Possible Causes
Blocked burner ports, Incorrect burner cap placement, Wrong gas jets (nozzles) fitted for gas type, Insufficient primary air due to blocked air shutters
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off the burner and allow it to cool. Ensure good ventilation when working around gas.
Steps:
- 1. Clean burner parts: Remove burner caps and heads. Soak in warm soapy water, then clear each port with a soft brush or wooden toothpick (never metal wire that can enlarge ports).
- 2. Refit correctly: Ensure the burner head sits flat and the cap is correctly centred. Misalignment causes uneven flames.
- 3. Check gas jets: If the appliance was converted between natural gas and LPG, verify that the correct Indesit gas injectors are fitted for your gas type.
- 4. Inspect air inlets: Under the hob, ensure air inlets and any adjustable air shutters are not blocked by insulation or debris.
- 5. Professional adjustment: If flames remain yellow or noisy, have a gas-safe technician check pressure and adjust air/gas mixture.
