# La Cornue flamberge rotisserie repair

### About the Flamberge rotisserie

A gas rotisserie module with its own burner circuit, its own ignition, its own motor and its own installation guide — and a Suprême version with its own documentation again. It is the part of a La Cornue that sits idle for months and is then expected to work on a holiday, which is most of why we get called to it. The motor is tested under a loaded spit rather than empty, because a motor that turns nothing and stalls under a bird is a failing motor and testing it empty proves the opposite.

What this involves

Motor and gearing tested under a loaded spit, not empty

The rotisserie burner treated as its own gas circuit

Spit, forks and bearings checked for the wear that stops rotation

Run it loaded

A motor that turns an empty spit and stalls under a bird is a failing motor, and testing it empty proves nothing.

Test the rotisserie burner as its own circuit

It has its own gas path and its own ignition, and it is idle for months at a time.

Motor and gearing under load

Current draw with a loaded spit. Stalling under weight with a healthy no-load speed is a failing motor.

Spit, forks and bearings

Worn bearings and a bent spit stop rotation as surely as a dead motor.

Run a full cycle

Lit, loaded and turning, for long enough to prove it. This module fails on the day it matters.

### It worked last Thanksgiving and not this one.

That is the classic history and it is not coincidence — eleven months idle is hard on a gas circuit and a gearbox. Genuinely useful advice: run it for twenty minutes a couple of weeks before you need it, every year. It costs nothing and turns an emergency into a booking.

### Can it be removed if we never use it?

It can, but think first. The module occupies an aperture in a made-to-order top, and removing it leaves a hole that has to be filled with a made-to-order part. Leaving it in place unused costs nothing.
