Bernzomatic ts 4000 flame adjustment
There is no adjustment on the ts4000. The ts8000 has the ability to adjust by turning the knob while depressed, however the ts4000 does not. If you use a hose with an in-line regulator between the cylinder and the torch that would give you the ability to adjust your flame. Make sure the hose and regulator used are suitable and rated accordingly.

No flame on exx low
This is generally due to blocked burner heads due to spills, remove it and clean it thoroughly before going any further.

Frozen locknut on burner Thermador SGSX365ZS
First I would try heating it up until it is red and then twist it off. If that is not an option for you then I would get a rotary tool (hobby size) with a cutoff wheel and carefully cut into it from the side about halfway through. That will get it.

I am not sure of
Hello Sharon,
are the two left hand burners "simmer burners" that low come on and go off to simmer a pot?
and the right side just set on and turn off without the simmer option?
if yes this pretty much describes your cooktop the part called the potentiometer is going the be the problem.

Flames are very strong and
Hi,
To start the conversation, i would like to inform you that it could be a risky situation.That's caused by delayed ignition... the
electronic control cards have timers in them so that ignition cannot
occur after the gas valve opens for more than a few seconds...then it
shuts the gas valve off.It is that function that has failed...odds are in the 90% range that replacing the control card will solve the problem.Another cause of delayed ignition is the ignitor too far from the burner, or low gas pressure at the pilot light.You need to properly diagnose and test the above mentioned components.
Let me know,if needed further assistance.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

My Thermador gas burner has
Is the one that does not light the progressive slow cooking knob one? Does it output gas at all, can you tell? If it doesn't light even with a match I would think it is not putting out any "fuel" so to speak..
Let me know, just reply here and I will get right back to you.
Thanks,
Tim

Thermador sgcs365rw - I need
Hello- You got lucky and only have one stuck, unfortunately you will need to order a few more parts. The only way to get the venturi out is to drill it off, drill it down enough that you can get the burner around what use to be the nut portion of the venturi. You will also need to get the orifice holder that the ventrui screws into under the cooktop. These parts are pretty cheap. You could try to put some LIquid Wrench around the ventrui overnight but be sure not to try to force it out too much because the gas supply tube to that burner can get creased if the orifice holder starts to turn...
What works best for me to drill the venturi is a countersink, preferably for metal, which has it's largest diameter bigger than the outside of the venturi. Get some cutting oil and start drilling, the ventrui's cut pretty easily but take your time and try not to damage the burner. Once you get down real close to the burner you can try to carefully pry the burner over the remnants of the venturi. Good luck, hope this helps. Best regards.

We have a Thermador SGC365R which was installed in
Hello- The extra low simmer burners are indeed troublesome. Sometimes you do have to drill-off the burners, sometimes all of them. This is can be very time consuming depending on if you have the right tools. The issue is you have to get the top off the unit in order to access the spark module and switches that come with the Potentiometer kit (the parts they will need to replace). As well, they will have to replace the Venturi Tubes that were drilled off and the orifice holders as well because the venturi screws into this. I would get a parts cost and labor estimate and consider also the cost of installing a new cooktop. I have done many of these, it's the same on their ranges, and it can take a couple of hours. I will say that I have never needed another persons help to do the repair. Hope this helps, best regards.

I have a five year
Ventilation units usually come with sensors at times which trigger the blower and also trigger the light to come on intermittently.
Although if you are absolutely sure that there is nothing for the blower to extract then disconnecting it is safe but if otherwise do connect the blower back.
Blinking light usually indicate a warning this could either be a malfunction in the unit or an improper wiring diorder which might have just come up on the unit.
To determine if you have to replace a relay or the whole switch board can only be determined after careful examination of the unit. Try to get an axpert to take a look at the unit.
Also endeavour to be careful as severe accidents could occur as a result of poor maintenance of these appliances.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

Hi,
Yes, the air gap is to make sure that too much heat does not transfer down to the wood below... and start a fire... believe it or not air is a great insulator...
