Why will the burner not light on my Defy Hob?

  Emily BellAug 4, 2025
  If your Defy Hob burner won't light, several factors could be at play. First, make sure the gas pipe isn't twisted, bent, or kinked, and that it's properly fitted. Also, the burner could be dirty or wet, so clean and dry the burner components. If you're using a gas cylinder, check if it's empty and replace it if needed. Ensure the burner cap is correctly fitted. Verify that the gas pressure regulator is open, and finally, confirm that you're following the correct lighting procedure.

  If the flame on your Defy Hob is yellow and your pots and pans are getting stained, it might be because the burner is dirty or wet, so you should clean or dry the burner components. Another reason could be that the gas is running out, so replacing the gas cylinder may be necessary.
