In detail: gas stove darina do-it-yourself oven repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Good afternoon to all Tilers! I bought it for my parents, and today I connected this stove. Oven and grill problem. Security system (it would be better if it did not exist). Just like in AOGV - you hold the button until the thermocouple heats up and the core is attracted. This button is tied by 80% of users (with a string, cord, electrical tape, etc.). So it DOES NOT HOLD, even after a minute.
Since I connected myself - there can be no question of a guarantee.
If it's not difficult, tell me what to do?
I saw that the thermocouple was very small there! Maybe there is also electronics?
sasadf, arrange the topic correctly, otherwise it will be in the trash
sasadf hello, since you just bought it, then you call the master under warranty and solve the issue on the spot
VAERR I wrote that I connected the stove myself. (This is to the topic of the guarantee) Well, just no luck. Half a year ago I bought and installed a NEVA gas water heater for my parents. Everything is fine, but the temperature indicator did not work. One could have ordered and bought a new one, but as it turned out, there was an elementary Snot on the indicator board. (I found it myself) Since then, there are NO complaints to the column!
Regarding the stove - it was made in 2005 and purchased 3 days ago. I suspect that the contacts there oxidized. I just didn’t want to tell my Parents that not everything is normal with the stove. They are like CHILDREN. He is 83, she is 82.
sasadf, I don't know how on Darina, but on other stoves it often happens that the valve handle rests on the front panel and there are not enough microns for the gas control to work. Try to remove the handle and just turn it on (turn and push like a handle) with pliers. If it works, then further adjustment is a trifling matter. I will write how. If not, then call the master. By the way, read the terms of the guarantee - there should be nothing about the mandatory connection by the master. There are still options for how to proceed, but first try to do as I wrote
Video (click to play). |
Does not help! And the oven and grill. I feel that there is some small thing! I’ll say right away I haven’t disassembled the stove yet.
And I'm also curious: does the voltage from both thermocouples (oven and grill) come to ONE valve? Or are there two of them? Both do not work. No - most likely the problem is in contacts.
If you did not disassemble the stove, it makes no difference who connected it, the main thing is that it was done correctly, no one can deprive you of the guarantee - this is a word about the guarantee.
Sometimes on these devices (gas control) it is necessary to adjust the low flame, so call the master until you have spoiled nothing.
I agree that it doesn't matter who connected, the main thing is that the connection is correct.
Only not everyone understands the principle of operation correctly. If you unscrew the large nut where the gas control sensor is inserted into the tap. Just before this procedure, do not forget to turn off the gas on the pipe. The cause of your defect can be both the gas control sensor and what you find in the tap
sasadf, you do this: you call the gas station - you say “I connected the gas stove, come, please, check that this is done correctly” The master arrives. With a smart look and with a big key to the advantage. You give him money for a bottle and he makes a note in the passport that the stove is connected correctly. After that you call the SC.
This (money for a bottle) may not work right now, for example, for example, gorgaz charges more than 300 rubles for connecting (despite the fact that they don't know how to set up, for example, a hob.), So it's unlikely to get off with a bottle
This (money for a bottle) may not work right now, for example, for example, gorgaz charges more than 300 rubles for connecting (despite the fact that they don't know how to set up, for example, a hob.), So it's unlikely to get off with a bottle
I didn't write which bottle. Isn't there a bottle for 300 rubles?
sasadf do you want to repair yourself?
Yes I want to! But for some reason it seems to me that the issue is not about the Repair.
I just learned today that a friend has exactly the same problem. (Stove from a completely different manufacturer.) He bought it 2 weeks ago. I also connected it myself.
Maybe they do it on purpose? I remember (for example) that the decimetre block just plugged into the TV did NOT work! There were jumpers bridging the signal or there were no jumpers conducting the signal.
And I have known the thermocouple at AOGV 80 and 19 for a long time. I tied it with a string (by the way, I don’t know how in your regions), but our called Masters also simply tied this button.
But in the end, my father insisted that everything was as it should be. And I had to clean the contacts, adjust the position of the thermocouple. EVERYTHING works as it should!
It's all about AOGV. If anyone knows about the stove, thank you very much!
