Is it one with a fold down lid? If so it may be the lid inhibit device
has got a little sticky and has stuck in the closed position.

But then the grill would probably also stop.
Lids have either:
No interlock (common on low end kit).
Total cut off of the supply gas.
Mechanical interlock to the hob gas taps.
