One burner will not light, the others do
That burner's electrode or jet is the problem, not the whole stove. Usually a soiled electrode or a blocked jet — a same-visit fix.
This page covers stoves and cooktops — the hob on its own, whether it is a portable two-burner unit, a built-in four or five burner hob, or a countertop stove. If your appliance is a full cooker with an oven underneath, our gas cooker repair page is the right one. Naveed Electronics has serviced both across Dubai since 1996.
Find your symptom below. Each one tells you the usual cause, so you know roughly what you are dealing with before you call.
That burner's electrode or jet is the problem, not the whole stove. Usually a soiled electrode or a blocked jet — a same-visit fix.
The ignition module or its power supply has failed. On built-in hobs this is often a loose connection behind the unit.
Gas pressure is too high for the jet fitted, or the burner cap is seated wrongly. Worth correcting: it wastes gas and scorches pans.
Blocked jets from boil-over residue, or a partially closed isolator. In cylinder kitchens, sometimes a regulator on its way out.
Moisture in the switch after cleaning, or a failed burner switch. Common after someone has washed the hob with too much water.
Perished flexible hose or a loose union. Turn off the supply and call — do not use the stove until it has been checked.
Everything below is handled in-house by our own technicians, never subcontracted out.
People use the words interchangeably, but the repairs differ. A stove or hob is the burner surface alone, so faults are almost always ignition, jets, taps or gas supply. A cooker adds an oven, which brings thermostats, oven burners, door seals and fan systems into play. Telling us which you have when you call means we bring the right parts first time.
Ceramic and toughened-glass gas hobs are common in newer Dubai apartments. They crack from thermal shock and from over-tightening pan supports, and once cracked the whole top usually needs replacing. When we service one we clean around the burner seals properly and reseat the caps, because a badly seated cap concentrates heat in one spot on the glass.
Many Dubai apartments still run a cylinder in a ventilated cabinet. Regulators have a service life, and a failing one produces exactly the symptoms people blame on the stove: low flame across all burners, flames that drop when another appliance is used, or inconsistent pressure. We check the regulator and hose before condemning any burner parts.
The most common self-inflicted stove fault we attend is water in the ignition switches after an enthusiastic clean. Hobs should be wiped, not flooded, and the burner caps and crowns must go back in their correct positions — they are not always interchangeable between burner sizes. If a stove has stopped sparking right after a deep clean, dry it out for a day before assuming it is broken.
We do not publish a fixed price list, because quoting a number before seeing the fault would be guesswork. Here is what actually moves the price, so you can judge whether a quote you are given is fair.
For stoves and hobs, an electrode, jet clean, burner cap or knob is the cheap end. An ignition module, gas tap or regulator is mid-range. A replacement glass or ceramic top is the expensive end, and at that point a new hob is often the better buy.
How it works: you get a realistic range on the phone, then a fixed quote after diagnosis. Nothing is opened, ordered or charged until you approve that figure.
A stove or hob is the burner surface only. A cooker is a hob with an oven underneath. The parts and faults differ, so tell us which you have when you call and we will arrive with the right spares.
No. That burner's spark electrode or gas jet is the issue. It is one of the quickest and cheapest repairs we do.
Very likely water in the ignition switches. Leave it completely dry for twenty-four hours before deciding it has failed. If it still will not spark, the module or a switch needs replacing.
A cracked ceramic or toughened-glass top normally has to be replaced rather than repaired, for safety. We can source and fit replacement tops for most common brands, and we will tell you if the cost makes replacing the hob the better option.
We check and replace flexible hoses and regulators as part of stove repair. Cylinder supply itself is handled by your gas supplier, but we will tell you if the regulator is the cause of a weak flame.
We would not recommend it. A yellow flame means incomplete combustion, which sooties pans and produces carbon monoxide. It usually indicates blocked jets and is a straightforward fix.
