Thanks, this is useful for everyone that is facing the same problem, I have also the same problem I called the technician and he came to my home and he said will charge 150AED I said no. I will change it on my own.
Don't know how to.....can do! love it. I needed to know how to get the hob off to sort the vibrating that occurs when the cooling fan starts. Very helpful indeed.
Saw “ @user” comment below who cleaned the thermocouple sensor with sandpaper! My thermocouple on same Smeg cooker and burner was discoloured with a film of blackened carbon deposit so I sprayed some “car engine carb cleaner” onto a small piece of green woven kitchen scourer (wearing nutrile gloves) and cleaned the thermocouple and tip until clean. It now works fine and lights immediately! Not sure how long this will last until I have to order the part and get it fitted as shown in the video.
had the same problem, fixed it by cleaning the tip of the thermocouple with some fine sand paper until it was shining like new and just worked perfectly. there isn't much "stuff" to break in a thermocouple, so most of the cases this issue happens is just because of carbon build-up on that tip. for anyone else with the same issue, just try sanding it down first until bright and shiny :)
Folks : before u replacing the thermacouple try getting a small grit sandpapper and cleaning the probe part of thermacouple. Even if ut doeant look dirty cabon builduo in enough to keeo it from wirking correctly. Fixed 2 of my gas rings this way
Well done mate. Good effort whilst holding the camera. Got to sort mine out now, I will post some videos of the oven element, now gone after a year replacement OG part!
@@techmansa Short story no. See synopsis (1) and next steps (2): 1) I had to change a few things, one of which was the selector switch which had blown and the other was thermal coupler. In the process I also replaced the ignition element, after which still no success. 2) After careful inspection I believe the thermal coupler sat slightly lower then the others on the hob. In short even though this was OEM I suspect they changed the part during at somepoint. I'm going to order a generic replacement and see if that makes any difference. I have a 100cm dual fuel oven so the effort is a lot but will post some footage of the process if you're interested. If you follow on techworkshop1 on TH-cam and Instagram I'll get it up in the next few weeks.
nice to see these things fixed as opposed to dumped... I have a smeg victoria range and one oven gets hot without turning the temp on, so i assume I've got to strip the whole thing down like you did to get access to the back of the knob and change the thermostat... wish me luck!
I will never buy another SMEG anything in Ireland. There are no technicians to carry out repairs if you run into any kind of problems. A disappointing aspect of their after service, considering the cost of their appliances. Will be buying more mainstream brands in future where technicians are plentiful.

Greetings from Istanbul. I am a furnace repair and maintenance master. You are very successful in the repair business.
Thanks, this is useful for everyone that is facing the same problem, I have also the same problem I called the technician and he came to my home and he said will charge 150AED I said no. I will change it on my own.
Thanks this is really useful! Look forward to more content!
Same Smeg model and same issue, will try cleaning thermocouple first and then order the part and follow your excellent video.

Glad to hear it Dylan!

Any particular sand paper to use?
@@abhishekdatta8800 nothing particular, mine was p240 don't need finer than that. just don't use coarse ones
@@user-qz6ix7od3b alright...thanks!
This sounds worth a try first! Cheers!
Thanks for your video!🥰

Good luck Dec!
You're good bruh
Is there any sealing compound recommended when you crack open the pipe work? To re seal the nut?
Should have took the back panel off. The thermostat is located there. Thanks for showing where all the screws are. 😂
Have you replaced the cup gaskets every time the hob is opened
Nice
managed to snap the little clips on the front, there goes £15 :D lesson to be learnt there
Oops!
Is it the same solution for if it says the click sound but it doesn't turn on the flame.
Can’t the tips just be cleaned instead?
cant believe there's a large company named "SMEG". wtf?
