Marine gas cooker repair?

[neilmcc]

I have a SMEV cooker in need of repair.
Can anyone recommend someone in Central Scotland/West Coast or, at a push Cumbria?

Try http://www.heatwave.org.uk in Largs.

A lot of parts are common to domestic gas cookers, certainly if the stove is post 2000 year. It is worth checking if replacement of a faulty part is possible using on line sources which can be quite low cost compared to repair e.g. http://www.espares.co.uk/browse/at1092/cookers-and-hobs

Hi Neilmcc,

Smev are a part of the Dometic group, and can be found here: http://www.dometic.com/enuk/Europe/United-Kingdom/Marine-Equipment/Galley-Appliances/

You will find them from most main caravan dealers & caravan spares companies too.

Here's a couple of my trade suppliers, but they also supply to the pubic too:

Possibly a bit North for you - but Mike Brown Marine Services in Oban -GAS SAFE registered gas engineer.

No connection other than knowing he has a good reputation in the area.

This being Practical Boat Owner, what is wrong with it?

 

[neilmcc]

One of the controls is jammed and the burners will no longer stay lit.
I could have asked for practical help but the list of jobs to do (not all boat related) is out-stripping the time I have this winter.

I have spoken to a caravan shop and they gave me the details of someone fairly local who has the relevant experience and certificates.

I'll report back once I've seen him.

Not staying lit is likely to be the flame failure devices & these are readily available & easy to change. Jammed controls may be a build up of hard grease, try just soaking in petrol overnight.
