Electric ignition on Neff gas hob

[GlenGill]

Despite thorough cleaning, the "spark" on the Neff gas hob (Type 21) continues to operate even after the burners have lit. Installed over 4 years ago, and perfectly OK up to now. Is there anything I can do to stop this annoying problem, please?

Could be damp getting past the rubber boot covering the igniter button due to a split or hole.
Had similar problem .... Dried out the unit by warming throughly, if the igniter problem is cleared then 90% sure it is due to water ingress.
If this does not do the 'trick' then you will need a more knowledgable answer.

I do have a 'natty' method of covering the 'button', to replace a damaged boot thus sealing out damp. The cap from a Steradent, denture cleaning, tablet, container tube .. this is flexible and sllows the button to be pressed with ease

I used 'jell' type 'Evo-stick' applied to the peripheral edge of the 'cap', having cleaned / degreased, both hob face and cap location edge with Methalayted spirit......
I guess the correct rubber boot or button cover would be best, but can you fit it without partially dismantling the hob ?
Best of luck !!

Pip you could have covered the name on the tube what a dead giveaway! Now you'll never convince the young females on here that you are a virile young man

What? Her teeth or the tablets?

We have "Steradent"* here, and none of us (or our neighbours AFAIK) have false teeth.

It can be a useful cleaning material for glassware, decanters, vases etc. Bit of warm water, pop in a couple of tabs, leave overnight.

*Supermarket own brand equivalent, actually.

Despite earlier helpful and other responses, problem still exists. The illustration does not appear to be same as my Neff hob which is black/silver.
Help still hoped for, please!
