Clogged fridge coils repair
Your fridge coils can become clogged with dust due to regular usage and environmental factors. Over time, airborne particles like dust, pet hair, and debris accumulate on the coils, hindering their ability to release heat efficiently. This buildup forces the compressor to work harder, leading to increased energy consumption and potential damage to the appliance. Regular cleaning of the coils is essential to maintain optimal performance and prolong the lifespan of your refrigerator.

Even oven flame after repair
A gas oven operates by utilising a burner to heat the oven cavity. When you turn on the oven, the gas valve opens, allowing gas to flow to the burner. A spark igniter or a pilot light then ignites the gas, creating a flame. This flame heats up the oven cavity to the desired temperature set by the user. For optimal performance, it's crucial that the gas oven ignites promptly and maintains a consistent flame throughout the cooking process. Proper ventilation is also essential to ensure the combustion gases are safely expelled from the oven. Additionally, the oven's thermostat should accurately regulate the temperature to ensure even cooking.
If you notice any issues such as delayed ignition, uneven heating, or strange odours, it's important to have your gas oven inspected and serviced by a qualified technician to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Gas stove burner control repair
Gas stove switches, also known as burner controls, are essential components that regulate the flow of gas to the burners on your stove. Each burner on a gas stove typically has its own control knob, which is connected to a switch mechanism.
When you turn the knob to ignite a burner, the switch sends a signal to the gas valve, allowing gas to flow to the burner. Simultaneously, an igniter or pilot light is activated to ignite the gas, creating a flame for cooking.
Properly functioning gas stove switches should allow for smooth and precise control of the burner flame. They should ignite the burner promptly when turned on and shut off the gas supply when the knob is turned to the 'off' position. Additionally, the switches should not produce sparks or emit unusual odors during operation.
If you experience any issues such as difficulty igniting the burners, inconsistent flame levels, or malfunctioning switches, it's important to have your gas stove inspected and repaired by a qualified technician to ensure safe and reliable operation.
A bent gas burner
A bent burner on your gas stove can cause several problems that affect both the functionality and safety of the appliance.
Firstly, it may disrupt the distribution of gas and air, leading to uneven heating across the cooking surface. This can result in food cooking unevenly or taking longer to cook properly.
Moreover, inefficient combustion may occur when a burner is bent, as it may not receive the proper mixture of gas and air needed for efficient combustion. This can lead to wasted gas and potentially harmful byproducts like carbon monoxide.
Safety hazards can also arise from a bent burner, including gas leaks or flare-ups. Gas leaks may occur if the burner is not securely connected to the gas supply, leading to the release of flammable gas into the kitchen environment.
Additionally, uneven flames caused by a bent burner can lead to flare-ups, increasing the risk of burns or kitchen fires.
Furthermore, uneven heating caused by a bent burner can damage cookware, especially if the flames are concentrated in one area. This can result in scorched or unevenly cooked food and may necessitate the replacement of expensive pots and pans.
Overall, a bent burner compromises the performance, efficiency, and safety of your gas stove. It's essential to address any issues with burner alignment promptly to ensure optimal operation and to minimise the risk of accidents or damage to the appliance. If you notice a bent burner on your gas stove, it's advisable to have it inspected and repaired by a qualified appliance technician.
Pine cones stuck in the dryer exhaust vent
Foreign objects stuck in the dryer exhaust vent pose significant problems for both the appliance and the customer. These obstructions restrict airflow, causing the dryer to work harder, leading to increased energy consumption and longer drying times. Additionally, blockages can cause the dryer to overheat, potentially damaging internal components and posing a fire hazard. For instance, we encountered a situation where numerous pinecones obstructed a dryer vent, hindering performance and risking a fire in the customer's home.
Regular maintenance and professional cleaning of dryer vents are essential to prevent such issues, ensuring efficient dryer operation and safeguarding against fire hazards.
Dishwasher Installation
Installing a dishwasher can be challenging for many, even with an instruction manual. Calling in a professional is the wisest option. As experienced appliance installation contractors, Blue Flame Works professionals ensure proper mounting and compliance with electrical and plumbing codes.
