Mend Diplomat Burner Fires Power

Burner Ignitor fires continously?

The igniters on all four burners spark continuously and don't stop. I had to stop the power off to the kitchen in order to stop this. Pl. help. The model is Diplomat

The gas hob will have its own separate mains supply for the igniter, so that is all that needs to be switched off. I had the same problem and here is a fix I performed. My hob has only one switch which requires a manual press to ignite:
- Switched off mains supply to gas hob
- removed plastic push button – just pulls off. Removed hex nut holding switch pin
- squirted wd40 down top of switch spindle into switch body
- tapped switch lightly and gave it several vigorous pushes
- replaced button and switched power back on
- presto = works fine again!
This is an easy fix to try and safe as it doesn’t involve removing the gas hob – you must have a Corgi fitter for that. Wd40 is great stuff and solves problems like this where corrosion or debris is causing the switch to short out.
