Everyone is trying to save money and time when the need of the hour is to fix household appliances. While many of us would call the ‘field expert’ for the basic repairing of the items, this article is going to help you repair a gas cooktop burner on your own. You don’t have to call gas stove repair home service for very minor issues anymore.

In this, we are going to learn about disassembling, fixing, and reassembling the gas cooktop burner.

Cooking range repair services Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru are making a lot of noise because of the heavy population and busy schedule of people living there.

Common Problems in a Gas Cooktop Burner

1. The most common problem in gas cooktop burners is that not all the holes are ignited or partially ignited. It also includes uneven ignition.
2. The food waste is stuck in holes so it won’t let the gas out properly which can cause the burner not to ignite.
3. The hose is damaged by mice or if it’s old, it won’t supply the gas to the stove.

Tools Required for Fixing the Cooktop Burner

Gas stove repair home service basically requires: 

• Screwdriver
• Spanners
• Needle
• sandpaper/brush
• and some clothes

How to Start Gas Cooktop Repair?

First, we need to find out the issue which is causing the gas burner not to work. cut the gas supply and then use the spanners and wrenches to disassemble the cooktop burner. After disassembling it we need to clean the surface with sandpaper or brush because it might have caught the rust or dust.

After cleaning the surface we should check the inside of the holes if it’s see-through or not, if it’s not see-through it’s because of the dust or the food waste stuck inside the holes. 

In that case, we should wash the burner and clean it and even then if it’s stuck then we should use the needle or some sharp instrument to clear every obstruction from inside. If you see any damaged part(mainly in the old cooktop burners) in the burner try replacing it with a new one, otherwise, it might never fix the issue. 

Now reassemble and it is going to work properly if the issue was related to uneven/partial ignition. Make sure it is connected to the main supply of gas.

If it still is not working then there is a fault in other parts of the cooktop and not in the burner. Try changing the switch or the hose connected cause they are to blame for the fault if it’s not the issue of proper ignition.

Other issues

1. If the burner or flames make little noise then it is because of the cooktop being new in operation but there is nothing to be worried about if the flames are uniform, even and on an average standard, 0.25 to 0.37 inches high. Noisy flames can also be stopped by shutter adjustment below or near the switch of the gas supply.
2. If the flames are yellow and not blue then there might be an issue with your gas service provider, contact them for quality assurance. You can achieve the flames in blue color if you keep the flames very low.
3. If there are multiple burners on your cooktop and one of them is not working even after doing everything we talked about earlier then it is an issue of internal clog in the gas supply pipes connected with each other, but that’s very rare and it needs to be changed.

Precautions to be taken care of

1. Check the cylinder and hose supplying gas to the burner properly, if you smell the gas odor, you need to immediately open all the windows and doors for ventilation.
2. Do not use fire on any terms like using lighter or match sticks if you smell the gas, trying to ignite the burner may cause serious consequences.
3. Check and replace the hose if it’s damaged. Always use the best quality of hose, it can prevent fire hazards.
4. Do not turn on any electric appliance in the room/kitchen because the cooking gas is highly inflammable.
5. Call the gas supplier and get the issue fixed if it is related to the cylinder. 
6. Before disassembling, check if it’s not hot after recent cooking.