It is impossible to imagine any kitchen without a hob, be it an electric or a gas stove, since it is on these units that the cooking process takes place. But unfortunately, these devices fail over time for various reasons. Repair gas stoves, fix all kinds of breakdowns and carry out maintenance qualified gas service specialist... But there are minor faults in which you can fix the gas stove on your own. So, you can repair a gas stove with your own hands with the following malfunctions:
- one or all burners do not light up;
- electric ignition does not ignite the gas;
- after the gas is ignited, the burner goes out;
- the oven lid is not covered.
This malfunction can be caused by a number of reasons:
- clogging of the gas supply nozzle;
- failure of the ignition plug;
- damage to the insulation of the wire going to the candle;
- faulty electric ignition control unit;
- malfunction of the power button.
The nozzle (jet) of the unit can become clogged from food, detergent powder or gas combustion products. In this case, self-repair of a gas stove is very simple: you need to remove the burners and clean the nozzle a wooden toothpick (do not use metal objects such as a paper clip or needle for cleaning).
If you cannot clean the nozzle without disassembling the stove, then you should remove the top panel of your device by unscrewing a few bolts. For a good cleaning of the jet, it can be unscrewed.
Before disassembling the gas stove, you should disconnect from it the power supply (voltage for the candle - 220V), which is required for electric ignition. This malfunction of the electric ignition device can affect both one burner and all at once. If the spark does not skip on one burner, this means that the ignition plug (electrode) is out of order. On it, in the ceramic insulator, a crack may form, as a result of which the electrode stops working correctly.
To repair a gas stove with your own hands about replacing a candle, it is enough to remove the burners, open the stove cover (by unscrewing a few bolts), and change electrode on new.
Also, a frequent malfunction of the electric ignition on one burner can be wire damagegoing to the candle. To check this, press the ignition button with the unit cover open.If the wire is “punctured” in any place, then you will see a spark slipping in this place either on the body of the device or on the foil that covers the oven. Repair of electric ignition of a gas stove with a damaged wire consists in replacing it with a new one, or it must be moved to another place so that there is no “breakdown” to ground.
In the case when the electric ignition does not work on all burners, including in the oven, this means that the ignition unit is out of order. To repair the autoignition, you need to replace the unit with a new one after removing the top panel of the device.
The process of repairing the electric ignition of Darin's gas stove is shown in detail in this video:
There are times when a properly working gas stove suddenly starts to present surprises. For example, you turn on the gas supply, it lights up, and after releasing the handle, it immediately goes out. Such symptoms speak of thermocouple faults - a sensor that turns on the supply of a combustible mixture.
A thermocouple works in the following way: when heated, it generates an electric current, which 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 is lost and the valve shuts off the flow. Thus, if, after opening the tap to turn on the gas and ignite it with an electric candle, combustion stops immediately, this means that the solenoid valve has triggered and cut off the supply of the combustible mixture.
It is quite simple to repair a gas stove with such a malfunction.
-
First, you need to remove all the handles and the top panel of the stove by unscrewing the bolts on the sides of the lid and under the burners (stove designs may be different, respectively, and the location of the fasteners may differ).
Thus, it is possible to repair the Hephaestus, Ardo gas stove, Brest and Hansa stoves if the thermocouple fails.
Also, do not forget about safety precautions: before you repair the gas stove, you should disconnect it from the mains.
Sometimes a broken button can be the cause of a spark plug failure. This malfunction during the repair of Gorene gas stoves or other brands can be determined by throwing the wires (after removing the top panel of the device) to another button gas stoves. If the ignition works when the burner tap is opened, then the faulty button must be replaced.
The most common oven breakdown is poorly closing the oven door. It occurs most often when there is a small child in the house who simply sits on the open door, as a result of which the brackets holding this part bend and do not fulfill their function of pressing the sash.
To repair the oven of the Indesit gas stove, Brest 1457 or the Flama stove, you will need disconnect the door from the unit... To do this, you need:
-
Since the door is held on hinges equipped with latches, they must be bent on both sides of the unit.
Summing up, we can say that only the above malfunctions can be eliminated with your own hands. All types of troubleshooting of gas stove malfunctions associated with disconnecting gas supply pipes and hoses must be carried out by a gas service employee, after which he draws up an act of repair performed. The same rule applies to connecting the gas stove to the mains - it must be carried out by a specialist. To carry out self-repair, it will not be superfluous to get acquainted with how the gas stove is arranged.
