Independent repair of the gas stove

It is impossible to imagine any kitchen without a hob, be it an electric or gas stove, since it is on these units that the cooking process takes place. But unfortunately, these devices eventually fail for various reasons. It is necessary to repair gas stoves, fix all kinds of damage and maintain qualified gas service specialist. But there are minor problems in which you can repair the gas stove on your own. So, repair your own gas stove with the following faults:

• one or all burners do not ignite;
• electric ignition does not ignite gas;
• after the ignition of the gas, the burner goes out;
• the oven lid does not cover.

No burners burn

This fault can cause a number of reasons:

• clogging of the gas supply nozzle;
• failure of the spark plug;
• damage to the insulation of the wire going to the candle;
• faulty electrical ignition unit;
• power button malfunction.

Nozzle clogging

The nozzle (jet) of the unit may become clogged by foodstuffs, detergent powders, or gas combustion products. Independent repair of the gas stove in this case is very simple: it is necessary to remove the burners and clean the nozzle a wooden toothpick (do not use metal objects for cleaning, such as a paper clip or needle).

If you cannot clean the nozzle without disassembling the stove, you should remove the top panel of your unit by unscrewing a few bolts. For a good cleaning jet, you can unscrew it.

Electrical ignition does not ignite gas

Before dismantling the gas stove, it is necessary to disconnect from it the power supply (the voltage for the candle is 220V), which is required for electric ignition. This malfunction of the apparatus with electric ignition can affect both one burner and all at once. If the spark does not slip on one burner, this means that the spark plug (electrode) has failed.On it, in a ceramic insulator, a crack may form, as a result of which the electrode stops working correctly.

To repair the gas stove with your own hands about replacing the spark plug, it is enough to remove the burners, open the stove lid (by unscrewing a few bolts), and change electrode on new.

Also, a frequent malfunction of electric ignition on one burner can be wire damagewalking to the candle. To check this, it is necessary to press the ignition button with the unit cover open. If the wire in any place is “punched”, then you will see a spark slipping in this place either on the body of the appliance or on the foil that covers the oven. Repair of electric firing of a gas stove with a damaged wire is to replace it with a new one, or it must be moved to another place so that there is no “breakdown” on the ground.

In the case when electric ignition does not work on all burners, including in the oven - this means that the ignition unit has failed. To repair the auto ignition, you need to replace the unit with a new one after removing the top panel of the device.

The repair process of electrical ignition of the gas stove Darin is shown in detail in this video:

The fire goes out after ignition

There are times when a properly working gas stove suddenly begins to give surprises. For example, you turn on the gas supply, it lights up, and after the handle is released, it goes out immediately. Such symptoms speak of thermocouple faults - a sensor that includes the flow of combustible mixture.

Thermocouple works as follows: when heated, it produces an electric current that magnetizes the solenoid valve. The valve in turn opens, and the gas flows freely into the burner. If the thermocouple stops heating, the electrical impulse disappears and the valve closes the flow. Thus, if after opening the valve to turn on the gas and ignite it with an electric candle, the combustion stops immediately - this means that the solenoid valve has been activated and shut off the flow of the combustible mixture.

To repair a gas stove with such a malfunction is quite simple.

1. First you need to remove all the knobs and the top panel of the stove, unscrewing the bolts located on the sides of the lid and under the burners (the design of the stoves may be different, respectively, and the location of the fasteners may differ).
   
2. After unscrewing the fasteners, remove the top cover of the unit.
   
3. After disassembling the unit near the inactive torch, you will see two sticking parts. White is a spark plug, and next to it is a thermocouple.
   

4. From the thermocouple wire goes to the connector from which it should be pulled out. And the sensor itself gas control disconnect from burner.
5. After removing the non-working item, install a new, purchased in advance.

Thus it is possible to repair the gas stove Hephaestus, Ardo, Brest and Hans plates when the thermocouple fails.

Also, do not forget about safety: before you repair the gas stove, you must disconnect it from the mains.

Button Fault

Sometimes the cause of a failure of a lit candle can be a failed button. This fault in the repair of gas stoves Goren or other brands can be determined by throwing wires (after removing the top panel of the device) to another button gazplits. If the ignition when the faucet is opened is working, it is necessary to replace the faulty button.

The oven door is not covered

The most frequent breakdown of the oven is a bad covering of the oven door. It occurs most often when there is a small child in the house who just sits on the open door,as a result, the brackets holding this part are bent and do not perform their function of clamping the sash.

To repair the oven gas stove Indesit, Brest 1457 or Flama stove, you will need disconnect the door from the unit. To do this, you need:

1. Since the door is hinged with hinges, they need to be bent on both sides of the unit.
   

2. After that, you must carefully close the door until it stops in the latches.
   
3. Next, you need to pull the door a little up and up, after which it is easy to disconnect from the stove.
   
4. To get to the brackets, repairing a gas stove Gorenje or repairing a gas stove Darin, as well as the Brest unit, you must remove the side walls of the oven. Removing the sides, you will see bracketsthat are responsible for clamping.
   
5. The brackets must be removed from the oven gas stove and visually determine in which places they are deformed. With the help of a hammer and pliers, you can try to straighten the deformed places. But in the case when this item is broken, it must be replaced with a new one. The shops sell different types of parts for the repair of the oven and stove. Choose brackets that match your gas stove model.
   

Summarizing, we can say that only the above failures can be eliminated personally. All kinds of troubleshooting gas stoves associated with the disconnection of the gas supply tubes and hoses should be carried out by the gas service worker, after which he draws up an act of the repair performed. The same rule applies to connecting gas stove to the highway - it should be carried out by an expert. For self-repair is not superfluous to get acquainted with how the gas stove works.
