Servicing a WESTFALIA hob/cooker

  1. can anyone help with this? The one gas jet doesn’t want to stay alight. The thermo coupling thing it there and in the flame. I’d ideally like it sorting once. Any advice?
     
  2. Muck in the jet

    Find a Gas Safe certified engineer who is qualified to work on lpg. Not all of them are.
    Get the engineer to fully test the system incl all the hoses and regulator.
    Local campsite/caravan park may be able to point you in the right direction.
    The burner tops twist and pull off, and the air tubes are wonderful dust and spider homes. It probably all just needs a good clean.
    Modern hoses are date stamped as the gas rots them from the inside over time so best get it all checked if you haven't already:thumbsup:

  4. Have a look at "The gas Safe register " and search for a lpg engineer in your area .

  5. It’s stays lit if I hold the knob in! Oh errr Missus!
     
  6. It’s not likely to be anything broken then.. I’ll have another look and jet some air about!
     
  7. That sounds like Flame failure device
    You might have to have a habitation service
    Some Lpg engineers will only do this
     
  8. Ours was like that, not very scientific but I cured ours by - ahem- repeatedly pushing the knob in and out before lighting:oops:
     
  9. The thermocouple may have moved out of the flame area for it to stay lit.

    However my advice is to find a gas Safe engineer who is qualified in lpg.
