Cleaned it. Burner ignites OK but will not stay lit when knob is released.
Presuming the flame is touching the thermocouple, try putting slightly more pressure on the knob and hold for a few seconds longer. If this doesn't work try going through the same process with the knob removed - if this works you need to put a small piece of packing in the shaft of the knob ( a small piece paper might do). If this fails you need a new thermocouple.
all burners seemed intermittently not staying i replaced both right thermocouple but still same. all burners seemed to be doing it intermittently
thats AEG cooktop.
Brilliant. Thank you. Just added a few wads of packing and hey presto
we have a hob where one one ring will light and burn for a while and then only sometimes goes out. Pushing down on the control knob brings it back. Is that likely to be a part issue or just cleaning please? Thank you

I have a SMEG SAR134 gas cooktop. I can ignite the wok, but once I release the knob, the flame will go off. I have cleaned the thermocouple thoroughly, but still the wok will not stay lit. I've also tried to press the knob a few times like pumping it, it works sometimes, but most of the time it won't work.
I have an indesit dual fuel range cooker. Bought secondhand-supposedly never used. Initially had difficulty with the burners staying alight. Two did but not the others. Changed out some of the burners as they didn't seem to fit correctly but this didn't solve the problem. Now the two that were working don't. Have changed one of the themocouples but that also hasn't solve the problem. All the buners will ignite but when you release the knobs they go out even if you hold the knobs down longer than the recommended time. The oven (electric) works perfectly. Any suggestions?
I have a 2 burner Princess Gourmet cook top in a '07 RV. From almost day one the bigger burned will always stay lit, but the smaller burner sometime does and mostly does not. It will light when depressed, but will not stay lit. HELP - if someone knows how to fix please tell me.
Top burner will stay lit after knob released. Bottom burner will light but goes out after knob released. Gas supply is good, electrical connections good. Does any one know which component is bad?
