Hi, I have a Diplomat 700G gas cooker with a grill and an oven. Yesterday I left the grill on full while I ate what I had cooked. After realising what I'd done, I turned it off. Now when I turn the knob for the grill, no gas comes out. Can anyone suggest what has happened, and how to fix it please? |P
Gas cooker - grill stopped working

The knob isn't gripping the steel spigot onto which it's affixed - usually in a D shape - pull it off and take a look at the back of the knob, you've probably cracked it where it fits on
Can be even more naff. Somone told me some recent taps actually have plastic spindles which seems to be a bit dangerous. Brian
We had a similar problem. This was caused by a gradual build up of burnt fat "spatter" that eventually blocked the gas inlet jet. This had entered the grill bar via the air hole. It was easily cleaned out and the grill now works fine.

We left grill on and shut it up after cooking and only when we saw smoke coming out realised what we had done and switched it off. Now it has no gas coming through . Any ideas what to do to fix it
Havn't seen a (domestic) gas grill for decades. Might help if you said what antique it was on.
After it cooled down is there still no gas flow?
Make and Model may assist too.
We have a brand new one on our boat, manufactured by "Thetford".
Not domestic, though.
Well our boat is pretty domestic as we live on it some of the time! :-)
The Thetford ovens (etc.) are aimed at caravans mainly which I would class as domestic.
Would you not think that in such a case the gas would be cut of for safety? Brian
