A common problem with gas stoves and cooktops is that the gas burner does not turn on or does not turn on at all. This malfunction can be caused by the following reasons:

1. The nozzle is clogged with food particles
2. Cracked or broken insulation on the spark plug
3. The solenoid valve is broken or the thermocouple is burnt out.

The gas stove burner goes out for several reasons:

1. A burned thermocouple tip or soldered wire;
2. Poor contact between the thermocouple and the valve;
3. Defects in the on/off valve swivel mechanism;
4. Deformation of the handle and burner.

• If the mains voltage is OK and the stove is connected to the mains, but the gas hob does not ignite all the burners at the same time, there are three possible reasons:

1. faulty internal wiring;
2. a faulty ignition button (in models with manual system);
3. a fault in the central ignition unit.

What should you do if the burner on your gas stove doesn’t work? The answer is straightforward – call a gas appliance technician and have your gas stove repaired. It must be done immediately.

The most common reason for a gas burner not working and not switching on is grease or food residue on the nozzles. This build-up blocks the gas supply to the igniter. Clean the nozzles.
