The ignition spark on the small oven of my new leisure range cooker keeps firing even when the oven is alight. It is a attached to the timer of the clock but when I remove the electrical attachment the oven will not light. Any suggestions ?

My gas hob is made by STOVES, when I switch on electricity the ignition on all four burners are flashing and clicking. if i need a new part is it difficult to replace myself, ie lifting up hob to get to the working parts, is it dangerous, and can my wife continue to cook on it while its clicking or will it cause damage to hob. Is WD40 an answer to spray
on the igniters Thanks Rob

Your switch is jammed, try pushing and releasing quickly after spraying a bit of WD40 on it.
