Hob do-it-yourself gas repair

In detail: the hob do-it-yourself gas repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

The hob is one of the most important appliances in the kitchen, and, like any other technique, is prone to breakdowns, but making repairs with your own hands is quite simple. If a malfunction is discovered during the warranty period, your stove will be repaired free of charge. But if a breakdown occurs several years later, you can try to repair the hob with your own hands, since contacting specialists can cost a little less than buying a new stove.

In this article, our experts have listed all the malfunctions of the hob and step by step disassembled the process of repairing the malfunctions with their own hands.

The hob does not turn on - the most common malfunction of electrical panels, the device is plugged into the outlet, but does not work at all, or only one of the burners does not heat up. DIY repair can be disassembled into the following steps:

We check the voltage in the outlet; due to heavy loads, the contacts of the outlet often burn out.
We check the plug and cord for mechanical damage - they can simply shorten or even break the chain. Most often, damage is observed at the points where the panel is plugged into the outlet. Found damage - we replace the cord.
We turn off the power, remove the fasteners and dismantle the surface from the tabletop. We disassemble the surface and move on to the next step.
We take a multimeter and check the transformer, the next step is to check the thermal fuse. In the absence of resistance, or if it differs significantly from that declared by the manufacturer, parts must be replaced, they are sold in many electronics stores.
One hotplate on the hob does not work - it is necessary to check all the wires, as well as their connections to the burners, thermostat, switches, control panel for the fact of an open circuit. If the malfunction is not visually visible, all the contacts are in place, we take a multimeter and check each connection.

Although induction panels are the most modern and high-tech devices, they are also not immune to malfunctions. We will analyze the main malfunctions of induction panels, and what repairs you can try to do yourself.

The induction hob does not turn on or turns off immediately - most often this is a feature of this type of panel, and not a malfunction. The induction hob has a protective function, if you use the wrong diameter or material of the cookware, the hob will automatically turn off the power, and the hotplate will not heat up. Also, the hotplate will turn off automatically if you remove the dishes from the surface.
The induction hob heats up for a long time and weakly - again, we read the requirements for the dishes in the instructions. 90% of induction hob malfunctions are associated with the wrong cookware.
The induction hob turns on automaticallyalthough there is no cookware on the hotplate.Remove all metal objects and clean the salt from the stove, if this does not help, you have a problem in the control unit, it needs to be repaired or replaced. Better to contact the service.
The induction hob does not work... The principle of diagnostics and repair does not change, specialists first of all check the fuse. then they ring the entire chain for an open circuit and replace the burnt-out part.

The last type of cooking appliances is a gas surface. One of the simplest and easiest to repair with your own hands. Less electronics are used, so there are not many faults and everything is easily eliminated.

Gas does not ignite or ignites poorly. We immediately check the electric ignition (piezo) for the presence of blockage or liquid. In 90% of cases, it is enough to wash it thoroughly and dry it. If this does not help, we check the presence of electricity in the circuit leading to the piezo coil.
The gas hob does not turn on because gas does not flow to the burner. Repair of hobs in these cases is not needed, prevention is enough. We check the gas pipe, if the valve is open and there is gas in the system, proceed to check the nozzles. The clogging occurs with fat or food debris, it is enough to clean it. Do not forget to wipe dry after cleaning, moisture should not remain. If moisture remains, the piezo will not ignite.

Modern hobs are equipped with sensors for detecting faults and diagnostic modules, an error code appears on the screen. We find the code in the instructions and follow the specified recommendations to eliminate a specific malfunction. Use the forums, there you can find real reviews and experiences on DIY repair from specialists and other users, namely your model with detailed instructions and photos.

If we analyze all the malfunctions of hobs that may occur during operation, we can say with confidence that most of them can be repaired by hand.

Fuse blown
Contact broke
The chain is broken
Cable damage
Clogged stove, nozzles
The heating element broke
Sensor does not work

All these malfunctions are eliminated by hand, if you are faced with a more complex problem and are not sure of your knowledge and strength, contact the service center.

What do you need for daily food preparation? High temperature and the ability to control the heat source. As it turned out, there are not so many types of home "hearth".

a kerosene burner - 5 decades ago it was a staple in any kitchen;
a gas stove is by far the most widespread "hearth";
electric stove - can be a separate element or an integrated component of the kitchen.

