Free standing gas oven

Only reason I ask is I have just had a gas safety check on one of my properties and the gas safe engineer said " I will pass the boiler but will not pass the oven because the rings are not shutting off when I shut the glass. This has failed a safety feature".
Yes, it should shut off gas when lid is down, to prevent damage to glass lid by heat.

If the feature is part of the appliance then it has to work.
Can't think of anything that the cooker has to have the feature though.

But he didnt know if it had that feature that why I asked do they all. He didnt look at make either.
I was gathering they would all have it as if some did and some never and that feature stopped working how is it unsafe ?

Is there anyway simple way to repair these if it has gone ?

If it has a glass lid it must have safety device if it is a metal lid (never seen one) it can just have a safety label saying not to shut the lid.
As said if it has a safety device fitted it must work.
Covered it recently in acs resit

I doubt it is worth repairing.
New cookers don't need the cut off valve. They rely on vitiation of the burner and FFD intervention.
