Hello all. I have a Neff gas hob around 15 years old, a fairly basic four burner hob with the spark igniter triggered on each ring by turning the gas control knob(s) on. Recently, on the rear left burner, the igniter keeps firing/clicking even when a flame is established. The other three are still OK. I can’t imagine it is a complicated thing, but I have no real idea what the component could be that gives such a fault. If anyone here would be kind enough to enlighten me please as to the likely faulty item, I’ll look up a spare and see if it is within my DIY skills to fix it or not.
Thank you.
Re: Neff gas hob, igniter keeps sparking on one burner?
Hi
Sounds like the spark generator or lead or even both may be at fault.
Sadly though we are unable to advise on Gas DIY repairs link here explains as to the reasons why.
Like before if you post up the Enr and FD number we may be able to point you in the right direction.

OK thanks Don. I’ll take a look. I’d not touch anything gas myself. But this seems entirely electric and may be DIYable. Thank you again.

Unfortunately, the numbers are not visible on the hob, they are blocked by the hob sitting in the worktop. However, on the Neff website it seems the 99.9{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} similar hob is still made, the N30 580mm stainless steel hob looks pretty much identical.Re: Neff gas hob, igniter keeps sparking on one burner?
Trouble is by searching by a different Enr number the ignition pack may be different to what you have.
You will need to have the correct Enr in order to get the correct one. I have just done a quick search on one of our trade sites and there are over 80 different Neff ignition units!!

Yes, I know! Given that the igniter itself is working and that the other three burners behave themselves I am of the opinion it is likely the thermocouple on the rear left burner that is broken. However, despite it being a simple fix with the hob removed, that needs a gas engineer. So it is likely to go unfixed at the present time. Thanks for taking the time and interest to post your advice. It is very much appreciated.
