Common symptoms

Does this sound like your gas heaters problem?

Olympus is newer builds with inverter split units and gas cooking, and that shapes the gas heaters work we do here.

Our gas heater ignition problems covers spark, piezo and electrode faults. We arrive with test equipment, recovery gear and the fast-moving spares that fit most units in this area.

On Elba equipment we work to the manufacturer's component layout and error codes, which shortens fault finding considerably and keeps replacement parts correct rather than approximate.

Most Olympus jobs are completed on the first visit. Where a part must be ordered, we tell you the wait up front.

Diagnostic process

How we diagnose this in Olympus

  1. 01Visual inspection of the appliance, hose, regulator and connections
  2. 02Leak test on all accessible joints using approved leak-detection fluid
  3. 03Ignition circuit test — spark module, electrode gap and switch continuity
  4. 04Burner and injector inspection for blockage or contamination
  5. 05Flame-failure device and thermocouple response check
  6. 06Function test and a written summary of what was found and replaced

Repair & maintenance

What the repair usually involves

Repairs are limited to work that can be carried out safely and compliantly. Typical outcomes are burner and injector cleaning, ignition component replacement, thermocouple or flame-failure device replacement, hose and regulator replacement, and full leak testing of the installation afterwards. If the appliance is beyond safe repair we will tell you plainly and recommend replacement rather than patching it.

After the repair we re-test performance and explain what caused the fault, so you can avoid a repeat. For gas heaters equipment in Olympus, a short annual service is almost always cheaper than the breakdown it prevents.

Gas safety first

Gas work is carried out only where an appropriately qualified and compliant technician is available for your area and appliance type. We do not publish DIY gas repair instructions, and we will never ask you to open, dismantle or adjust a gas appliance yourself.

If you suspect a gas leak: close the cylinder or supply valve, do not use switches, flames, lighters or any other ignition source, ventilate the area, move people outside and call for qualified emergency assistance.