Let's consider the last option in more detail. When visiting the kitchen was an exclusively utilitarian affair (that is, the hostess was only interested in the cooking process), no one thought about the appearance of the electric stove.

Accordingly, from a technical point of view, it was a very primitive apparatus:

frame;
heating element (spiral or heating element in its own case);
thermostat (not present in every model);
mechanical heating regulator (spiral resistance switch).

It was possible to repair such a plate with a screwdriver and pliers in hand. Even the heating coil was easily made by hand: a nichrome wire was wound on a regular pencil. More advanced craftsmen used an electric drill and a wooden frame. The steel bar was inserted into the chuck and the winding process was much faster.

Then fashion trends of modern design came into the kitchen, and simple electric stoves no longer fit into kitchen corners and furniture sets. There are hobs that are built into the worktop.

Such household appliances are not only beautiful, they have extended functionality. The heating element is controlled by electronic controllers, and there are various security systems.Most of the products are equipped with touch control panels; a mechanical handle is not found even in economy class models. To repair a modern hob with your own hands, you must have basic knowledge of electronics.

The conventional spiral in ceramic insulator holders has long been discontinued. Instead, 3 types of electric heaters are used, both direct and indirect:

Having figured out the design of the heaters, you can repair your own hob.

If one of the burners does not work, you can survive. But the breakdown of the entire plate is already a problem. You can take the equipment to the workshop, but in addition to the cost of spare parts, you will be charged money for the work performed. If you know how to hold a soldering iron in your hands, and have at least a multimeter, you can repair the hob yourself.

Breakage of heating elements: for spiral or halogen burners, this is more a mechanical than an electrical problem, the parts are quite repairable. As a last resort (eg halogen heater) simple replacement. The induction emitter (winding) does not break in principle, the problem may be in the electronics.
Failure of switching elements or conductors. These can be relays, contacts, thyristor switches. They are not the most difficult elements to repair.
Electronic circuits: generator, transformer, controllers, control unit. Without a deep knowledge of electronics, repairing these elements will not work. In the best case, you can dismantle the faulty element and install a new one.

Before starting a complex repair, try to diagnose "problems" that can be eliminated without disassembling the structure.

For example, check the power supply from the incoming circuit breaker, before connecting the direct power cable from the panel (including the outlet, if present). The presence of power is checked with a multimeter on the terminal block of the plate.

If the control panel does not work, check its dryness (if there are movable keys) and cleanliness (in the sensor unit). Oftentimes, a layer of dried spray just prevents the touch buttons from "feeling" your fingers.

Panels that are built into the kitchen worktop are most often used. The appliance has an independent body with a decorative plane, under which the heating elements are located. Carefully take out the panel and place it face down on a flat surface. It is recommended to disconnect the supply wires before starting disassembly. It will not be superfluous to remind you that the wiring must be de-energized in advance.

After carefully dismantling the cover, we get full access to the "internal organs" of the panel. Any design has a similar layout: all electrical elements are located in a so-called working "trough" without separating barriers. The illustration shows a variant where HiLight heaters are installed on all burners.

Already at this stage, it is possible to visually diagnose the integrity of the wiring and spiral (tape) heaters. All blocks and modules are connected using connectors or contact terminals. When the fault is localized, you can easily remove the assembly for replacement or a more detailed check.

For example, you can remove a heater in an insulating housing, apply power to it, and check its functionality with the instrument.

Fault diagnostics is carried out from simple to complex. After the fuse, we check the wiring and the performance of the heating elements. The on-off control of the heating filament is carried out using PWM (pulse width modulation). Don't let this confuse you. All the same, the power supply is supplied by ordinary relays, which are checked with a multimeter.

A burnt-out spiral (tape) is usually replaced entirely; this is not the most expensive element.As a temporary measure, a mechanical connection can be made (rivet or screw for the tape, and the connection with a screw terminal for the spiral). This will allow the stove to work again for some time. Such a "splice" will live for several days, so buy a new spare part in the very near future.

Power relays cannot be restored, definitely - replacement.

The same applies to halogen heaters. Thermal elements are not repaired (in fact, it is an electric lamp), they are replaced with new ones.

