Gas hob not sparking

If your gas hob is not igniting, there are a few simple actions you can carry out safely at home to resolve the issue. Simply follow our guide below.

If food remnants or dirt is located between the ignition plug and the burner, your hob will not ignite. Ensure that the area is clean and dry before igniting.

After cleaning the hob, it’s important to return all burner parts to their correct position as this will likely interfere

with the ignition of the hob. Even if you have not just cleaned the hob, double check that every part is in its

position before attempting to ignite the hob again. If you need help, you can always refer to your instruction manual where you will find the details of how to assemble the burner correctly

If your hob is not sparking at all, and you are not hearing the usual ticking sounds, it could be because the power is out. Check the fuse box for any trips that could have occurred.

If the issue persists, we advise against attempting repairs yourself. Instead, book a repair with one of our highly trained and qualified Bosch engineers.