There is a categorical prohibition, supported by administrative and criminal law, on unauthorized interference with the operation of gas equipment. But not everything that is called gas is directly it. But in reality, repairing a gas stove with your own hands is not only possible, but also necessary. After all, it is not always advisable to pay for the call and work of the master who replaced the faulty pen or adjusted the fuel supply level. And, all the more, there is no need to take an official permit from the gas service for this.
The principle of operation of gas stoves is as follows. Natural gas is supplied to the burner from a centralized gas main or an autonomous cylinder. At the moment of transition from the nozzle of the burner to the diffuser on the burner, the fuel is mixed with oxygen from the air. After that, it becomes possible to ignite the gas-air mixture, the combustion of which will continue until the gas valve is completely closed..
The furnace includes several systems that are responsible for the correct operation of the entire unit:
- gas system, which includes pipes and hoses with taps and burners;
- an electrical component designed for lighting, auto-ignition and grill operation;
- the body of the device, which has a template set of parts and is made of enamelled sheet steel.
Important! The overall design is the same for all ovens. Some models differ only in design and functionality.
The hotplate is the final stage of gas delivery. An already burning jet of a gas-air mixture, moving along the base, fed to the lid, reflected from which it enters the divider... There, the flame divides into uniform little tongues. When the burners are removed for cleaning, the burners with nozzles at the ends are visible. They are also called jets and nozzles. There are three types of burners used.
- Diffusion... In them, gas mixes with air in a natural way. Used in the oven.
- Kinetic... The pressure in the gas line of the furnace is low. Its energy is just enough to suck in the mixing air and supply it to the burner.
- Combined... Modern ovens use two methods at the same time.
Panel can be manufacturedbut from enamelled steel sheet. But today most slabs are made from specially hardened impact-resistant glass. Directly under the hob are electrical devices and a gas system, into the pipeline of which several control valves are embedded. The intensity of the flame depends on the degree of opening of the regulators.
The electrical component of the oven includes timer, thermometer and lighting elements. It also includes electronic controls that control the operation of heating elements and fans, which are present in some samples.
Gas ovens are divided into two types.
- Dual mode, without ventilation. Sometimes a grill is attached to the top of the oven.
- Multi-mode... The air in the oven is moved forcibly by the fan. And so that it does not extinguish the flame, special hollow burners are used.
To preserve heat in ovens, thermal insulation is used, and the door is made of two or three layers of glass.
Gas leakage is controlled by a thermocouple, which is located in the center of the flame and, when heated, generates a current that feeds a small electromagnet... The task of the latter is to keep the valve on the gas pipeline open. In the event of a sudden cessation of combustion, not associated with turning off the fuel supply manually, the sensor quickly cools down and the magnet turns off. This leads to the interruption of the gas supply.
It takes a few seconds for the hob to turn on for the sensor to reach the desired temperature. AND all this time you need to hold the regulator knob pressed. Some users consider this a serious inconvenience and choose ovens without gas control. Such models can be found from several manufacturers - Mora, Gefest, Ardo, Ariston, Darina and Indesit.
Important! It is better to diagnose a malfunction of a gas oven when it is turned off. Failure to do so may result in a serious accident using a damaged device.
If there is a smell of gas in the room, and the stove is not working at that moment, then somewhere there is a leak of blue fuel. It is necessary to disassemble the oven and smear all connections of the gas pipeline with soapy water both outside and inside. Air bubbles will show where the gas is coming out.
To inspect regulators and shut-off valves, you need to remove the top cover. To do this, remove the grates and burners, unscrew the fixing screws with a screwdriver and lift the hob lid.
To check the inside of the oven for leaks, first you should look at which side of the plate the gas supply goes into it. Depending on what you see, you need to shoot the right or left wall. After detecting a leak, it is required to re-twist the nodes by winding more sealant in the form of a FUM tape or a Loctite 55 thread onto the thread.
Advice! For work involving gas leaks, it is recommended to call the emergency gas service.
Gas stoves, like any other complex mechanisms, are also prone to malfunctions, which are as follows:
- gas stops burning;
- ignition does not occur immediately;
- uneven flame;
- work is accompanied by noise and foreign smell;
- problems with the oven;
- difficulty in turning on and others.
To fix such breakdowns, it is not necessary to call a foreman. Spend self-repair is quite within the power of everyone. But before repairing the device, you must turn off the gas supply to it.... The shut-off valve handle is located on the wall behind the stove or directly on the stove in the area of the back wall.
