Cooker's gas grill

[OilSheikh]

My grill has died .. boohoo and I miss my onion rings...

Before, I had to hold the switch after the grill was lit and let go after a few seconds. It would stay lit. Now, it doesn't stay lit.

Any ideas?

tape the switch down until you can afford to replace/fix it properly?

You could always fry or griddle your onion rings!

It sounds as if it is the flame failure device. (It has failed ) Older cookers use a thermocouple, I think newer ones pass a current through the ionised (burning) gas and monitor that. If the flame goes out, it cuts off the gas supply. Not sure it is a fix-it-yourself job.

Last time I called a handyman, he replaced some cable like thing at the top and charged me £35. Called him today and he wants £75.
