Hi,
I have a Diplomat 700G gas cooker with a grill
and an oven. Yesterday I left the grill on full
while I ate what I had cooked. After realising
what I'd done, I turned it off. Now when I turn the
knob for the grill, no gas comes out. Can anyone
suggest what has happened, and how to fix it please?

The knob isn't gripping the steel spigot onto which it's affixed - usually
in a D shape - pull it off and take a look at the back of the knob, you've
probably cracked it where it fits on

Can be even more naff. Somone told me some recent taps actually have plastic
spindles which seems to be a bit dangerous.

We had a similar problem. This was caused by a gradual build up of
burnt fat "spatter" that eventually blocked the gas inlet jet. This
had entered the grill bar via the air hole. It was easily cleaned out
and the grill now works fine.

Thanks for all your replies. Just to complete the tale, a friend of a
friend
in the trade came round, pulled the oven out of the housing, and
lifted up
the flexible metal shield at the top of the oven. On the LHS was a
device
with three wires on, bolted through to the grill compartment. He took
out
his screwdriver and pushed down the button on the top, and the grill
started working again. This is the grill overheating cutout. A few
beer
tokens to him, and my missus is now talking to me again (Maybe that's
the downside?!)

We left grill on and shut it up after cooking and only when we saw smoke coming out realised what we had done and switched it off. Now it has no gas coming through . Any ideas what to do to fix it

Havn't seen a (domestic) gas grill for decades. Might help if you said
what antique it was on.

After it cooled down is there still no gas flow?

Make and Model may assist too.

We have a brand new one on our boat, manufactured by "Thetford".

Not domestic, though.

Well our boat is pretty domestic as we live on it some of the time! :-)

The Thetford ovens (etc.) are aimed at caravans mainly which I would
class as domestic.

Would you not think that in such a case the gas would be cut of for safety?