As for the burnt wiring, you should pick up a wire with similar characteristics, make the whole harness, and replace it using end switches.

Contact groups are checked for strength and thermal damage before reassembly, cleaned and reassembled.

If after checking it turned out that all power conductors and elements (including heaters) are in order, the electronics remain. Self-repair is possible only if you have specialized skills and a detailed electrical diagram.

If you know for sure that it is the electronic module that does not work, and there is no way to professionally diagnose it, you can take this particular unit to the brand workshop. It will be checked (for a small fee) at the stand, or in a similar model of the hob. You can install a repaired or new unit in place yourself.

Some craftsmen restore the hob to work by changing the control scheme. For example, you can power the heating elements from a homemade manual control unit outside the main body. If the cost of restoring standard modules is too high, and the stove heats up properly with a direct connection, this method has the right to life.

Only experienced electricians can repair induction hobs. Without knowledge of the material, with a simple multimeter and pliers, the operation is doomed to failure. At the same time, many problems are not malfunctions at all: a common violation of the operating mode.

The induction hotplate either does not turn on at all, or the power is lost immediately after starting work. This can be a protective function: if you remove the dishes from the heating plane, or the size does not correspond to the diameter of the hotplate, the automation will block the operation. The same applies to aluminum or copper cookware.
The same problem (wrong cookware) can lead to the induction hob not working at full capacity.
Self-switching on of the heater may be due to contamination of the plate, or the presence of a massive steel (cast iron) object next to it.

Real malfunctions, not related to a violation of the operating mode, manifest themselves in the circuit of the inductive field generator. As we have already noted, the winding fails very rarely.

Typical diagram in the illustration:

In fact, there is no space technology here. The transformer converts the supply voltage, and the generator creates an increased frequency of oscillations of the electromagnetic field. After a visual inspection (for clearly "burnt" radioelements), the generator is checked using a home oscilloscope. If you have such a device, there is no point in explaining the principle of checking the inductor generator, your level is sufficient for repair.

If you do not have enough experience, you will have to contact the masters. In any case, repairing a single unit is not as expensive as buying a new panel.

With the exception of a minimum percentage of real factory faults, most failures occur due to a violation of the connection and operation mode.

unstable mains voltage damages the electronics;
the use of dishes that do not correspond to the dimensions of the heating surface leads to local overheating;
impacts, spilled liquid on a hot surface form cracks, chips through which moisture penetrates into the case.

But still, the main reason for equipment failure is ignoring the requirements of the instructions.

First, let's talk about how to repair an electric hob and what kind of malfunctions this version of the stove may have. Most often, owners are faced with a situation when the hob does not work or one of the burners does not heat up when the power is connected. Image - DIY gas repair hob

In this case, the repair is reduced to the fact that you need to perform the following steps:

Check the voltage at the outlet, because perhaps it was this electrical point that was out of order, as a result of which there is no power.
Carefully inspect the cord and plug for mechanical damage. Sometimes this is where the repair ends - you just need to replace the electrical plug or cord.
Remove the hob from the worktop by disconnecting all wires and unscrewing the fastening strips.
Use a multimeter to check the thermal fuse (pictured below) and the transformer. If there is no resistance or differs from the nominal, you need to replace the circuit elements with new ones.
Check all wire connections (on the control unit, switches, thermostat, burners) and make sure that there is no trivial open circuit. First, try to visually find the fault, and then use a multimeter to ring all sections of the circuit according to the diagram.

Often, finding a breakdown of an electric hob with your own hands is not difficult if you know how to handle a multimeter. In the absence of this device, you can use an indicator screwdriver, which will show the presence of voltage in a certain section of the circuit.

In addition, I would like to tell you why the hob may stop working, so that you know the cause of the malfunctions and how to repair each. So, among the main breakdowns, the following are most common:

The first option is a marriage from the manufacturer, sometimes it happens, as we saw from one of the reviews on the Internet, which said that the Ariston electric hob cracked by itself and the victim was replaced with a new one under warranty. However, another explanation of the malfunction is more common - improper operation, which is described in detail in the instructions for the technique. In the latter case, repairing the hob will be expensive and only through your fault.

