Any gas oven cooker expert? Oven gas on minimum

ArsenalFC

My gas cooker oven just developed this problem where the fire is only on minimal and the gas knob regulate marker 1-9 doesn't do anything. Normally upon fire up, after a about 10 seconds it fires upto the set gas mark.

This is an old Leisure Silhouette Auto Cooker/grill/oven. Had it over 10 years or so and has never let me down. The gas hobs and grills works as normal.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is probably a sensor in the oven that tells the gas valve that the flame is lit.

That no doubt is faulty.

Thanks. When I blow out the small lit up fire in the oven, it automatically re-ignite the fire, so I guess that sensor is ok. The fault probably lie with a faulty control sensor or valve (if there is such part for the oven).

Need to find out for sure what part needs replacing and whether the apart is available as it's an old cooker oven.

This is gas and unless you are corgi registered you cant work on it!
