Hi

We have a Bauknecht gas hob & electric cooker.
Please please can you help us our hob ignition keeps going off
sometimes we can play around with the button and it stops or put something heavy onto it and it stops, but it goes off all the time and it is driving us mad, We can stop it, and then for no reason it goes off, it can be any time of the day or night.
Any suggestions will be really helpful

Thanks

Hi Jo,
I suspect you mean its switching itself on...not off (maybe its colloquial)
It will be one of two things
1. The microswitch itself (replace)
2. Flame rectification not being sensed
I'm not very familiar with this model but they all use a similar but may be (variable) principle.
You'll need a corgi engineer to sort it out as you're not allowed to work on gas.
