Gas burner replacement

I can't believe how difficult this is! help please.............

I need to replace the rusted away gas burners on our Neff gas hob - I have tried to source these things locally but failed!!

Anybody know any suppliers??

Thanks for the help.

Nigel

Is it the burners or the flame spreaders that you're replacing?
Burners should be replaced by Corgi approved tradesman.
As to parts supplies, you'll need the full model number, product number and serial number to find out if they are still available.



Unplug your appliance before working on it.

Thanks for the reply TE.

I need the spreaders - easy you would think??

Not!!

I may have found a supplier using the power of the internet - we will have to see!!

Still would like help and/or suggestions

Nigel

Or by competent house owner/occupiers.

In any case, Nigel_Cro said that he's trying to source the parts, not fit them.

Yes Softus I do know that competent persons can work on gas appliances, however, how is the home owner/occupier going to carry out the necessary gas safety tests after working on it? Some expensive equipment required. Much cheaper to use a Corgi registered tradesman I would think. Or do you think no tests is an acceptable position? I don't, I'll continue to post my replies with safety in mind.

As to the rest of your post, nitpicking is really beneath you. You've posted some excellent replies in this forum but this isn't one of them and the post doesn't actually help the original poster at all.

I don't know how this, or any, owner occupier would carry out the tests, but someone who is unable to do so isn't competent.

At the risk of nitpicking (sic.) again, your statement (competent persons can work on gas appliances) is not quite correct - the law says that only competent persons may work on gas appliances. This is a subtle point, and I believe you know it already, but where safety and the law is concerned I like to be a stickler for accuracy.

I don't disgree - I don't know so I assume that you're right. I was simply pointing out what the law says.

No; that's a bit of a silly question.

I respect that, and I really wasn't intending to undermine your advice, or to conflict with your post.

Ooh, I doubt that everyone would agree with you on that one
That aside, it was entirely possible that you had misinterpreted his original post, so your objection to me pointing that out appears to be an overreaction.

I hope I can graciously accept your compliment, but I beg to differ anyway - my post informed him of what the law says, in case he wasn't aware of it, and helping was my aim.

Softus, stop being a prat. You've already been kicked out of another forum for this nonsense.

There isn't any point in me trying to help others when idiots like you like to try and look clever but fail to offer any decent help at all.

You are one sad individual. You tried spoiling elsewhere and failed. I hope the moderators spot you for what you are and stop you here.

All you've managed to do today is to lose this forum one engineer that offered genuine, free help.

I'm not trying to look anything, but you seem very easily defeated by something that I'm not even aware of doing.

Again - WTF?

No need to be so cryptic - what am I exactly?

Nope - now you've completely lost me. In my universe the following sequence is simply bizarre:
