Any ideas on why a one gas burner on a hob won't light?

[paranoidmother]

So I have a Gas hob and last time I cleaned it one of the hob burners won't light past a low heat. Now I've cleaned it again and another one won't light at all.

I only wiped around with a bit of cleaner, not too much water as didn't want to flood it. There's no light on the little bit that sticks up to light the gas on the hob (does that make sense - I don't know what it's called) is it a wick?

Any advice would be gratefully received as I don't really want to pay out to get a service engineer if it's only me being silly. Also can't really afford a call out fee etc at the moment.

Thank you

One of my burners hasn't worked since DD1 made fudge and let it boil over. To add insult to the hob's injury the fudge was inedible.

Have you moved the black disc bit? Wiggle it and see if it's in the wrong place.

Will it light it you hold fire to it - so is it completely broken or is it just the clicky-lighter that doesn't work?

Agree with Trills. This often happens to me after I've cleaned stove and it's because the little black disc bit has become dislodged.
