I am happy to report that I asked kaibart about being a mod and he has agreed to join us. 🙂
I’m happy with that and hope you guys can help if needed.

It is odd and not a thing Liebherr is known to have a problem with, first one I’ve come across and I can’t think on any other reason other than there being some sort of a blockage.

The second one is tiny but if that’s been cut then it’d be rendered useless, you cannot damage that in any way.

My access doesn’t have that one listed, ASWO might have it (I’m banned apparently) but Dave may be able to check.

The thermostat has a phial on it, if that gets damaged or kinked in any way, the thermostat is rendered utterly useless.
Explained here:

So long as you can isolate the machines and get them out without dismantling stuff it should be fine and, the side benefit is that if you ever need to replace a machine life is easy.

A number of them, if they fail, shut the gas to the ovens off but leave the hob okay, a separate thing normally reliant on thermocouples only for safety. Whereas the oven will often have the FFD/FSD and a thermocouple.
If it were the thermocouple, it’d light then go out just like a hob.
The FFD is about the only thing that can chop the gas supply to the oven yet leave the hob working, hence my educated guess that was the likely culprit.
If it were the clock, the oven’d be electrically dead, no light etc., fan if fitted. But I don’t think you can get a gas oven to operate on a timed thing, safety I reckon as I’ve not seen one that could self-ignite.
I hope that makes sense and I’m explaining my thinking well enough.
I’d need the full serial number to try to check it, but all that old GDHA stuff is a nightmare to find info on, if you can, as their old parts lookup system blew up or something.

I’d agree, looking at the plumbing I’d be pretty darned sure it was backfilling from the waste, especially if that’s even slightly blocked or draining slowly for some reason.
K.
It sounds like a flame failure device fault and, if you could get one for it which is iffy at best given the age, I’d not advise a repair given the age and costs involved. Because, most FFDs are North of £80, many over £100 and require a Gas Safe repairer to replace them so, you’re the best part of £200 and that much on a cooker that old… it ain’t worth it.
