Help please! Gas Engineer

Post by Kili01 »

Hi,
I have a problem with my gas cooker. It has served us well for a long time, but recently when lighting the main oven only half of the gas burner jets at the back if the oven will light.
The flame of the jets which light is blue as are the jets in the grill and the top plates of the cooker. So I think that the problem with the ones in the oven may be a build up of carbon.

Please could anyone recommend a good gas engineer who services gas central heating boilers or someone who can deal with gas cookers to help fix this?

Will be grateful for any useful suggestions with this. The previous gas engineer that we used has returned to the UK unfortunately.

Dee- possible DIY and SAFE solution for this problem:

You need a small wire brush, the sort you use on suede shoes for example. Give the oven burner holes a good going over with the wire brush. Then get your vacuum cleaner and remove all the debris that the wire brush removed.

Light the oven and see what happens. If still the same, then you definately need a proper gas engineer. But there's every chance that the DIY fix will safely do the trick for you.

Phone Nick 99009798 I don't know if he does Cookers but he certainly does CH Boilers, and a lot of other things.
