Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
A worn spark igniter, a cracked electrode or burner caps that are wet or out of place.
The flame failure device (thermocouple) has worn out, so the gas cuts off when you let go of the knob.
Blocked jets from spills, a wet or cracked igniter, or a faulty spark generator.
The spark is there but gas isn’t reaching the burner: jets, valve or supply.
When the flame dies after you let go of the knob, the thermocouple usually needs replacing.
Turn off the cylinder and open the windows. We trace and seal the leak and pressure-test the lines.
Many Von gas cookers have a flame safety valve. If the oven or burner goes out when you release the knob, hold it in for 10 to 15 seconds after lighting. If it still goes out, the thermocouple needs replacing.
