Bertazzoni oven/range burner ignites but goes out when the knob is released
This is a common issue with Bertazzoni ovens and ranges. The most likely cause is a faulty flame failure device (FFD). The FFD is a safety feature that automatically shuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame goes out. If the FFD is faulty, it may not detect the flame and will shut off the gas supply when the knob is released.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can follow these steps:
- Check the gas supply. Make sure that the gas supply to the oven or range is turned on and that the pressure is correct.
- Check the FFD. The FFD is located near the burner. You can check it by turning on the burner and then releasing the knob. If the flame goes out, the FFD is working properly. If the flame stays on, the FFD may be faulty.
- Check the igniter. The igniter is responsible for igniting the burner. You can check it by turning on the burner and then listening for a clicking sound. If you hear a clicking sound, the igniter is working properly. If you do not hear a clicking sound, the igniter may be faulty.
If you have checked all of these things and the burner is still going out when the knob is released, you will need to contact a qualified technician.
