This built in unit has a gas cut-off valve operated by the left hand grill hinge.
The hinge is worn so the valve remains closed even with the grill door fully open.
It is a fair age but otherwise working fine.
Any one got or know where to get a replacement hinge.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance offered

when i was a young lad!, and remember correctly, there use to be a push rod on this m/c, that road on top of the hinge thus pushing the plunger off and on as you opened/closed the door. it was held inline of the hinge and valve by a guide, fixed to chassis of the cooker, and i think it was on the left hinge?. check to see if the push rod is there, and it habbit of jumping off the hinge.
hope this has helped?.

😀 Thanks Tell; your reply is much appreciated.
No problem with your memory at all. 🙂
In this case while the pushrod is resting on the hinge arm it never gets pushed up enough to operate the valve.
Within the hinge support there seems to be a roller which supports the arm as it moves in & out. I suspect the roller might be worn.
This fault came to my attention while doing other gas work; oven disconnected in the meantime.
💡 I have to return at a later date so am hoping to find a safe solution.
Any offers of a replacement hinge are welcome.
regards,
tom
