Calories gas oven

[Dave Gillings]

My calorie gas oven on my barge will not go out when the switch is turned off ,
Please can anyone help me ,

Anything gas related should really be seen to by a gas safe registered repair person.

1) What brand is the actual oven unit?

2) When you turn the flame up (presumably using the same knob) does the flame respond and get bigger?

3) When was the last time it was serviced?

A broken knob, if obvious, may be easy to repair. But if it is clear it is not this then....

Look for your area and choose someone who lists working on gas cooker appliances.

If it stays lit, and can't be turned, it needs to be checked out rather than a diy repair.

If it is clear it is more complicated than a broken knob, I personally would not take the risk, especially if it were my own gas oven, in my own house. Even more-so on a barge where I expect escape time is restricted and limited.

Many thanks for your advice, do knobs just break , was working ok the week before ,

do knobs just break

Anything can break.

As above - if it's not just a case of replacing a broken knob, then the only option is to call someone from https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/
and before calling them, make sure they can work on cookers, and that they can do LPG as well.

Does the flame respond to turning the knob? i.e get bigger and smaller but just won't turn off.

It could be the valve.

My concern would be that if you blow it out to "turn it off" manually is the gas valve automatically cutting the gas off as it should do for safety.

Not all gas appliances have that feature.

Even more reason to get it checked then. As if it blows out but still feeds gas....well....let's just say it is not good

I think you perhaps mean Calor ! It will be a broken control knob. Best to have it checked .......