Immediately, we recommend watching a visual video instruction, which shows how to properly repair an electrical surface:

If your induction hob does not work, there may also be several reasons for the malfunction. For your attention, an overview of the main faults and methods of repair on your own:

Repair instructions for an induction cooker are provided in the video:

Well, the last option for equipment that can fail is a gas stove. If your gas hob does not work, there are not many reasons for malfunctions. Usually problems arise with the piezoelectric element and the nozzle from which the gas is supplied.

So, to your attention, the causes of breakdowns and how to repair the hob with your own hands:

Pieza ignites poorly. In this case, check the electric ignition of the burner for blockages. If the ignition is really clogged, wash it and wipe it thoroughly with a dry cloth after washing.
Gas does not flow. First check to see if the tap on the gas pipe itself is closed. After that, get to the nozzle and check if it is clean. The reason why the gas can stop flowing or is supplied poorly is most often the contamination of the nozzle with grease or food. Repairing such a malfunction will not be difficult, the main thing is, after washing, thoroughly wipe off the water with a dry cloth.

These are all the main malfunctions of a gas hob. Sometimes incorrect operation can be caused by improper installation of kitchen appliances.We recommend that you familiarize yourself with how to properly connect an electric hob with your own hands!

In addition, it should be noted that most standard breakdowns can be indicated by a code on the display, with an additional intermittent signal sounding. This code is the name of the error, which can be found in the attached instructions. To repair here or another malfunction on an existing error, you can find it on the thematic forums and read the reviews of those who have already encountered this problem and, perhaps, know why the equipment beeps.

Finally, I would like to summarize that most often the electric hob does not work due to a fuse failure or a broken contact. The least often the control unit breaks down, which is already difficult to repair yourself. We hope that now you know why this technique breaks down and what to do for DIY repair!

Previously, almost all household appliances were detached. However, progress does not stand out of place: now you can find many objects of the built-in type.

Glass ceramic hob

The hob has become a real find for many users - in fact, the same stove, only in a smaller size. This technique can be gas or electric. Among the latest options, users prefer glass-ceramic models, not only powerful, but also with an attractive appearance.

Creative surface design

The gas hob is no different from a conventional stove except for the absence of a built-in oven. To connect it, you only need a constant gas source and a fuel supply hose. The panel is easy to put on a pedestal. It is compact and does not take up much space, which makes the technique indispensable in small kitchens.

Like any household appliance, the hob is susceptible to all sorts of problems. One of the most common are non-working burners. The occurrence of this kind of malfunction is typical for both electrical and gas models. Repairs can be carried out on your own or by calling a mechanic. However, craftsmen can often take a lot of money for generally simple work.

We will figure out why such problems arise and how to repair the hobs with our own hands. Each type has its own characteristics, which will be considered.

Power relays providing power to the heating elements

The situation when the ignition system fails is one of the most common. The situation applies to both electric and gas hobs. It occurs in panels that have been in operation for five years. For new ones, this is more the exception than the rule. The reasons for the failures can be as follows:

Electrical ignition interrupted.
Weak gas control.
The gas burner is clogged. These can be both cleaning agent residues and food residues trapped under the gas burner lid.
The surface of the panel is flooded with water.
The button for turning on the supply of current or gas is faulty.

Next, let's look at the main causes of ignition problems and how to resolve them.

Let's say the hob is connected to the electrical network, but the button for turning on the burners does not work. This happens when the power supplied through the wires is insufficient for operation. This happens in houses with a weak power supply, or when the hob is connected to a tee. In this case, an electric voltage stabilizer comes in handy. When connecting electrical appliances to it, it begins to evenly distribute energy between all equipment. Thus, it is possible to provide the 220 volts necessary for the operation of the panel. Also, a voltage stabilizer will minimize the risk of burning electrical appliances in the event of a voltage surge or short circuit.

Electric voltage stabilizer

The following symptoms may indicate problems:

The hotplate does not turn on when the button is pressed.
The candles spark when switched on, but the cooking zones do not light up.
The panel turns off after releasing the start button.

Repairing a hob powered by electricity is possible in several ways.

Dirt on the hob, especially on the ignition mechanism, is the most common cause of sticking buttons. It occurs after splashing or boiling food during cooking. Over time, the dirt hardens, clogging the mechanism and the burners themselves. The solution to this problem is quite simple: wipe the surface and clean the nozzle with a needle. This will free the burner from burns and other particles that clog it. Once everything is dry, turn on the panel again and check if the hob will work.

