Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Gas safety: Ensure all burner knobs are OFF before troubleshooting. If you smell gas, shut off supply and ventilate.

User checks:

  • Verify the hob is plugged in and the socket has power (test with another appliance).
  • Check that the circuit breaker for the hob's electrical supply is on.
  • Try lighting the burner with a long match or gas lighter; if it lights manually, the gas supply is present and the issue is with ignition only.

If there is still no clicking on any burner:

  • The spark generator or its supply may have failed.
  • Replacement requires removing the hob top and should be done by a qualified gas technician.
