Clarkkent Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I can't answer your technical question, but if your wife does not like using matches would she be prepared to use a hand held gas lighter? They cost about €3. They are safe and easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman II Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Possible causes gap too big, gap bridged by grease or water, burner cap in wrong position after cleaning or wire disconnected or broken. Compare malfunctioning burner with the others and check wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Not a Scholtes hob but I have the same problem. The little igniter wire sticking out of the ceramic insulator has completely burned away, can't see any way of removing/replacing it so I use matches.This is not a problem for me as I always like playing with fire [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 We've had the same problem with our (inherited) hob since we bought our French house....and I concur with ClarkKent. If you can't fix it, get an igniter. 3 of the 4 rings on ours light automatically, but the other one has never worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
