Turning on forever does not turn on is a common case in the process of using gas stoves. However, it does not always stem from running out of gas.
Gas stoves are one of the most common appliances found in the kitchens of many families. The principle of operation of the gas stove is that when the stove is turned on, gas from the gas pipeline will be brought to the stove’s nozzles under the fire divider. At the same time, the piezoelectric ceramic element or an electronic circuit will generate a spark, catch the gas stream, ignite the gas, and the flame will be evenly distributed by the nozzles.
During use, sometimes users will encounter the situation that the gas stove will not turn on forever. At this point, the most likely cause is that the gas tank is empty. However, according to kitchen experts, the fact that the gas stove does not fire comes from many other reasons. Having a common practice in many families is one of them. Is forget to clean the nozzles, holes of the gas stove burner.
Turning on the gas stove but the stove does not turn on can come from many other reasons, not only due to running out of gas. (Illustration)
Also according to Ginnos, a kitchen supply center in the US, with 50 years of experience in the industry, not cleaning the nozzles and holes of the gas stove burner can also lead to other problems, like small flame and weak when operating.
Usually when the stove is turned on, there will be a “click” sound along with the smell of gas escaping. If you hear only noise but no gas smell, or vice versa, check and clean the burners immediately. The cleaning method is shown as follows:
– First, need to turn off the stove and lock the gas, then, remove the grill and burner cover, soak them in the sink with a little soap and hot water.
– Then scrub the gas stove surfaces with a stiff brush and then wipe clean with a damp sponge.
– With small sized burners, use a cotton swab to penetrate deep, removing residue from food, grease or other debris.

A few other reasons
If after cleaning the nozzles, the burner that your gas stove turns on still does not light up, please refer to some other reasons such as not unlocking the gas valve, running out of gas stove batteries or gas pipes with air from outside.
Many families often have the habit of locking the gas valve when not in use. This is an operation recommended by many dealers as well as repair units to ensure safety, limit fire and explosion as well as waste gas. So make sure that when you want to use it, you have opened the gas cylinder valve, so that the stove can be started.
The IC ignition system available in a gas stove consists of a semiconductor circuit, using battery or electricity to generate sparks, catching the gas stove burner to create a flame. Therefore, the battery is considered an important part of this system. Therefore, if the stove does not turn on forever, it may be because the old battery is dead, needs to replace the new battery, or install the battery terminals incorrectly, or the battery contacts are dirty.
The battery is an important part that can also decide whether to turn on the gas stove or not. (Illustration)
Each gas stove has its own battery compartment, located on the lower body of the stove. Users just need to find the right location, open it and check. If the battery is misplaced at the contacts, re-adjust; if the contact points are being adhered to by a lot of dirt, disrupting the exchange process between the battery and the gas stove, they should be disassembled and gently cleaned with a dry cloth; If the battery runs out, just use a new battery and replace it.
According to the website of Petrolimex, the phenomenon of gas pipes with air occurs mainly when the gas enters the pipe, but does not escape, but accumulates. Over time, it will interfere with the process of leading gas to the stove, from which the stove cannot fire or slow down. When gas stoves encounter this phenomenon, Petrolimex advises, it is possible to perform a continuous ignition operation from 3-5 times to push out all the excess gas in the gas pipe.
