	Hi A Gas in one of our sites when fired stops after the Knob is released. This started yesterday after some body opened the cooker for replacement of electric cooker plate. The cooker has four gas plates, two electric plates and oven. Kindly assist to reveal the cause of the problem. Regards D.D.Mtonyole

	Thermocouple damaged or Knocked out of position of the pilot flame. Wire lead to it knocked off. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	Perhaps it's related to the work done yesterday? Ask the workmen to come back and repair the knob.

	Sounds like the pilot flame is not making good contact with the thermocouple....I would check this first....the flame must engulf the thermocouple to generate the 30 millivolts or so, to open the gas valve.....this is a safety feature that keeps the gas from being turned on with no flame to burn it.... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life
