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 op-
erating 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.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS OF GAS APPLIANCES
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a differ-
ent gauge material from the rest of the fi rebox
and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses
of steel will expand and contract at slightly
different rates which can cause "ticking" and
"cracking" 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 fi reboxes.
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 fl ame 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.
