The igniter is one of the most frequently used items in your cooker setup, which means that is also one of the most common to experience problems with. Although there are several types of cooker ignition systems, each one experiences a set of similar functionality problems which arise across cooker models.
Cooker Ignition Not Working - Troubleshooting
To help you diagnose the problem and resolve it efficiently, here are a few things to look out for:
A Dirty Hob
The problem with your ignition could be as simple as the burner, valves and ignition being clogged with food and grease that may have built up over time. Before inspecting, make sure that the gas supply is switched off, then inspect the areas which could be impacting your ignition. If problems persist after a thorough clean, you will need to look elsewhere to find the source of the problem. To avoid this issue, be sure to invest in some appropriate hob cleaning products that will help to prevent damage.
Faulty Ignition System
There are a number of issues that can impact the performance of your ignition system, including the following:
- Electric Circuitry: If your ignition operates on an electric system, there could be a number of issues causing the performance to cease, including a broken circuit breaker, loose wiring or a faulty ignition switch.
- No Spark: Turn off the gas and test the ignition button on your cooker. If there is no clicking sound and you cannot see any sparks, then your igniter will need to be replaced.
Gas Supply
If there does not seem to be a problem with the ignition components, it may be the case that the problem is with the gas supply. Here are a few things that you can check to assess whether or not this is the source of the issue:
- Empty Tank: Check the upward facing gauge on the top of the tank. If this is at 5% or less, this means that it is empty.
- Isolation Valves Off: There are usually two valves, one at the gas tank and another outside your property. If either of these is switched off this will impact your supply.
- Excess Flow Valve Engaged: This safety device will activate if there is a sudden surge of gas, and will also be turned off manually when activity is being carried out on the tank. I this is the case, it will need to be reset to restore the supply.
*Important: do not attempt to perform gas repair work if you are not qualified to do so. If you suspect that there is an issue, call a Gas Safe engineer to correctly identify and resolve the problem.*

Your oven fan is an essential part for maintaining the function of your appliance, so when this becomes faulty, you're sure to notice a problem straight away. The telltale sign that your oven fan is not working is unevenly cooked food. Because your oven fan is responsible for distributing the heat evenly inside your oven cavity, to ensure your meals are cooked accurately. So what could be preventing your oven's fan from working?
Why is the Oven Fan Not Working?
Faulty oven fan performance is usually due to one of two parts that your fan relies upon in order to function correctly:
The Oven Fan Motor
If your oven fan is not working, it is likely that your oven's fan or fan motor has become faulty. These parts are the main components of your oven fan, and they help to ensure your food is cooked evenly. Some signs that these parts have failed include excess noise coming from the fan, along with the element successfully heating, but proving ineffective in circulating this heat around your oven.
