Had fixed before with WD40, but no go this time. Am relearning skill of lighting with match - haven't done that since we lived in Cairo! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2309#post-24405 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 01:29:43 +0000 kaputnik 24405@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If the gas is off it won't hurt to let it spark until it can be fixed. Alternatively unplug the cooker and light it with a match / lighter... The piz on my parents cooker hasn't worked since before I left home and they haven't starved yet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2309#post-24403 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 00:09:29 +0000 wingpig 24403@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah. Ours carried on even when the oven was electrically isolated. I suspected grunge in the ignition button due to the former owner never cleaning it properly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2309#post-24387 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 19:57:59 +0000 SRD 24387@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This is def. electrics - it stops when circuit is off, but it is on the same circuit as fridge so can't leave it off... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2309#post-24386 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 19:53:01 +0000 wingpig 24386@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No advice on the matter but ours did intermittently that a couple of weeks back. After checking that it wasn't because gas was sneaking out of the oven bit we just ignored it and it stopped later that evening. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2309#post-24385 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 19:46:03 +0000 SRD 24385@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Any advice out there for a random household problem? One element on our gas cooker just started sparking - like the starter button is being pushed over and over..can't get it to stop, nor can I get the button off (not sure that would help anyway). </p>
