DIY gas stove oven repair

In detail: DIY repair of a gas stove oven from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

If you have a slight breakdown of your gas stove, for example, the burners have stopped burning, you are in no hurry to contact a workshop or gas emergency service. Most likely, there was such a breakdown as clogging of the contacts. Fixing a breakdown will take only 5 minutes of your time, while it will save you money and time that will need to be spent on calling the wizard. Therefore, you must understand that the stove can be repaired on your own.

You cannot imagine any kitchen without a stove, because the process of preparing a variety of food takes place on it. Mostly everyone knows why gas stoves are more in demand than electric ones. The very first advantage of a gas-powered stove is that food is cooked much faster.

Second - this stove can immediately proceed to its immediate purpose, that is, to cooking or frying. But for an electric stove, it takes some time for the full glowing process to take place. And the third advantage is the rapid cooling of the burners, that is, after turning off the stove, the dish that remains on it will not burn. Do not leave a dish on the electric stove, the hotplate will be hot for a long time.

Gas stoves are much more different from their Soviet-era counterparts. This concerns the technical characteristics and their modern design. Today, the choice of plates is as diverse as their functionality. Therefore, it is important to know which stoves are available for free sale, what structural elements they consist of, and how to repair a gas stove with your own hands.

As always, we start with the most important structural element, which in this case are the burners. The main role here, of course, is played by the nozzles that supply the gas-air mixture to the surface of the burner. The diameter of the nozzle is distinguished depending on the gas used and the level of its pressure. The diameter of the nozzle orifice should be correspondingly smaller at higher gas pressures.

Nowadays, gas stoves have become more versatile, as they are equipped with a set of nozzles. That is, it turns out that, if necessary, you can remove the nozzles installed by the manufacturer and put the necessary ones, this is not difficult to do. You also need to know that if the tile still has a warranty, you can contact the service center for help.

They will change the nozzles for the required ones and at the same time regulate the gas-air process by setting the minimum flame. Provided that the warranty has already ended, you can do the repair of the Darin gas stove yourself, the procedure is not particularly difficult if you read the instructions beforehand.

To the standard number of burners, manufacturers decided to add another high-power burner, which is intended for faster cooking. This additional nozzle has a larger diameter, which creates a more powerful flow of fire.
Also today, manufacturers have begun to make combined burners. This means that there are gas and electric burners on the hob. This option is very suitable for areas where there are frequent interruptions in the supply of electricity and gas.

Gas appliances are usually fitted with hobs made of enamel or stainless steel. If you use plates with enamel coating, then you can choose a product of any color. These hobs are much cheaper.
The stainless steel hob is more practical because it has excellent chemical resistance, does not corrode and is easy to clean.

The modern way of arranging the hob is the use of special tempered glass. This solution for the worktop for gas stoves is borrowed from electric ovens, which have glass-ceramic hobs. If the glass is tempered, then it has increased strength and impact resistance. Such a surface is usually wiped off as it gets dirty with a damp cloth. The color of the tempered glass can be varied.

Gas cookers can be equipped with the following types of ovens: electric, gas or combination grill. Experts believe that uniform heating is carried out only in electric ovens that are equipped with an electric grill. Before you buy some kind of electric oven, you need to check with a specialist whether your apartment will withstand such loads, and find out how to repair the Kaiser gas stoves. Everyone knows that electric ovens are capable of consuming a large amount of energy, and this definitely affects the load on the electrical network.

Gas ovens are classified as follows: designs made without a fan, which has two heating modes, multifunctional designs with forced air circulation.

Usually the first version of ovens is equipped with a lower gas burner and, in addition, sometimes an upper electric or gas grill. In order to achieve the greatest effect of charcoal grilled meat, it is better to use a gas grill. On the other hand, electric grills warm up the dish more evenly. Gas multifunctional stoves have hollow burners so that the fan does not blow out the flame.

Electric ovens are divided into two types: conventional classic and multifunctional. The first model has electric heating elements that are located at the top and bottom. The second model has 4 heating elements: bottom, top, side and rear. These ovens also have a fan to distribute the heated air evenly inside the oven.

The stove, like all other devices, breaks down over time, therefore, a qualified repair of Hefest gas stoves is necessary. But in some cases, you can do the repair yourself, then we will tell you about the most common breakdowns, which, with very great skills, can be eliminated by yourself.

Cleaning the gas stove does not pose any difficulty, and even more so, it does not pose a danger. But you need to take the guidelines and regulations seriously. The very first thing that is recommended to be done before starting maintenance work or repairing an Indesite gas stove is to disconnect the equipment from electricity. If you are working with gas equipment, it is necessary to close the gas valve, because you could accidentally turn on the gas supply.

There are several common problems with gas stoves. One of the most common failures is in the ignition system. To begin with, it is worth shutting off the gas supply in order to deal with this problem. You should also open the doors to ventilate this room. Then bring the match to the burner. If suddenly the stove does not light up for three minutes, you need to turn the screw, which delivers gas in a large direction, until a blue flame appears.

To clean the burner channels, it is better to call a master for this, and you can also do it yourself in the following sequence:

Unplug the stove from the power supply and close the gas supply valve and the burner.
Remove the fasteners and the bottom of the plate.
Remove the partition under the slab below
Observe the burners on. If the flame goes intermittently along the length of the burner, then you need to turn off the oven and clean all the channels with a sewing needle.

You need to know what a properly configured stove looks like in order to properly repair Ariston gas stoves. The flame, of course, should be bright blue. There should be no intermittent tongues of flame, which indicates a large amount of air. If the color is yellow-orange when burning, it means there is not enough air.

