Safety Precautions before Troubleshooting
Before you start troubleshooting your Beko gas cooker, it’s essential to take some safety precautions to prevent any accidents or injuries. Here are some safety precautions that you should follow:

Troubleshooting the Gas Supply
1. Check the gas supply valve to make sure it is turned on.
2. Check the gas hose for any cracks or damages. If you see any damages, replace the hose.
3. Check the gas regulator to make sure it is working correctly.
4. If you have recently installed a new gas cylinder, make sure it is connected correctly.
If you have checked all these things and your Beko gas cooker is still not working, it’s time to move on to the next troubleshooting step.
Troubleshooting the Ignition System
The ignition system is responsible for lighting the gas burners and the oven. If the ignition system is not working correctly, your Beko gas cooker will not work. Here are some steps to follow:
1. Check the spark electrode to make sure it is clean and free of any debris. If it is dirty, clean it using a soft brush.
2. Check the spark module to make sure it is working correctly. You can test this by turning on the gas burner and listening for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the clicking sound, the spark module may be faulty and need to be replaced.
3. Check the wiring connections to the spark module. If they are loose or damaged, they may need to be replaced or tightened.
If you have checked all these things and your Beko gas cooker is still not working, it’s time to move on to the next troubleshooting step.
Troubleshooting the Oven Temperature
If the oven temperature is not accurate, your food may not cook correctly. Here are some steps to follow:
1. Check the oven thermostat to make sure it is working correctly. You can test this by using an oven thermometer. Place the thermometer in the oven and turn on the heat. After a few minutes, check the thermometer reading. If it is not accurate, the thermostat may need to be replaced.
2. Check the oven door gasket to make sure it is sealing correctly. If it is not sealing correctly, the oven may lose heat and not reach the desired temperature.
3. Check the oven fan to make sure it is working correctly. If the fan isn’t working, the heat may not be distributed evenly in the oven.
If you have checked all these things and your Beko gas cooker is still not working, it’s time to move on to the next troubleshooting step.
Troubleshooting the Gas Burners
If the gas burners are not lighting up correctly, your Beko gas cooker may not work correctly. Here are some steps to follow:
1. Check the gas burner caps to make sure they are clean and free of any debris. If they are dirty, clean them using a soft brush.
2. Check the gas burner ports to make sure they are not clogged. You can use a pin to clear any clogs.
3. Check the gas valve to make sure it is working correctly. You can test this by turning on the gas burner and listening for the gas flow. If there is no gas flow, the gas valve may need to be replaced.