Troubleshooting should start with cleaning the stove. If small food particles enter the burner, the nozzle is often clogged. Debris is blocking the fuel path. In this case, the flame does not ignite at all or burns unevenly. Sometimes, because of the obstacle, the fire burns only at a minimum. Clean the nozzle you can use a thin needle.
Likewise, food pieces or other debris can fall into the divider. Being in the path of the flame a foreign object can give off an unpleasant odor... Remove the hotplate and clean it thoroughly.
The power or height of the flame is adjusted using the knobs on the hob. Sometimes she can turn with difficulty or stay in place at all. To spend handle repair complete disassembly of the faucet will be required. To do this, you first need to remove the controls and the front panel.
At the faucet, carefully pull out the pin, then remove the spring and plug. All parts must be cleaned of grease and debris. Sharp objects must not be usedso as not to damage the integrity of the plug.After cleaning, coat the surfaces of the parts with graphite grease and reassemble them in reverse order.
Advice! In order to regulate the flame when using canned gas, among other things, it is necessary to change the entire set of jets. For this job, you need a specialist from the gas service. Only he will be able to make the correct setting of the equipment so that the fuel burns out without residue.
Almost all modern gas stoves are produced with such a useful function as electric ignition. And only the most budget models may not have it. For example, there are such ovens from manufacturers Elekta, Flama, Gorenje and Hansa.
The auto-ignition system is often prone to breakdowns. If problem with one burner, then you need to check her ignition electrode. There may be a crack on its ceramic surface, causing the spark to blow to the side.
Then the integrity of the wire connecting the piezo and the electric ignition unit is checked. If the entire unit fails, ignition does not work for all burners... Defective elements must be replaced with new ones. The absence of a spark on all burners can also be caused by a malfunction of the power button. If the button is working, then check the power wires. The piezoelectric element in the oven is examined in the same way.
It often happens that the oven door does not close. If the oven door does not fit tightly, there is a significant loss of heat, and the cooking process can be delayed indefinitely.. Reasons maybe two:
- the mount is loose;
- the sealing gasket has become unusable.
The mount must be tightened with a screwdriver. And the gasket needs to be replaced. To do this, remove the door from the hinges and remove the old gasket. Clean the gutter with detergent and install a new seal.
May fail gas control devices: due to the constant temperature difference, the thermocouple often burns out. Gas control repair consists in replacing a part. But sometimes users prefer to turn off the protection function. How this is done is shown in the following video using the example of the Brest 1457 slab:
At violation of the balance of the gas-air mixture a loud noise is heard when the fuel is burning. To fix the problem, in the old stove it is necessary to correct the air damper, and in new models the noise will stop after replacing the diffusers.
If it stopped working all electrical equipment gas stove, then the reason is most likely a power failure. The search for the problem must be started from the outlet to which the device is connected.
Important! When checking electrical equipment with subsequent repair, you must first disconnect the device from the network.
Repair of the timer, temperature sensor and backlight elements carry out the replacement of failed parts with new ones.
In order for the kitchen unit to work for many years without serious breakdowns, regular preventive maintenance is required. After each cooking, wait until the stove cools down, wash thoroughly and remove food debris from the surface... This will protect the equipment from various blockages.
Not recommended leave running equipment unattended... The boiling liquid can overwhelm the flame on the burner, thereby reducing the service life of the gas control mechanism and auto-ignition elements.
Advice! You can use baking soda to remove burnt food from the surface. This will speed up the cleaning process and add disinfection. Cast iron burners and grates are cleaned with a wire brush.
Necessary regularly lubricate the rubbing surfaces at the control valves... How to do this was described above.
It is not difficult to repair a gas stove. But it's even easier to keep it clean and tidy. And then the irreplaceable kitchen appliance will serve for many years, delighting with impeccable work.

In the oven, the gas control works worse and worse (each time you need to keep the handle pressed for longer and longer), while the instructions say that 30 seconds is enough. Oven - Darina is the simplest (inherited from the builders).
The question is: how to fix it and not wrestle over the handle for half an hour, tracking it to a heap, so that the flame does not go out later?
Or - how to rip this gas control to hell, so as not to use it at all (because I didn't find how to crawl to the insides of the stove)?
P.S. I apologize if there was a topic - the search engine returned three pages of results, but did not find any on one.
P.P.S. Tips like "change the stove" are irrelevant - the apartment is rented, there is no money for a stove in a rented apartment and I don't even want to spend money.

