AUSSIE- Repair Tech. :

If there is adequate supply of gas, after the regulator, but none of the gas plates will light, then there will be a blockage in the system/gas line between the regulator and the cook top, more than likely. Hard to say for sure without looking, but that's what I'm thinking.

Customer :

it has been working fine and was apparently left on low heat with the flame out when found, not sue about blockage, any other thoughts is there a shut off or reset ?

AUSSIE- Repair Tech. :

Other than the mains gas, check the gas line feeding into the cook top. If there is a valve fitted, you will see it as it joins up to the pipe that feeds the cook top. None of the plates will light>?

Customer :

no plates are lighting i have had it apart and i think that it maybe an electric valve ?I cannot blow air through the pipe whilst the vavle is turned open

AUSSIE- Repair Tech. :

You can try switching it off at the power box(oven/cook top)and see if it resets the unit, it cant hurt. Maybe wait ten mins or so, before turning the power back on.

Customer :

OK shall do thanks - next will be a warranty call
