Lampe Berger: non funziona e non si accende più. Cosa fare? - Segni Particolari

Lampe Berger: it doesn't work and doesn't light up anymore. What to do?

Lampe Berger no longer works. The burner wick cools down quickly and the catalytic lamp does not activate. What to do in this case?
Here are some valuable tips.


A Wick problem
 The Berger lamp no longer lights up, very often it is a burn burner problem.
The wick is in fact the only part of our catalytic lamp that can deteriorate over time. The company ensures its operation for about 200 ignitions.

Since I have my shop I have known many stories of wicks on which I could easily write a book: some ladies have assured me that their wick lasted even 10 years! Others, on the other hand, rush to cover by buying a spare after less than a year.
Certainly the difference is given by how and how much we use our lamp: if we continually forget the flame lit more than 2/3 minutes then we will buy many wicks in the course of our life.


A small recommendation
A clarification is a must: the catalytic lamps by Maison Berger only work with original liquids and refills. If you have inserted a non-original liquid in the lamp, it is likely that the wick (also new) is to be replaced. The only possible attempt at this point is to let the wick dry completely, making it dry. Now try the ignition again doing the luck dance.
However, I do not want to give you false hopes as many of the liquids used for other similar lamps have an oily base and this characteristic clogs the Berger catalytic system.


Before buying a new wick, try them all
It may happen that your wick did not have to undergo so many ignitions and that you are a perfect user of catalytic lamps, so the question is: what happened to this Lampe Berger?
Has your catalytic lamp been forgotten in a corner of the house for some time? You haven't needed it lately and it has been turned off? Sometimes a "vacuum" situation can arise: take out the wick by letting oxygen pass for a few minutes, then insert it again and try the ignition again.
How much does a new Wick cost?
The price of the wick is not excessive, considering the fact that it is the heart of our catalytic lamp.


Since 2019 there is only one and only wick size for each lamp, of any type and size. In addition, this new wick has a big news, if before you had to be careful to fill our Lampe Berger leave a quarter of space for oxygen, now it is no longer necessary, if you buy a new generation wick you can use the full capacity of your lamp.
There hasn't been a big change in price compared to the previous model, the difference is only 0.50 cents, the new wick burner will cost you € 15.


If you still have any doubts and request assistance, do not hesitate to contact us, we will help you understand if your wick is now at the end of its life cycle or if there is still hope for him.


If, after reading this article, you understand that it is now necessary to buy a new wick for your Maison Berger lamp, I remind you that you can find it on sale in our shop:

After l Light my lamp, and I wait about 2 minutes. Blow out the fire. It starts smoking white smoke. Smells really bad. So I cap it. This is the first time this has happened. I replaced the wick. And I tried a second one. What am I doing wrong? I’ve owned several of these lamps over the years. Never had any issues. Please help.

Hi. I have a wick that has turned black and will not light. It hasn’t been used much before this happened. Please advise.

I’ve had several of these lampes for years and years and they used to burn well, continuously until all the oil was used. Then suddenly they didn’t work-either wouldn’t stay lit or wouldn’t light at all. I admit I might have used an improper oil. I replaced the wicks and oil with new Lampe Berger items from eBay. This time the ceramic part of the wicks, at the top, burned producing nodules of black ash around the edges of the ceramic part, but wouldn’t stay lit but for only a few minutes. Thinking I got fooled by fake Lampe Berger items I went directly to the Lampe Berger site and purchased oil and new wicks. I washed my lampes carefully and dried completely, filled 2/3 full, gave it time for the wick to soak, and lit the lampe, leaving it flaming for 2 minutes before blowing it out. It continued to burn for about a half hour and quit. The ceramic top was cold again. What’s up with the new wicks? They don’t look or act like the old ones. Am I doing something wrong? I sure hope someone at the company answers these questions.

I bought a new wick, same fluid as always, but on ignition has deep black smoke before and after I extinguish the flame and continues for as long as lamp is active. How can I fix this…I love and use my lamp continually and miss it!

la mia lampada non emana alcun profumo dopo la fiammata nonostante lo stoppino sia nuovo e bagnato

Non funziona più l’accensione della lampada, l’avremo usata forse 3 volte a casa, mi sembra assurdo spendere 15 euro per lo stoppino di una lampada nuova! Rimango in attesa di ricevere un gentile riscontro.