Almost every owner of a gas stove at least once in his life has encountered its breakdown. It is often quite costly to seek help from a master, so home craftsmen try to fix the problems on their own so as not to transport the stove once again. There are models of gas stoves that can be repaired by hand, especially if the problems are related to flame adjustment, replacement of electric ignition and other minor breakdowns.In this article, we will tell you how to repair a gas stove oven and hob with your own hands, we will give a number of the most common breakdowns and ways to eliminate them.
Many gas stoves from different manufacturers have the same design. It is enough to consider, using one example, how the repair takes place in order to understand the technique of performing the work. To withstand the pressure of natural gas, you will have to stock up on useful information.
Important! If the setting is correct, the flame glows steady blue. If orange flashes occur, this indicates an imbalance in the fuel mixture.
After reading the information below, you can repair the Hephaestus gas stove or any other brand with your own hands. Having decided to master the correct cleaning of such equipment, you need to figure out what is inside.
Important! The oven is an integral part of the gas hob and requires the same care and attention as the hob. In a separate article, we have collected the best tips - click on the link and read about effective ways to clean the oven.
The following elements are located under the slab top:
- Hotplates. As a rule, they are bolted to the stove, and each burner consists of a divider, a cover, an injector. A copper or steel tube is suitable for each of them. To remove the hotplate, you need a 13 key.
Important! The main thing is not to rip off the head or thread during cleaning. It is better to check the tightness of the assembly with a soapy solution. It is necessary to apply foam to the nodes, test the part.
- Candles. They are located around the perimeter of each burner: one is used for ignition, the other is a thermocouple, that is, an included combustion control circuit. It is quite easy to distinguish them from each other. The high-voltage spark plug is covered with a ceramic caftan.
- Collector. This is a thick tube from which the wiring runs directly to each burner. The gas supply is controlled by a solenoid valve. Their number corresponds to the number of cooking zones. If the flame of one of them is extinguished, then the rest will still burn.
- Distribution reinforcement plate. Single high-voltage wires run to each ignition electrode.
Important! If the hob is not grounded, there is a risk of electric shock.
- Thyristor, capacitor, diode, fuses. These parts are present inside the cooker if the charge is generated by means of an electronic circuit. It is powered by a capacitor charge and starts to work from a surge of energy from a candle.
Important! If one of the parts listed in the last paragraph burns out, then it is easy to replace them yourself.
Let's figure out how to fix a gas stove, if, for example, the burner began to burn weakly. By the way, this is the most common problem with such devices: gradually the flame begins to partially disappear due to clogging of the diffusers or burner nozzles.
Important! If you cook inaccurately on the stove, the small holes will be clogged with the remnants of boiled milk or soup, crumbs. This happens even if an excessive amount of detergent is used. Therefore, try not to bring the burners to the point where the blue fuel stops flowing into the burner.
If the problem still arises, then it is necessary to remove the burner, thoroughly clean the divider or nozzle with a knitting needle or needle.
Important! Some models of gas stoves have plastic valve handles, put on the stem by means of a metal plate that is inserted into the groove. The handles begin to loosen with use, the plate flies out and is simply lost. Don't be upset, you can fix the problem.Take the most ordinary metal lid for canning or from a tin can, carefully cut out a suitable plate with scissors and insert it into a special groove on the handle.
If over time the handles of the valves began to turn tightly or sink, then they should be lubricated and the drains should be cleaned from oil, grease, and dirt. Enough:
- Remove the handles, the front panel of the plate, which is more often fastened with latches or bolts.
- Then carefully disassemble the taps, unscrew the pins holding the stem.
- Then remove the spring, plug, use rags to clean them from dirt.
Important! The plug should be cleaned as carefully as possible so as not to scratch it, as this can cause gas leakage.
- Next, you need to lubricate the plugs with graphite grease, but it is important not to close up the holes here.
- Then you need to take the stem, clean off the dirt and grease from it with a knife, insert the plug back, insert the springs into it, and secure the stem with a hairpin.
Many housewives are faced with such a problem as a jam or a loose fit of the oven door. Repairing a gas stove in this case is very simple:
- It is necessary to unscrew the screws that secure the door to the plate, but not completely.
- Swing it slightly so that it returns to its place and sits firmly on the hinges.
