NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly
normal due to the fact that there are various
gauges and types of steel used within your
appliance. Listed below are some examples. All
are normal operating sounds and should
not be considered as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
Regency gas appliances use high tech blow-
ers to push heated air farther into the room. It
is not unusual for the fan to make a "whirring"
sound when ON. This sound will increase or
decrease in volume depending on the speed
setting of your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube and logs and is made of a different
gauge material from the rest of the firebox and
body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of
steel will expand and contract at slightly differ-
ent rates which can cause "ticking" and "crack-
ing" sounds. You should also be aware that as
there are temperature changes within the unit
these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is
normal for steel fireboxes.
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
switch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very
slight "whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be
heard throughout the cycling process.
