• We had a suspected gas leak recently, and the engineer pulled out our oven to probe the pipes behind it. Somehow in doing so he broke the ignition function on our gas hobs. Strangely it wasn't working when we first moved into the house, but a plumber fixed it that time when he was by for a different job. Our landlord isn't replying to my requests to have someone 'round to fix it again. Does anyone know what might be the cause, if it's an easy fix? It's an electric fan oven and that still works fine.

  • Gas hobs either have a mains plug for ignition or a tiny battery hidden inside the button, so I suspect they've unplugged it or switched it off.

    (are they separate units or a landlord special oven/hob?)

  • Thanks for the reply! They look to be separate units, the hob is built into the kitchen counter. I guess I'll try pulling out the oven to see if there's anything obviously unpowered.
