Possible Causes

Clogged burner ports, Misaligned burner cap, Low gas pressure, Partially blocked injector (jet) specific to Miele burner

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off the burner and allow it to cool. Shut off gas supply if removing injectors.

  • Clean burner: Remove the burner cap and head. Clean ports with a soft brush and a wooden toothpick (never enlarge holes with metal tools).
  • Check cap alignment: Reinstall the burner cap so it sits flat and centered on the burner base.
  • Verify gas supply: Ensure the gas shutoff valve is fully open and that other gas appliances in the home operate normally.
  • Injector cleaning: If one burner remains weak, remove the burner head and carefully clean around the injector (jet). If blocked, the injector may need to be removed and cleaned or replaced by a technician.
