No gas to oven (1 Viewer)

[BOSTON BSB]

I have a spinflo caprice mk111 cooker and all of a sudden there is no gas to the oven. The hob and grill are fine, the ignition spark is there but no gas. Any ideas?

Not familiar with that model cooker but it sounds like a blocked jet at the oven burner. Just to rule out an igniter fault (dislodged electrode) , try lighting it with a match.

Could be the flame failure thermocouple faulty.

If it lights then goes out when you release the knob the flame failure device could be faulty. If, as you say, there's no gas at all I would first check that the isolation valve hasn't been turned off (usually a red top 'tap'). If that is OK then trapped or damaged feed pipe, blocked jet, or failed oven gas control.

I had similar issue when I was completely new to MH’s so didn't know the lid had to be open for oven and grill to work.

No they dont always cut the gas to the oven, just the hob
Last 2 vans didnt, but they had a grill above the oven.
