Hob inspection/service checks?

[macka09]

hi chaps. On a yearly service/safety check for hob what is it you’re looking for?
Flame picture
Burner pressure
Fsd check
Clearances
Any thing else?

 

[Scott_D]

Ventilation
Supply pipe suitable
Signs of heat damage

 

[AMGasServices]

F fluing
A air ventilation
G gas (including fittings and rate)
S safety devices

There was a technical bulletin about volume of area it can be installed in.

And hope the vent doesn’t lead into a conservatory.

 

[macka09]

Are you guys saying they have to have an extraction hood now?

 

[macka09]

How are you all checking an fsd on a hob? Shut the lid if there is one and shut the gas off and wait for the click? I’m unsure what the protocol is with a hob with no fsd? I hate gas haha.

 

[Scott_D]

Low flame and blow it out.

 

[Darren Jackson]

As above ****, and also make sure there is an isolation valve fitted and with all the burners on full light then quickly turn one down to check it does not go out on the low/simmer setting when the boiler and other appliances are running at max rate. check each burner like this one at a time.

Just had a failed FSB on an Ikea 4 burner hob today. This was being inspected for a CP12.
GS technical said this was classified as ID.
Everyone agree?

 

[Scott_D]

Failed safety device then yes ID

 

[Jerry]

Failed safety device then yes ID

I just cant get my head around the fact that it has failed into a safe position and is therefore not dangerous. Buuuuut because its a safety device and its failed, its ID .

 

[Steve weightman]

Would you say if it won't light because of the thermocouple it's ID as its the fsd

 

[Riley]

Failed safety device ID

 

[Steve weightman]

I agree but if it won't light anyway how can it be considered to be dangerous. If after 60 seconds the valve won't shut down then I'm sure it definitely is

Without getting the book out to check the wording, it may read that way. But what nonsense. Assuming the FSd is manual and not repetitive, so no continual attempt at lighting, I would not have asked. I would have noted OOA and moved on. If a boiler solenoid fails, and have to order parts, we don’t go through the ID process.
