Ignition light on hob firing non-stop

[Alchemist]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop it please?!

I have turned it off but would like to resolve it.

Thanks

if you have a press-button to make it spark, there is a chance it has got sticky or jammed in with food spillage, otherwise, you need a mender.

has the sparky pokey bit got bent so it is touching something?

very technical terms there....sorry

That happened to me once when I got too much water under the button when I was cleaning. You could try lifting the button off and wiping underneath.

Ours did this when I got it too wet. Take the button off & waft a hair dryer in the general direction. Don't get it too hot though.
It will dry out & stop in a few hours hopefully.

I have the opposite (sort of) problem - cooked Nigella's ham in coke at the weekend and it boiled over and now my wok burner ring won't light. Gas is flowing and ignition is working - I know this because if I press for long enough I do sort of set fire to something (may be gas, may be coke, may be mix of both....) on one side of the ring but only for as long as I keep pressing the ignition. Do I need a professional hob clean or a Neff engineer visit? At least the ham was good.....

have you tried lifting off the burner and washing it? Sounds to me like the holes are clogged.

[MN216]

Have dishwashed it, soaked it and scrubbed it... oh dear. Am wondering if I keep pressing the ignition for long enough, whether the fire that does start (see my post above) will burn off the obstruction....

[PigletJohn]

maybe the boiled-over actually got into the jet which is underneath the removable burner? It is possible to unscrew and clean them, but it is a gas part so would need a qualified gas fitter

(unless the instruction book tells the householder how to clean them)

Thanks, think I am going to have to get an engineer round....
