How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off the furnace if noise is severe or accompanied by smell of gas. Do not attempt to adjust gas settings yourself.

  • Check flue and air intake: Ensure the Kospel flue terminal and air intake are clear of obstructions.
  • Inspect burner (visual only): With power off and panels removed, visually inspect the burner for heavy rust or debris. Do not modify burner ports.
  • Secure panels: Make sure all combustion chamber covers and panels are properly fitted and sealed; loose panels can resonate.

Persistent combustion noise requires a qualified technician to check gas pressure, burner condition, and fan settings.
