Hi,

I've bought a static caravan and I've just connected the gas and noticed that the knobs on the oven seem to be leaking gas. Oddly enough, if you lift the knobs the gas rushes out and they don't seem to operate correctly anyway. Two of the knobs depress as you would expect and turn clockwise to release more gas and when returned to the off position they pop back up again. The two faulty switches do not pop back up and as I’ve mentioned seem to leak gas and more so if you try to pull them up.... odd huh?

Kind Regards,

Will

(I have of course disconnected the gas awaiting a response)

I do not recommend that you fool around with LPG gas and suggest that you get in someone that can fully repair and leak test the hob after repair before you attempt to use it again.

Take out the spindles that the knobs go on and grease with moly grease.This should allow the spindles to work freely and solve the leakage problem.Make sure you dont block any transfer holes in the tap spindles though.
