When your gas stove suddenly stops working, it can interrupt your entire day — whether you’re running a restaurant or cooking at home. A non-functional burner, a weak flame, or clicking ignition are all signs that something isn’t right.
This guide will help you understand real causes, fixes, and safety steps for common gas stove problems — based on how certified technicians at Easy Gas Repairing (Delhi NCR) handle them.
Common Gas Stove Problems and Real Causes
🔹 1. Burner Not Lighting Properly
Possible Causes:
- Blocked gas jets or burner holes
- Faulty ignition switch
- Low gas pressure or air blockage in the line
Quick Fix:
Turn off the gas, remove the burner cap, and clean holes with a soft wire or toothbrush.
If the problem persists, it’s likely an ignition or pressure regulator issue, which should only be handled by a technician.
🔹 2. Weak or Uneven Flame
Possible Causes:
- Clogged nozzle or gas line
- Airflow imbalance in the mixer tube
- Low cylinder pressure
Real Fact:
PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation) data shows that most flame irregularities come from poor gas flow due to dust or grease build-up inside the burner assembly.
Solution:
Get a professional cleaning every 3–6 months — it restores gas flow and saves 10–15% on gas consumption.
🔹 3. Continuous Clicking Sound
Cause:
Moisture or food spills inside the ignition module.
This is very common after washing the cooktop.
Fix:
Unplug the stove, keep it dry for a few hours, and avoid water entering the knobs.
If it still clicks, the ignition switch may be shorted and needs replacement.
🔹 4. Yellow or Orange Flame
Cause:
Lack of oxygen or dirty burner holes.
A healthy flame should always be blue — yellow or orange means incomplete combustion, which can release carbon monoxide (CO).
Fix:
Clean the burner holes thoroughly and ensure proper ventilation.
If the flame still remains yellow, call a gas technician immediately.
🔹 5. Gas Smell or Leakage Warning
If you smell gas — don’t panic, but act fast.
- Turn off the main gas valve immediately.
- Open windows and doors for ventilation.
- Avoid switching on any electrical appliance.
- Contact your local gas repair service near you for leak detection and fixing.
Fact:
In Delhi NCR, over 70% of household gas leaks occur due to loose pipe joints or old rubber hoses — both preventable through regular inspection.
When to Call a Professional Technician
You should not try DIY fixes if:
- Gas smell continues after basic checks
- Flame remains weak despite cleaning
- You hear hissing sounds from the pipeline
- Ignition or regulator seems faulty
