Faber luxury built-in kitchen hobs—including the Onyx, Primus, Maxus, and Imperia series—are hallmarks of modern modular kitchens in Chennai neighborhoods like Poes Garden, RA Puram, Adyar, and Anna Nagar. Featuring Italian Sabaf high-efficiency burners, cast iron trivets, and Flame Failure Device (FFD) thermocouples, they provide superior cooking performance and safety. When turmeric froth or deep-frying oil enters the microswitch wells, FFD valves trip prematurely, or Sabaf ports choke, specialized technician support is necessary. Our Chennai technicians deliver prompt doorstep servicing with compatible Italian-standard spares.
Faber hob owners across Chennai report specific auto-ignition clicking, low burner flames, and stiff knob issues due to everyday cooking spills.
Carbon deposits on the Faber thermocouple pin or a weak magnetic safety solenoid cause the Flame Failure Device (FFD) to cut gas supply as soon as the knob is released.
Boiling milk or curry spills run down the knob bezels, creating electrical continuity in the microswitches and keeping the pulse generator firing continuously.
Microscopic flame slots around the Italian Sabaf brass crowns become clogged with oil residue, resulting in irregular yellow flames and cold spots.
High radiant heat from heavy woks dries internal factory lubricants within the brass gas cock, making the knob difficult to rotate or completely locked.
Thermal fatigue or aging manifold gaskets can lead to micro gas leaks beneath the hob chassis, requiring pressure testing and seal replacement.
Worn silicone buffer pads beneath heavy cast iron trivets allow cookware to wobble and risk scratching or chipping the tempered glass surface.

Customer Issue: "Customer reported that the big burner flame goes off immediately as soon as they release the knob, staying lit only while held down."
Inspection: Inspected the Flame Failure Device (FFD) thermocouple and magnetic safety valve.
Fault Found: Hardened carbon soot coated the thermocouple sensor pin, preventing it from generating the necessary millivolt signal.
Work Done: Carefully cleaned the thermocouple probe tip, re-adjusted its flame contact angle, and verified electromagnetic valve holding tension.
Customer Issue: "Continuous rapid clicking from the hob ignition box even when all burners were turned off."
Inspection: Opened the burner deck and inspected the microswitch loom behind the metallic knobs.
Fault Found: Boiled milk had seeped down the central knob bezel, creating an electrical continuity path that permanently triggered the pulse box.
Work Done: Cleaned and dehydrated the microswitches, replaced one oxidized switch, and fitted waterproof silicone o-ring seals.
Customer Issue: "Two knobs locked completely, rotation could not be performed. Wok burner knob was jammed solid."
Inspection: Opened the top glass plate and tested rotation torque on the rotary brass cock valve spindles.
Fault Found: Thermal drying of factory grease over 4 years of heavy cooking had seized the internal valve conical cores.
Work Done: Disassembled valve assemblies on-site, cleaned spindle shafts with contact solvent, applied high-temperature silicone gas grease, and reassembled with new spring clips.
Common questions regarding Faber hob inspection, burner issues, auto-ignition, and doorstep repairs.
This is the most common issue on Faber hobs equipped with Flame Failure Devices (FFD). It happens when carbon coats the thermocouple probe tip or when the magnetic safety solenoid fails to generate enough holding force.
Yes. Our technicians are experienced with genuine Italian Sabaf burner assemblies and carry compatible burner crowns, thermocouples, and nozzles.
Continuous clicking happens when liquid overflow enters the microswitch behind the knobs, keeping the electronic spark circuit permanently closed.
We dismantle the brass valve, dissolve old hardened grease, polish the spindle, and reassemble with high-temperature silicone gas grease.
Thermocouple sensor replacement typically costs between ₹550 and ₹1,100 depending on the model and length of the probe lead.
Yellow flame indicates restricted airflow or clogged flame ports caused by accumulated grease and food carbon, preventing complete gas combustion.
Yes, we provide same-day doorstep service across RA Puram, Anna Nagar, Adyar, Poes Garden, Velachery, and all Chennai localities.
Standard hob repairs take about 45 to 60 minutes, including complete safety testing and flame calibration.
Cracked toughened glass cannot be repaired and must be replaced as a complete top assembly for safety. We inspect the frame and advise on part availability.
Our doorstep inspection charge is ₹249 to ₹349, which is credited toward the repair cost if you approve the work.
