Have been getting a slight smell of gas from around a Beko gas cooker which I only bought 10 months ago.
Initially we thought it was coming from a poor horizontal bayonet fitting which I had fully replaced with a new vertical fitting.
But when the gas safe engineer did the measurements afterwards he found that there was a drop and that there was still a leak.
After some investigation, he concluded that a leak was coming from the 10 month old Beko gas cooker itself.
Firstly, I'm shocked that a 10 month old cooker could start leaking and would be interested to know how common this is and what the usual problems are?
Secondly, what readings should you expect and what is considered legal and safe?
Haven't got the readings from him yet but looking back at the gas check I had done with someone else a few months ago, it came out with an operating pressure of 20 (not sure what the units are but hopefully this will make sense). Does this value of 20 make sense and is that ok at the time?
Thanks in advance.
