Gas hob ignition


posted by urilux on Jan 30, 2008


Please can someone suggest a solution: My gas hob has an electric ignition switch. I ran out of LPG, refilled it, and now the switch doesn't spark/click. It was going perfectly before running out of gas (it was definitely empty as I was cooking at the time). The electrics are fine as I tested with an extension cord.it seems strange that the ignition should break at the same time as gas runs out. It's only 3 years old. Any suggestions very welcome, thanks....
I have the same problem.

1) try leaving it off for a while to see if the ingition box needs to reset
2)when you turn on the burnner does the ignition start by itself or do you have to "ignite" the burnner yourself?
3) if oyu have to ignite the burnner yourself, try using a bbq lighter to see if the gas has gotten to your range yet.
4) if no gas present, there is ussually a reset in the regulator. it needs to be reset if it gets low on pressure. you need to have the lines connected and then turn on the gas AND then the appliance. if the appliance is turned on before the gas in turned on the rest will pop.
lets us know what happens :)
