How to diagnose problems on gas stovetop or cooktop hob and how it works.

[@arymonem]

Wow! Amazing video and tutorial! Thank you so much

[@mariafolkes8229]

This man is brilliant 👏 Thank you, Paul

[@How-to-repair]

Thanks a lot! All I'm trying to do is teach in the correct way that everyone understands. Could you also do me a favour and take part in a poll I've made about the lifespan of appliances if you have not already? You just need to tick one of two boxes. It will only take about 10 seconds. This might help us improve how machines are made in the future😇 Here's the poll question: www.youtube.com/@How-to-repair/community Also sharing will get more people to participate and we will have a greater impact with the manufacturers thank you for helping.

Probably the best video i have seen on the workings of a gas hob...well done that man !

[@How-to-repair]

Wow, thanks! I'm always getting humbled by some of the comments that you KZbinrs leave. I just try to make the effort in letting people understand in layman terms how things work this would stop lot of appliances going on the scrap for no reason whatsoever. What would really help me to get my video seen as I'm no IT expert is to either share the channel or at least post it to your friends my videos might not be KZbin superstars, but they save Appliances from the scrapheap. Share and help us fight appliance waste! @cfgman1 please remember to subscribe to our channel as that really helps us kzbin.infoe432SAb2g08 Thanks, Paul 👍

[@twostroketom]

Excellent video, Paul, thanks a million for all your hard work. Puts it all into layman's language and leaves it easier to understand. I actually had a faulty switch on a new freestanding gas cooker and as you described it continuously clicked.

[@How-to-repair]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. This one took a while to make as I had to work out how to cut the valve apart, show the thermocouple working according to the Seebeck affect

[@alfredoromero6879]

Thanks.

[@How-to-repair]

You're welcome

[@mohammedabdulhakabdullaabd1121]

Very good explanation. Thanks

[@drj0913]

When I turn the knob on my left front burner, there is no clicking, no ignition to the burner, the gas is flowing. When I turn any of the other knobs, they trigger the igniter and I get spark in whichever knob it is, AND in the left front. So, the left front won't ignite itself, but it will ignite if I use another knob. My workaround is to turn on the gas (turn the knob) for the left front and then turn another knob. Or use a match/fire stick). Any idea why the current only gets to the left burner when another knob is turned? Do you have any idea what I need to do to fix it? Thanks!

[@breniemarren7565]

Hi Paul, Great video. I have a burner that does not click or ignite when I switch it on although gas is clearly released. I took off the plate and cleaned around everywhere I could but it still doesn't click or ignite although it clicks and ignites when I switch on one of the other burners! Any ideas or advice of what could be the problem. Thanks in advance. Brendan

[@TheSr73]

Excellent as usual. I have a burner that takes a lot of time to keep ignited alone. If I had understood correctly, it struggles to reach the correct temperature to keep the valve open. How could I solve that? Thanks and happy new year

[@How-to-repair]

It is possible that the thermal couple is not in the flame check that first.

[@stefangorman8154]

Can anyone help me? Suddenly no ignition or clicking sound from all burners on my wolf gaz top. Power outlet is ok

[@palamidi13]

We thank you!!

[@tejs6993]

Well made video Paul, great help to gas engineers.

[@powerballminep67]

Great video. My hob is clicking on three burners, but not the commonly used small one. The gas is flowing to it as normal, but there’s no spark or clicking. What is likely to be the problem please?

[@How-to-repair]

Hi, please use our contact us page and make sure you fill out the request for what your problem is. I will need the full model number of the identification plate and the details of your problem so that I can provide you with useful literature. A video shoot of the problem would be perfect as well. I will get back to you within 24 hours, normally. www.how-to-repair.com/help/contact-us/ Please remember to subscribe to our channel, as that's what keeps this channel going. Thanks, Paul 👍

[@leandersmith6184]

Perfect but i still don't know gow to adjust the low flame on my mabe stove. And yes i did the cleaning but no difference.

[@How-to-repair]

If you have a low flame there is no real adjustment you can do apart from changing the jet to a larger size but first you need to make sure that the gas supply going to the cooker is correct sometimes regulators can cause problems if you are on bottle gas

[@avgtril]

Great job, Paul! As usual . Straight to the point plus plain English - simply the best.

[@How-to-repair]

Thank you much appreciated lot of work goes into some of these videos

[@phils7192]

Hi paul, i have a hob thats constantly clicking, whats the fix for this?

[@How-to-repair]

It will be the switches on the individual burners

[@TheWangbolizhong]

👍👍👍

[@davidgranger3628]

An intermittent spark on ours means a new battery is needed! on none of those posh electronics on our cooker

[@How-to-repair]

The old systems were much more reliable. I agree completely. @davidgranger3628 please remember to subscribe to our channel as that really helps us kzbin.infoe432SAb2g08 Thanks, Paul 👍

[@laponcheradezarco4142]

Excellent video.❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

[@How-to-repair]

Many many thanks happy New Year to you

[@DavidBrown-lh1vf]

Certainly an interesting video. Much appreciated Paul. From everything you said, I suspect my Neff spark generator has packed up. It gradually got slower clicking until it stopped all together. It’s a five burner hob and none of the burner controls fire up the spark generator. Knowing the mains electricity supply is good leaves just the generator to test. Thanks for producing such an informative and well presented production. dB.

[@How-to-repair]

Hi David from your description this definitely sounds like the spark generator has failed. Just make sure you test the input voltage going to it and also make this show. The switches are working to activate the spark generator. If these are all okay then it is definitely the generator that has failed.

[@Needdeen99]

What is none of the sparks work?

[@How-to-repair]

Check the power supply going to the spark generator if you have a supply then the spark generator needs to be replaced

[@rickysheldon4355]

Excellent video👍
