Urgent advice needed please - as in right now...
Gas hob has just started sparking uncontrollably - how the fek do I stop it? Mrs was cleaning the hob and must be due to some cleaning fluid getting in the electrical point somewhere? Gas is off obviously but 2 of the 4 rings are sparking. Oven electric points are all switched off and its still sparking!
Any ideas before the sparks catch something else and burn the house down

Sorted it. Pulled the push button off the hob and disconnected the contact points. Looks like the cleaning fluid got under the button and into the connector block and was shorting it out so the button was acting as though it was being permanently pressed. Just waiting for the sparks to stop, gone from 2 or 3 a second to 1 every 30 seconds so far and getting further apart. Just need to clean up/dry the contact block.

I always clean the cooker - it requires strong chemicals that burn your eyeballs out at 100 yards, so it is a mans job

the only thing we are designed to clean up is the mess women make
