traction, contact the master. It is dangerous to operate the column further.
Why is traction lost?
- Blockage. Debris enters the chimney, it becomes contaminated with soot, which eventually clogs the passage. You can clean the hole yourself if the blockage is shallow. If not, you will have to call the utilities.
- Poor ventilation. Often, after installing plastic double-glazed windows, natural ventilation is disturbed. And since air is needed for traction, work is slowed down. The solution is to install a ventilation valve.
- strong hood. It happens that the fan delays mining, not letting it go up. Therefore, it is better to turn off the hood during the operation of the equipment.
Batteries are dead
Some speakers are equipped with an electronic ignition system. When the mixer is opened, the batteries fire and give a spark, after which the burner turns on. A similar function is implemented in some models “Neva”, “Oasis”, “Electrolux” and others.
How to proceed:
- Discharged batteries do not work during ignition. You can hear something click or crack. To fix the problem, just replace the batteries.
- Check fluid pressure regulator. It is activated when water is supplied and sends a signal to the electronic module to start ignition. It is possible that the element is giving incorrect readings, so the power does not work. The regulator is checked for serviceability with a multimeter. If there is a problem, it will be replaced.
- The spark plug moved. Due to temperature changes, the part is displaced. The candle is held by one screw. Tighten the screw to the desired position, check: if the candle ignites the first time, everything is in order.
Clogged jet (nozzle)
Devices with mechanical piezo ignition are ignited by a wick. If it becomes clogged, the column will not work. It is necessary to remove the casing of the equipment, it is fastened with two screws. Find the wick and clean its jets with wire.
Next to the jets is a burner, which could also be clogged. For this reason, the speaker makes noise, pops and shoots. The burner is cleaned with a brush.
It can also pop due to large impurities in the gas. You can ask your neighbors if they have experienced a similar problem.
If after cleaning the operation of the heater is restored, the operation was successful. Otherwise, you need to contact the service center.