There are several ways to adjust the hob, for example:

Turn off the gas supply and disconnect from the mains. Remove the plate partition from below.
Next, it is worth turning on the stove and checking the flame in working order.
Determine the correct air damper that needs adjustment. She is almost always near the burner.
After that, it is worth sharpening the opening, for this, slightly unscrew the set screw without a head, which blocks the plate or flap. This will decrease or increase the mixing ratio of gas and air.
After all that has been done, turn on the device again and check the flame accordingly.

Then you need to make certain settings to ensure the normal operation of the hob. Next, repair the brest gas stove and adjust the minimum flame level of each burner and set the desired position of the thermocouple contacts, which are part of the gas control system valve. This is the so-called electromechanical valve, which regulates the gas supply to the burner and remains in the open position due to the current generated by the heating of the thermocouple.

If the contacts on the valve and thermocouple are oxidized, it can close and the gas will go out. Gas can be cut off if the minimum flame of the burner is not adjusted. The main concern is security. All modern stoves usually have a fuel leakage protection system. Manufacturers call such a device gas control. It was invented so that, for example, if milk escaped, extinguish the flame by stopping the gas supply.

The scheme of operation of the "gas-control" system is quite simple: when the flame goes out, the sensor cools down and sends a signal to the valve, which in turn closes the gas supply channels. Some modern systems can re-ignite the flame, "thinking" that it was blown out, for example, by a draft. If the attempt fails twice, then the system gives up this business.

It often happens that ignition elements fail. At the beginning of the repair of ardo gas stoves, it is recommended to turn off the stove, remove and inspect the partition. Also, if you see defects in the form of fragments and cracks, then the partition should definitely be replaced. Make sure the ignition control is off before replacing. Test the repaired stove.

How to properly check and replace the piezo ignition tile:

It is necessary to turn off the monitoring devices.
Next, open the door and remove the lower partition of the plate.
It is also necessary to unscrew the igniter from the attachment to the bracket and check it for cracks or other defects. Replace if damaged.
To replace a faulty igniter, you need to find the ignition control module and turn it off. Then reinstall all parts and test.

If there is such a problem as a jam or a loose closing of the oven door, and the hansa gas stoves need to be repaired, it is still a little worth unscrewing the door screws and shaking it in different directions so that it fits snugly on the hinges. Tighten the bolts further, then the door should close tightly.

You can correctly replace the door base gasket using this instruction:

Unscrew the door hinges above the handles and remove the cover
Remove screws and inner panel edges as necessary. It may be necessary to bend the hinges and carefully remove the cover.
Then remove the screws that hold the glass of the panel assembly.
Then remove the glass block by detaching the attached spacers.
Remove the gasket between the inside of the door and the glass of the unit.
Install new gaskets in reverse order or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Replace the gasket as follows. It is necessary to disconnect the stove from the gas and move it away from the wall. Next, you need to unscrew and remove the gasket. Then you should loosen the bolts on the back panel of the plate and slightly move them away from the body by light shaking. After such repairs and similar actions, the gaskets are disconnected from the installation body, and they must be replaced with new ones.

Approximately twenty to thirty years ago, there was no question of how to connect the stove, since Soviet standards allowed only rigid piping using systems of pipes, corners and elbows. All this was assembled by the masters of the gas service, who also carried out the repair of the Ariston gas stoves, and the stove was chained forever. It was impossible to move her aside.

At the beginning of the 90s, a stream of imported equipment poured in and brought such a convenient tool as a flexible gas hose. In our time, flexible eyeliner has gained existence because they have fixed all this with regulatory documents. Because of this, modern kitchen design has become individualized.

Today, stoves have many additional functions, so they are connected not only to gas, but also to electricity. With practically the same functions, the price of a gas stove is less than that of an electric one. In addition, gas stoves have a very long service life, which reaches 50 years.

Using special flexible hoses that allow you to change the position of the stove in the kitchen within certain limits, the stove is connected to a gas source. Hoses over 4 meters are not certified, therefore, hoses up to 4 meters are used, which, by the way, cannot be interconnected.

And finally, remember that the transfer to another room of the gas stove and any redevelopment must be coordinated with the relevant authorities. Provided there is good ventilation and a room of the required volume, the installation of a stove is allowed. It is imperative that when self-repairing a gas stove and installing a stove, the tightness of all nodes must be present. With an unprofessional installation, that is, without skills, unpleasant consequences for property and for life can occur.

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 slip 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 it heats up, 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 valve to turn on the gas and ignite it with an electric candle, combustion stops immediately, this means that the electromagnetic valve has worked 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).

After unscrewing the fasteners, remove the top cover of the unit.

After disassembling the unit, you will see two protruding parts near the inoperative burner. White is the ignition plug, and next to it is the thermocouple.

A wire goes from the thermocouple to the connector, from which it should be pulled out. Disconnect the gas control sensor from the burner.

After removing the non-working element, install the new one purchased in advance.

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:

After that, you must carefully close the door until it stops in the latches.

Next, you need to pull the door slightly towards you and up, after which it will easily detach from the stove.

To get to the brackets when repairing the Gorenje gas stove or when repairing Darin's gas stove, as well as the Brest unit, it is necessary to remove the side walls of the oven. Removing the sidewalls, you will see brackets, which are responsible for the clamp.

The brackets must be removed from the oven of the gas stove and visually determine where they are deformed. Using a hammer and pliers, you can try to straighten out the deformed places. But in the event that this part is broken, it must be replaced with a new one. The stores sell different types of spare parts for repairing the oven and stove. Select the brackets that match your gas stove model.

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.

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. Image - Do-it-yourself gas stove oven repair

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.

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:

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.
