Below are nine illustrative repair cases representing typical gas stove service scenarios across Ghaziabad neighborhoods, detailing problems found, parts inspected, and work carried out:
2-Burner Stainless Steel Stove — Illustrative Case from Vasundhara
Customer's issue: Smaller tea burner flame had reduced to a tiny flicker and took 20 minutes to boil water.
Inspection: Boiled-over buffalo milk had seeped through burner holes, baking into thick carbon inside the brass jet orifice.
Parts checked: Brass burner ring, jet nozzle orifice, mixing tube air shutter, and rubber hose.
Repair: Cleared carbon crust from the brass cap slots, reamed the brass jet nozzle orifice, and adjusted air shutter.
Estimated cost: Part cost: Nil | Labour charges: ₹300 | Total: ₹300
Final check: Both burners ignited instantly and produced steady, high-heat blue flames with zero yellow tipping.
3-Burner Glass-Top Stove — Illustrative Case from Indirapuram
Customer's issue: Center jumbo burner produced yellow smoky fire that blackened cookware bottoms; knob was very stiff.
Inspection: Venturi mixing tube was clogged with cooking oil grease, starving the burner of air; valve spindle grease was dried.
Parts checked: Mixing tube, brass valve spindle, burner crown, and glass top rubber grommets.
Repair: Cleaned mixing tube interior, regreased brass gas cock with high-temp silicone grease, and tuned air shutter.
Estimated cost: Part cost: Nil | Labour charges: ₹350 | Total: ₹350
Final check: Knob rotated smoothly with zero stiffness and jumbo burner delivered clean blue heat with zero soot.
4-Burner Glass Cooktop — Illustrative Case from Vaishali
Customer's issue: Front-right burner was releasing raw gas smell and flame was lifting off the burner base.
Inspection: Brass burner cap had warped from continuous use of an oversized iron tawa, creating an uneven gap.
Parts checked: Burner cap flatness, burner bowl seat, gas manifold joints, and hose connection.
Repair: Replaced warped burner cap with a compatible forged brass ring and reseated the burner bowl firmly.
Estimated cost: Part cost: ₹350 | Labour charges: ₹250 | Total: ₹600
Final check: Performed soap bubble test on manifold (zero bubbles); burner lit evenly with quiet, stable flame.
Stainless Steel Classic Stove — Illustrative Case from Raj Nagar
Customer's issue: Pungent LPG odor lingered under the kitchen counter whenever the cylinder regulator was left turned on.
Inspection: 5-year-old orange rubber hose had developed fine hairline cracks near the stove inlet nozzle clamp.
Parts checked: Gas inlet nozzle, rubber Suraksha hose, hose clamps, and cylinder regulator adapter.
Repair: Replaced aged hose with a fresh ISI-marked steel-wire braided Suraksha pipe and tightened stainless steel clamps.
Estimated cost: Part cost: ₹350 | Labour charges: ₹200 | Total: ₹550
Final check: Soapy water leak test confirmed zero leakage at both cylinder and stove nozzle unions.
Modern Toughened Glass Stove — Illustrative Case from Crossings Republik
Customer's issue: Glass around burner felt unusually scalding hot; flame made a loud hissing and backfiring rumble.
Inspection: Burner mounting cup was loose, allowing hot combustion gases to recirculate under the glass surface.
Parts checked: Burner cup mounting screws, heat shield plate, mixing tube alignment, and glass buffer pads.
Repair: Replaced stripped mounting screws, aligned venturi tube to center, and fitted heat-resistant buffer washers.
Estimated cost: Part cost: ₹150 | Labour charges: ₹300 | Total: ₹450
Final check: Glass top stayed cool to touch outside burner perimeter; burner operated with quiet, uniform flame.
Manual Ignition 3-Burner Stove — Illustrative Case from Kavi Nagar
Customer's issue: Left medium burner would abruptly blow out with a loud pop whenever set to minimum sim setting.
Inspection: Air shutter was locked wide open, diluting the low-gas flow excessively; sim bypass screw was gummed up.
Parts checked: Gas cock sim bypass port, air shutter collar, brass burner ring, and jet nozzle.
Repair: Cleaned the micro-bypass channel with solvent, adjusted air shutter opening, and retuned minimum flame.
Estimated cost: Part cost: Nil | Labour charges: ₹250 | Total: ₹250
Final check: Burner held a continuous, gentle blue simmer flame even when kitchen windows were breezy.
Piezo Auto Ignition 2-Burner Stove — Illustrative Case from Shalimar Garden
Customer's issue: Rotary auto-ignition knob clicked firmly, but no spark jumped to light the burner.
Inspection: Ceramic insulator on the spark electrode had cracked, causing the high-voltage spark to leak to the stove chassis.
Parts checked: Piezo hammer mechanism, spark electrode wire, ceramic sleeve, and burner spark target pin.
Repair: Installed a new ceramic spark electrode and adjusted the spark gap to exactly 3.5mm from the burner cap.
Estimated cost: Part cost: ₹200 | Labour charges: ₹250 | Total: ₹450
Final check: Both burners sparked sharply and ignited on the very first turn of the knob every single time.
Battery-Operated Pulse Ignition 4-Burner Stove — Illustrative Case from Raj Nagar Extension
Customer's issue: Multi-burner pulse ignition was completely dead; pushing knobs produced zero clicking.
Inspection: Acid leak from an old 1.5V D-battery had heavily corroded the contact springs inside the under-body battery box.
Parts checked: Battery compartment terminals, pulse generator module, and ignition microswitches.
Repair: Cleaned acid residue, fitted fresh terminal spring contacts, inserted a new alkaline battery, and tested circuit.
Estimated cost: Part cost: ₹150 | Labour charges: ₹300 | Total: ₹450
Final check: Rapid continuous sparking restored across all four burner electrodes immediately upon knob depression.
Tabletop Cooktop LPG to PNG Conversion — Illustrative Case from Kaushambi
Customer's issue: Customer shifted from LPG cylinders to IGL pipeline gas; burners produced dangerously low, sputtering flames.
Inspection: Existing LPG injector nozzles had tiny 0.55mm–0.70mm orifices unsuitable for lower-pressure PNG supply.
Parts checked: All three injector nozzles, pipeline ball valve connection, manifold tube, and flame stability.
Repair: Replaced LPG jets with calibrated PNG brass nozzles (1.10mm–1.35mm), enlarged air shutters, and tested pressure.
Estimated cost: Part cost: ₹300 | Labour charges: ₹350 | Total: ₹650
Final check: Soapy leak test verified zero gas escape; all burners produced bright, full-power blue cooking flames.
