Recently bought a CK Classic Piezo Electric Gas Lighter for lighting our gas rings on the cooker. Worked like a charm for a couple of weeks then it has, twice now, stopped working and after 24 or so hours starts working again.
When it's not working it feels like the lever you press isn't squeezing the piezo material - there is no "friction" feel. At first I thought something had slipped inside, but was loath to take apart as I might need to return it as faulty. I'm baffled by the erratic behaviour.
Anyone got any insights into what these devices do? Could it be damp/water etc affecting the workings?
