Did a safety check on an oven yesterday and found that when you turn the oven on it immediately lets through a lot of gas or a small amount according to what number the dial is on
I.E on 1 the flame will light fairly small but on 9 it will come up to max flame without starting off small.
The size of the flame regulates according to temprature setting so I think the oven thermostat is ok.
I assumed it was a fault with the FFD so I ID'd it and said they need a new one.
Parts stockists came back to me saying it was not an FFD its an oven thermocouple. If thats the case it is probably working correctly. Can anyone confirm for sure that with a thermocouple it should not start at min flame?
Thanks alot