Diagram of the structure of the burner from an electric stove

When the spark plugs are sparkling yellow or orange, this is a sure sign that the power supply is broken. If you notice sparking candles, then in this case you should disassemble the panel in order to get to the electronic filling of the device. It is necessary to act as follows:

Disconnect the hob from the mains.
Using a screwdriver and other tools at hand, remove the top cover.
Now disconnect the contacts from the power supply.

Thus, you can replace the block: just take the broken one and show it in the store to sales assistants who will offer a working part.

You can make sure that the problem is with the unit by turning on the hob in the dark. If the spark is blue, it means that the unit is working, if it is yellow or orange, it needs to be replaced.

Sparking yellow or orange light can also be due to oxidation of the candle stem. The problem is solved by replacing the defective part. It is worth noting that such problems are extremely rare and occur only where the concentration of moisture in the air exceeds all necessary standards for a long time.

It can also happen with too frequent transfusions. Particles of water can penetrate the inside of the panel, causing droplets to enter the wires or microcircuits. In this case, fast and high-quality drying will help, otherwise the candle rod may oxidize. Otherwise, the wires will coarse and can easily break, as a result of which you will have to completely replace the electronic filling of the hob.

The interior of the electric hob

Such problems are typical for hobs that have been used for a long time. The burners either light up for too long or go out after releasing the handle. This type of problem is caused by a clogged thermocouple. This mechanism is responsible for supplying gas to the burner. If the burners go out quickly, disassemble the burners, find the thermocouple and clean with the help of the handy items. A regular wire, needle or knife will do.

If the measures taken do not bring the desired effect, then perhaps the reason is a malfunction of the thermocouple itself or the magnetic valve. These parts will have to be replaced.

The induction model is considered one of the most high-tech and advanced on the world market. However, she is also not immune to all kinds of problems. Often, the heating quality of a particular dish depends on its type. So the hotplate does not turn on. Problems can be as follows:

They turned on the panel, but as soon as the button was released, it went out. In this case, the cause is not at all a malfunction of the ignition. Many induction hobs have a safety mechanism that reacts to the diameter or type of cookware on the hotplate. When you remove the cookware from the hotplate, it also turns off, and in this case nothing extraordinary will happen.
Interruptions when switching on the burners. This may be due to surface contamination. Salt is the most common cause of these problems.Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and dry the hob, after which the device will be completely at your disposal.
The hotplate does not turn on. In this case, all that remains is to disassemble the panel and check the contacts. If one of the wires or fuses burns out, then you will have to replace these parts with serviceable ones. The wires, if they are cut off, can be soldered on their own, but it is better to entrust such delicate work to professional craftsmen.

The interior of an induction hob

In this case, you do not have to figure out the reason for the sudden breakdown of the hob for a long time, since gas models have a rather uncomplicated and therefore intuitive design. Here, manufacturers use much less electronics and microcircuits, so repairing a gas hob, if it does not ignite, will be extremely simple.

If the burners do not light up or burn very weakly even at maximum settings, we repair the equipment according to the following scheme:

Check the cooking zones for clogging, especially the electric ignition.
If you find a lot of fluid or debris stagnant, try cleaning with a needle or fine, sharp stick.

In most cases, this will be sufficient. If the measures taken did not lead to the resumption of operation of the equipment, check the electrical circuit for serviceability.

The reason that the hob burners do not light can also be a delay or blockage of the gas flow. In this case, no repairs are required: just check the gas pipe.

If gas continues to flow when the tap is open, but the burners do not light up, clean the nozzles from debris or moisture. This can be done both with a long needle and with a cotton swab. To do this, follow these steps:

Remove the lid from the hotplate.
Carefully detach the burner from the stove.
We insert the sharp tip of a needle, an unbent paper clip or wire into the nozzle and carefully remove all stagnant debris: food particles, burn marks and other contaminants.

Now it remains to check how well the gas supply works. Remember: you cannot test without putting the iron cover from the burner in its place. The main thing here is to carry out prophylaxis on time and prevent the food being cooked from boiling over, and most importantly, not to fill in the nozzles while washing the stove, when the residues of the cleaning agent, settling under the burners, cause a blockage.

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 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 will 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.
