Symptom is as above. I have a Siemens two burner top by Schott Ceran. Both are intermittent, and fails most of the time. They will usually keep lit if I try about ten times, and if I turn it off again once it has stared working, it will light normally if I try again. If I let it cool for a minute it will start troubling again. The thermocouple next to the igniter is clean (cleaned it with a knife), so I guess they are OK, although they can get faulty, but saw another post of someone replacing the thermocouple with no effect.

Then I tried the advice above on pulling off the knobs. And now it works... And I put the knobs back on, and it fails again! And it is reproducable every time!?! Very strange, yet delightful insight. Dismantling the thing tomorrow.

I have a Neff 5 burner hob. The middle burner will not stay lit. A small amount of gas runs around the grey gas dispenser while trying to light the hob with the igniter depressed. It then fizzles out...

Some gas appliances have a thermal couple. it could be dirty at its base connection. If possible clean that area with alcohol

always unplug electricity before attempting to repair on any electrical appliance .

The ignitor on my AEG gas hob keeps firing. I have not spilt anything on it.

Take the switch buttons off and use a hairdryer to blow dirt out and dry up any damp. Also make sure buttons go up and down cleanly.

Miele KM 320 G gas cooktop ignitor

I had a similar problem and discovered that the control knob had fried itself, most likely due to liquid penetration down the shaft of the control knob and into the control knob electronics. Inside is a printed circuit board with resistor, diode and a rheostat. The surface of the board was charred beyond repair.
To trouble shoot the problem, open the cook top and hook the burner in question to one of the known good control knobs. If it ignites, then it is the control knob electronics. If it doesn’t, then there is something wrong with the igniter.
Note: The 2-zone Wok Burner had a different control knob that the other burners.
To open the cook top, do NOT loosen any of the Phillips screws on the sides. Here are the instructions from the user manual:
Disassembly
Shut off gas supply, disconnect the manifold pipe, disconnect the electrical power. Remove pan supports, burner heads and burner rings. Remove control knobs.
In the event that the hob is built in, undo the bracket clamps underneath the work surface. Lift the hob on to the work surface. Unscrew the venturis on the high-speed and super high-speed burners using a 20 mm wrench. Lift and remove the burner rings and burner base plates. Disconnect the wires from the ignition plugs. Keep the wire from dropping into the undertray by inserting it in one of the slots in the burner supports.
Remove the three screws securing the dual ring wok burner. Remove the wok burner base plate. Lift the ceramic tray from the hob.
Note: Each regulator shaft is equipped with a black ring. This ring may cling to the rubber seal in the ceramic tray. Check and remove the rings from the rubber seals.

SPV577x Hob

i think there is a problem with the mercury fillament. there is a mercury filled nipple next to the flame, if this cools down and the mercury contracts the gas shuts off. this is to prevent the gas from flowing if the flame isn't lit. i have the same problem myself as well as one of the ignitions doesn't work. i beleive the cooker hood will hinge up giving access to the parts beneath althoguh i'm not sure what to do when i get under there, i'm pretty sure this is how to go about it. hope this helps
