Problem with jet on Gas hob

DieHard · Post by **DieHard** » Mon 27 Oct 2014 9:01 am

I have a gas hob and the jet that I use mostly, because it is the largest and fastest, has almost stopped working, only just lights up, and will not go onto full power, although control will turn up high. Anyone know a solution or someone who can clean it or replace?

It's probably the tiny hole in the centre of the jet that has become blocked - you would be better contacting the service agent for your particular brand of hob via any of the shops which sell that brand.

The service engineers normally carry a full range of spares for the brands that they handle, and it would take them about 2 minutes to replace it.

Thanks Keith, the make is Ocean, we went with our dubious builder to Lefkosa somewhere on the industrial estate to buy it, but cannot remember where.

Might not be the jet, might be the gas regulator from the supply bottle/tank.

Are the other jets responding normally?

If you know how to remove safely, remove the jet and clear the small obstruction with a fine needle or wire, if that doesn't work, place the jet in hot white vinegar for a while.

Either usually works.
