Gas stove problems
Make sure that the burner head is properly aligned with the gas ring. If it’s not, it won’t be able to create a proper seal even if there is gas in the stove. To check this, turn the burner knob counterclockwise and remove the burner head from its base. Rotate the appliance until you can see see inside, then check if the cone on top of the gas jet lines up with the middle of the burner head.
One of the most common reasons why a gas stove won’t stay on is because the safety valves are not working properly. Have a certified technician come out and inspect the safety valves to make sure they are in proper working part. If they detect any problem, they can repair or replace the faulty parts to get your stove back in working condition.
Another easy troubleshooting tip is to make sure all the burners and igniters are clean. If there is too much debris built up, it will prevent the ignite from sparking or cause it to spark erratically which can affect the stove’s ability to stay lit. Clean out burners and igniters with a brush and look for any signs of corrosion or other damage.
