    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 has
    I'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.
  • 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.
