As the UK currently enjoys the first taste of summer perhaps the last thing on the mind of a wood-burning stove/multifuel stove owner is their machine. However, now is the best time to look at maintaining and repairing your Franco Belge stove so that it is ready when the nights eventually draw in and autumn then winter descend upon us. It may seem a long way off, but it will soon catch up with us!
Maintaining your Franco Belge stove
Even though Franco Belge stoves have been around for some time now, they are still extremely popular. They are long-lasting, well manufactured and as any Franco Belge stove owner will tell you, they need very little in the way of maintenance and repair. However, spotting the early signs of wear and tear, perhaps a part needs replaced may not only save you money further down the line but will immediately improve the efficiency.
Repairing your Franco Belge stove
Thankfully, the vast majority of Franco Belge stove parts are very easy to remove and replace. The stove booklet should be able to assist with replacing the easier items and if you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We strongly advise replacing that cracked glass, worn fire brick and damaged baffle plate as soon as possible. That way, when autumn and winter finally descend upon us your stove will be ready for action!

We have expanded diagrams for every machine which highlight each individual part, what it looks like and where it goes. Over the years we have seen many customers approach us about replacing a specific part only to learn that is not the part in question which needs replaced. There is nothing worse than ordering the wrong part only to find out when it arrives and you try to repair your machine. So, we prefer to speak to our customers before they make a purchase just to ensure they are buying the right part and the right variation for their machine.
As you will see from the above list, there are various versions of Franco Belge stoves which can make it confusing. As an official supplier of Franco Belge stove spare parts we have a deep-seated knowledge of these machines and access to customer support in the event of an issue.
Conclusion
It is very easy to leave the maintenance and repair of your Franco Belge stove until the winter time when the nights begin to draw in and the temperature starts to drop. However, we strongly recommend using the warm summer period to carry out maintenance and repair on your Franco Belge stove where required. Many people fail to realise but the longer you leave a part to be replaced the more damage this can cause, not only to that part but other areas of the stove as well. That is before we even get onto the subject of efficiency which is significantly reduced with worn or broken parts.
