Got a Fisher & Paykel Gas Hob, it lights but won't stay lit, i'm thinking the thermocouple has probably failed, but then again im a desk jockey not a tradie. Looked at a couple of videos online (not of fisher and paykel) but doesn't look too complicated to replace? Or does anything related to mains gas require a qualified technician?

If so do I call Fisher & Paykel? Local Gasfitter?

Where are you located and how old is the hob?

Located in the Waikato (Cambridge to be specific). Can't be certain exactly how old but I suspect around 3 years (was installed not long before we bought the property). Appears to be model number CG604.

It's an inexpensive part and simple job but personally I'd just get a local appliance repairman in.

Yeah i've found the part online looks to be about $15, was more around what I can legally do as a DIY vs what requires a qualified technician.
