One of the gas rings on my Smeg cooker lights with the igniter and stays alight while the knob is pushed in but goes out when the knob is released. All other rings work fine. Any ideas ?

problem with hob is probably water ingress in area of ignition unit - will probably cure itself oven is a completely separate unit from hob. problem with it is that you have to re-set the clock - you have it on automatic. after power outage, oven clock always has to be reset

I called Nexgrill technical support at 1-800-913-8999. They are sending me a new thermo couple to keep the valve open when ignited - so the patio heater will stay on. I needed to give them the serial number (inside the propane tank door) and fax them a copy of the receipt.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Pilot light won't stay alight,

hello!! if you changed the thermocouple & the pilot still goes out !! could be a thermostat ( the electromagnet pilot safety ) goes bad !! make sure pilot is clean & should be sharp BLUE pilot !! not yellow & soft !! also hold down the button light the pilot use a digital volt meter set on dc milivolts a brand new thermocouple should test @ 30 milivolts+ - ! & if you have new style water htr with sealed combustion the thermocouple has a safety part of it ! change the thermocouple & make sure your vents for combustion air around the bottom of the water htr has lint & dust built up !!! kiddbrother i work for a gas company doing service !!

Replace the oven thermocouple.

Thermo coupling needs changing, unless you are Gas Safe, let someone else repair for you, its a common problem, shouldn't cost much, good luck , the Yeti
