In detail: wrozamet gas stove do-it-yourself repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Do-it-yourself repair of the gas stove is prohibited by the legislation of the Russian Federation. True, criminal liability has not yet been provided for, if an accident occurs, troubles are foreseen. In the hero-city of Volgograd, one wise guy brought the combustion products of a water heater into the ventilation hole. 4 people were killed. The authorities classified the case under the heading of causing death by negligence. Gas service technicians have the right to replace equipment and perform service work. Actual, starting with liners, ending with the transition to another type of fuel. Here are a couple of guidelines, not a user guide, just general techniques.
Darina, Hansa, Ardo - so different and the same at the same time. The repair of gas stoves Hephaestus is like two peas in a pod like the repair of Ariston; gas stoves are made up of standard units. It is enough to consider a single device to understand the circuit. Stock up on a handbook to properly withstand gas pressure. When set correctly, the flame is even and blue in color. Orange flashes indicate an imbalance in the fuel mixture. If the settings are incorrect, the flame breaks out (especially in horn ovens).
For those who have read the reviews of the VashTechnik portal concerning gas flowing water heaters, self-repair of gas stoves will seem like child's play! You cannot do it yourself, but you can clean the device. The master will have to clean candles, combustion sensors, burners, and sometimes nozzles. There are many interesting things inside the gas stove. Those who master the correct cleaning of equipment should understand what we see inside. Under the gas stove table:

If the charge is formed by an electronic circuit, you will find a simple thyristor, diode, capacitor, fuses inside. The circuit works, fed by the charge of the capacitor, followed by a surge of energy from the spark gap of the candle. Repair of electric ignition of a gas stove applies to the listed elements. The malfunction is easy to spot. Burnt parts are black or similar.
Gas is endowed with two significant characteristics:
The calorific value is determined by the composition. The higher the methane content, the lower the parameter. The calorific value of natural gas is predetermined by the field of extraction of the natural resource.
The pressure depends on the type of gas. The liquid needs higher. The main line has a typical value of 13 mbar. This parameter ensures the correct operation of solenoid valves, injectors, burners.
If the pressure is too high, the gas does not burn out completely, soot and orange flames will appear. The system may not work correctly. I have come across instructions recommending the use of a reducer in order to obtain a 13 mbar balloon. There are probably limitations. It is not for nothing that it is recommended to put two cylinders in parallel. Please note that the main gas is actually liquid, supplied through a reducer. It is pumped from cisterns into containers from which houses are supplied. Find out the wiring diagram of the house at the place of residence. There is natural gas, distributed centrally, with lower cost, pressure, and heating value. The pressure is assumed to be 13 mbar. It is necessary to consider the aspect when installing and repairing a gas stove.
The reason to call professionals for installation and configuration is that the wizards know the parameters. Of course, the person with the certificate is also aware of the local conditions.Now imagine what happens if you unknowingly connect the equipment incorrectly! This is gas, no jokes. This is especially true for the hinterland, where neighboring houses may have different connections. It is recommended to buy a set of replacement injectors for a different gas pressure. They described the process of self-boring jets, they mentioned: the law prohibits reworking. The work is unsafe. Before buying, ask the gas service for the parameters, ask the store if the equipment is suitable. It’s not too late to do some inquiries during the next cleaning. Not the fact that everything was done correctly.
How to adjust the jets. The size of the center hole changes. Less pressure, the hole is taken more. Verticality and alignment must be maintained, otherwise the gas will be vented to the side, which will lead to an accident. It is pertinent to recall that in old Soviet gas stoves, the jets are hidden in the depths. The design of the burners is unusual. Between the nozzle and the splitter is a tube with a pair of ears attached to the frame. There is one ram for every two burners. In pairs, the pipes are attached with ears inside the case. A bowl with a nozzle is placed at the lower end, a divider is inserted into the upper end. The gas stove is powered by a jet stream. Propane-butane is heavier than air.
The peculiarity is that opposite the nozzle there is a tube with a radial cut. Needed to unscrew the hex nozzle without using a long socket wrench. In modern gas stoves, the jet is under the flame. A different arrangement improves traction, discourages ordinary people from climbing inside the stove. Do-it-yourself gas stove repair is a dangerous business.
Electric stoves today and for summer residents look more appropriate option.
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.
