VANETTE GAS OVEN

[Firstborn]

Hi,

 

Seem to have a small intermittent leak in our Vanette Oven. Only seems to happen every now & then – it’s like the knob of the oven is getting stuck, but doesn’t seem stuck – weird. Anybody had a similar problem? – don’t really want to buy a new oven if the old one can be fixed.

Get in a Gas Safe registered person who specialises in boats to check it over. End of story.

Amen to that .... but just out of interest, is it when the gas bottle is about to run out?

I have just repaired one of these as some one who didn't know you have to push to turn broke it

You can dismantle them but the thermocouple activator is not obvious.

I priced a new valve at £180+ - a new oven is about £220.

And if you get really stuck I have a spare one cluttering up my garage - yours for £50 if you collect!

Could be a plan but Firstborn must be first in line?

The gas taps need dismantling and re-greasing. A basic job for any competent gas bod.

Thank you for all your comments. Thank you also for the offer of a vanette oven - to far to travel. I will attempt to re-grease the taps.

 

Regards.

Graphite gas tap grease, NOT stern grease!

Indeed, I should have said so.

 

Like all things gassy, it isn't cheap but it's important to use the right stuff.