- Then it is necessary to tighten the bolts in place and check the tightness of the door. This is done simply: insert a sheet of paper between the seal and the top edge of the plate, make sure that it is firmly pressed by the seal.
Important! Working with modern technology can lead even the most advanced person to a dead end. We bring to your attention articles with the most common questions from oven users. Their name speaks for itself:
Not less often, the owners of gas stoves face a problem when the gas control system fails: when the burner is ignited, you press the button, and the flame burns, as soon as you release it, it immediately goes out. Don't panic right away.
The first step is to clean the thermocouple, in other words, it is the iron part that is next to the burner. When it heats up, a current is generated that holds the solenoid valve in its working position and does not allow it to interfere with the flow of gas to the burner. If for some reason the gas goes out, the thermocouple cools down and the valve closes immediately, preventing the gas from entering the room. In order for the system to start working in the previous mode, it is necessary to clean this part with sandpaper.
Important! If this procedure was not enough, then you will have to change the thermocouple.
Is there a Burning gas stove in your kitchen? You can easily perform DIY repair of this device if you listen to the advice of professionals. But if suddenly you smell gas, then immediately turn off the fuel supply valve and call the master. Do not forget to regularly clean and wash the stove, take care of it, because it will answer you with high-quality and durable work.
Gas stove device: do-it-yourself oven repair, how to disassemble Hephaestus, how to turn it off for the duration of the repair
Gas stove device: 7 requirements for operation
Everyone knows that combustible gas mixed with air is explosive, which is why, for the sake of safety, a special substance with a pungent odor is added in small quantities. In the event of a gas leak, it is imperative to call the Gas Control Service.
In order to completely protect yourself and your home from a gas explosion during repair work, it is imperative to comply with certain requirements, namely:
- Completely de-energize the apartment, turn off the main machine or unscrew the plugs;
- Take out mobile devices with autonomous power supply and de-energize uninterruptible power supplies;
- Open wide doors and windows throughout the room;
- Use only special tools and accessories;
- Close the shut-off valve;
- Eliminate existing faults;
- After work, apply gas by opening the valve.
If, after carrying out repair work and supplying gas, an incomprehensible hissing or gas smell appears, close the valve again and contact a gas service specialist. You can easily and quickly repair the gas stove and eliminate the existing faults on your own, the most important thing is to follow the instructions carefully and follow the safety rules. If you need to repair the gas stove yourself, then initially you need to decide on how exactly the device is arranged and which components and parts allow it to work normally.
A modern gas stove consists of such systems as:
The base part consists of the burners, burners, shut-off valves and pipes. The electrical part is responsible for good lighting, electric ignition, and sometimes, in some models, also for the grill system if it is installed in the oven. The supporting structure is mainly the body of the product, made of stainless steel.
Each gas stove has a standard set of parts. Depending on the model of the device, it can have a different configuration and certain nuances, however, their equipment is unchanged.
One of the main parts of the gas stove is the burner, located inside the stove under the hob itself, and on top of the burner there are burners with dividers, which can be removed and washed during wet cleaning, however, the most important thing is that no water gets into the dividers. Each burner is characterized by a specific specific power and is determined by such indicators as: minimum flame when the handle is in the extreme left position; medium fire - the flame regulator is in the middle; maximum combustion when the regulator is in the right position. When choosing a product, you need to pay attention to such an indicator as the maximum combustion power. It is determined by the level of gas combustion and is indicated in the technical characteristics of the gas stove itself.
In all gas stoves, without exception, burners of three types are used, namely:
- Kinetic;
- Diffusion;
- Mixed version.
Diffusion burners are characterized by the fact that the gas stream enters the burner, where it mixes with air. When the oven burner is lit, air is drawn from the inside of the hob. The principle of operation of a kinetic burner implies that the gas is mixed with air during movement and then the combustible mixture passes to the burner. In modern models, a mixed version is used, that is, part of the air is taken from the inside of the device, and the rest comes from outside.
Repairing a gas stove requires certain skills and it is very important to know how to properly disassemble the device in order to perform the required work. Before disassembling the product, turn off the gas valve. If you follow all the steps according to the instructions, then you can disassemble the stove and troubleshoot yourself. Then you need to disconnect the stove from the gas network and electricity.
Dismantling the slab consists of several stages, namely:
- Remove the burners, unscrew the bolts, lift the top cover;
- To access the oven slide, it is necessary to remove the side wall;
