An orange flame indicates the presence of carbon monoxide resulting from incomplete combustion. It can cause problems related to food, utensils, and human health. Some of the main reasons for an orange flame can be the following:
The normal flame is blue, but if you notice a yellowish-orange flame on the stove, it is a sign of disorder. Burning an orange flame means releasing a large amount of carbon monoxide.
The other thing is that the orifices are clogged for some reason, and sometimes, proper combustion doesn’t occur, resulting in orange flames. Thus, fixing the appliance immediately to prevent any problem is a high priority.
If the flame of the gas stove is burning orange, it means that the gas stove is to be fixed immediately as it is not working properly.
Whenever you see a problem with the colour change of the flame, you should fix it as soon as possible. Having faced this problem more often, we must admit the following factors on why orange flame may appear on your gas stove and how to fix this problem:
Humidifiers are necessary but also change the flame colour from blue to orange. If your humidifier is turned on near any stove, turn it off and see whether that makes a difference.
Make sure you use the proper orifices depending on your range (whether you are using natural gas or propane). Along with this adjustment, ensure that the gas pressure regulator valve was changed and the brass orifice was adjusted.
Ensure that the gas-burning orifices on the stove are clean and free from any kind of waste. You have to clean the stove well so no clogged soot is left in the igniter or the holes. Make certain that all portholes and burners are free of debris. Cooking grease on any spillovers may block these openings and, in turn, affect the colour of the flame.
Another problem that may cause the flame to turn orange is the fuel-to-air ratio. When your burner is not getting enough air, there is no complete combustion of gas. If this is the case, adjust the burner’s air shutter to allow more air.
Orange, red or yellow flames can be very serious and harmful as it is formed due to improper gas stove work. The carbon monoxide (CO) released is poisonous and can cause severe health problems. Carbon monoxide is not a noticeable gas, so we do not even notice that we are inhaling it until it’s too late.
It is advised to deal with the gas stove properly. One should be very careful while using the gas stove. Whenever you find a tiny difference in the colour of the flame, repair it before working on it to prevent substantial consequences.
You shouldn’t worry as long as the stove flame is blue, but whenever it turns orange, you should repair it as soon as possible to avoid any hazards.
Nowadays, we can’t imagine our daily cooking routine without microwaves. They make our life easier and the cooking process quicker, helping us not to waste time in the kitchen but to spend it with our family. Panasonic microwaves are the ones that can mostly be found in every Canadian home.
Panasonic logo appliance repairPanasonic was founded in 1918 aiming to “improve and enhance society” and “advance the culture of the world.” Home appliances and domestic equipment, equipment and systems for manufacturing and logistics, batteries and electronic components for mobility and social infrastructure, etc., provide products and solutions that contribute to all customers’ daily lives and businesses. Panasonic has already embraced new opportunities for over a century – to enrich people’s lives at home and work and move society forward. To that end, they have adopted the brand slogan, which expresses the company’s purpose: “Live Your Best”.
Today we want to pay attention to one of the widely spread microwave problems. If your microwave doesn’t have power up or doesn’t show an LCD display, it can help to troubleshoot this issue in three easy steps. But when you face this issue, it can’t be mentioned that some specific things should be checked:
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and insert another small electric device, such as a lamp, to check the power. Remember that some small device has a ground socket that needs to be reset or switched on to the power.
If there is no power in the outlet, check the circuit breaker of the fused box in the home to ensure that none of the breaks are being tripped. Check the breaker in the fused box – find the correct breaker for the socket for your microwave. If you can see that it is on, push it off for a couple of minutes and then push on to see if it restores the microwave’s power.
If none of the breakers are tripped, try to plug the microwave into another outlet if other devices work. Your microwave should be working properly.
When all things have been done, and the microwave is still not working, you should contact professional technicians to define the problem with your microwave and get it fixed. In the case of the Panasonic microwave, the best thing to contact is Fix Appliances CA – an authorized Panasonic centre in Toronto and other GTA areas with factory-trained staff and all the necessary documents to provide this repair.

A condenser fan is used on frost-free refrigerators that have a condenser coil at the bottom of the cabinet, inside the compressor compartment. The fan runs whenever the compressor runs, and it draws cool room air through the front grille and circulates it through the condenser coils, over the compressor, and back out the front grille into the room. The circulating air helps cool the condenser coils’ compressor and refrigerant. The air also helps evaporate the water in the drain pan.
If your condenser fan stops, the temperature of the refrigerant will rise, and the compressor may overheat. This will cause the temperature in the refrigerator to rise. You should check to see if there are any obstructions preventing the fan blades from turning. If the blades do not spin freely, it is likely that the motor bearings are worn out.
Condenser fan motors are usually unique to each refrigerator model. When you contact our representatives, you should tell them your appliance’s full model number and brand. This information will help us to avoid delays in finding the specific condenser fan motor you need.
Below we tried to describe the following steps on how to replace a fridge condenser fan motor. Condenser fan motors are normally found near the bottom of the appliance behind a rear access panel. Follow several simple steps:
Below we tried to describe the following steps on how to replace a fridge condenser fan motor. Condenser fan motors are normally found near the bottom of the appliance behind a rear access panel. Follow several simple steps:
Move the refrigerator away from the wall. Sometimes removing the base grill and raising the front levelling legs will be necessary. After that, roll the appliance forward.
Detach a water supply line from the inlet valve before you can remove the access panel. Shut off the water supply. Unthread the screws securing the water supply line retainer to the rear panel, if applicable. Be prepared for some water to spill. Then, unthread the screws and set the panel aside.
Reach in and push the condenser fan blade off the motor shaft. Unthread any mounting screws securing the fan motor to a mounting bracket. Disconnect the wire connector to remove the old motor fully.
When installing a new condenser fan motor, be aware you may need to transfer rubber mounts or grommets from the old motor to the new one. Connect the wire connector, then align the motor on the bracket and thread the mounting screws. Align the fan blade on the motor shaft, then push until the blade is fully seated.
After that, follow all these steps in reverse order. Once the repair is completed, turn the water supply back on. If applicable, plug the power cord back in, and your refrigerator should be ready for use.
Of course, there are many DIY videos over the Internet, but different models can have specific peculiarities when replacing the condenser fan motor. Thus, we’d like to advise: “If you are not sure you can do this – contact the professional refrigerator technicians”. It helps to avoid unwanted consequences if something goes wrong.
The other important thing you must know is how to clean a condenser fan in the refrigerator. The residents of Toronto are fond of pets. And most of them keep dogs, cats and other pets. However, pet hair gets into the refrigerator’s cooling system and clogs it. Most of our customers did not even realize they could remove the back panel and clean the dust and pet hair from the condenser fan. The condenser coils must be cleaned off every six months.
Condenser coils are responsible for removing heat from refrigerators and freezers. The large, radiator-like coils are located at the back or beneath the unit. When dust and dirt cling to the coils, it’s harder for the refrigerator to remove heat. The result is increased energy consumption. Without regular cleaning, this can lead to problems and costly repairs. Cleaning the condenser fan is easy. We use a soft brush, remove dust from the entire unit, and thoroughly vacuum the area.
While doing this, we explain how cleaning the fan a few times a year will extend the life of their compressor and refrigerator and decrease the number of times they need technicians.
