we just had that on ours - it was the flame failure device, had snapped
between the sensor pipe and the gas control unit, causing it to lose all
its
mercury and therefore not allowing it to release the switch to get the
main
gas flow. Luckilly we found a good Corgi registered repair man who was
able
to locate a spare part - which was pretty difficult as our cooker was
built
in 1985 and they dont do spare parts any more.....The other down side to
this was that to wait for a good LPG gas repair man to even come round and
check what the problem was (cos it could have been something else) took 5
weeks...
