Gas Stove No Longer Igniting

My gas stove is no longer igniting on any of the hobs. I've not seen this before, and imagine the component behind the ignition is gone. It's a Smeg hob.

Any ideas what has gone wrong?

Thanks.

  • I've realised that it's an electrical problem. Several appliances were not working, and the fuse 'trip switch' on the electrical box was down.

    Any ideas what could have caused this, it's been quite stable for years?

    Thanks.

    What electrical appliances have you used this morning?

    Switch each one on in turn, checking the fuses each time.

    Kettle and microwave should be top of your list of usual suspects.
  • @SilverTabby. It looks like it was the kettle, so no so bad! Cheers.
