why does my oven turn its self off

[vicsteroo]

when i am cooking my oven keeps going off the gas stops coming through and when i use the hob the gas turns itself up and down, any ideas why this is happening?

Could be oven failure. or house gas pipes, or mains supply fluctuations. Have you had a CORGI inspection in last two yrears? If not, get it done asap- or you could wake up dead from asphyxiation, one morning

thanks for the response i had a gas check done about 5 months ago and everything was ok with the gas system, i called the council to ask someone to come out and they refused as they thought it was my cooker at fault and in their opinion could be nothing to do with the gas supply or pipes etc. will phone my gas supplier in the morning see what they say.

Deffo get it checked out.... This could be a regulator problem with you're gas meter if it is, this is very dangerous and Transco are the only people allowed to deal with this problem now-a-days. They will come out and rectify for free. As they have a legal duty to supply gas at a safe opperating pressure of 21mbar at the meter.

i have just phoned transco and they are sending someone out within the hour, thanks to people who replied. will let you know what it is when they have been.
