Get the instruction book out that came with your cooker & read it.
Find out what size the pilot light fuse is supposed to be & put one in.
If the fuse continues to blow contact the supplier of you cooker & ask them to investigate under warranty.

The pilot light doesn't have a fuse however the ignition prob hasI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0 -
If you can't find the instructions, either search them online or look for a data badge/sticker on the appliance.
It should state on there what sized fuse is required.
Once you have tried the correct fuse - if the problem is still persisting, I would seek advice from a professional. There could be an underlying problem, such as a faulty spark generator.Mortgage Free Wannabe
