Don't panic right away, here's an easy trick to fix a gas stove that's hard to light using just 1 simple tool.

It turns out that this problem can be solved by yourself with just one simple tool.

Brilio.net - Gas stoves that are used every day can certainly experience problems over time. One of the obstacles that often occurs is a fire that is difficult to light, even though the gas is still full.

This condition can be very annoying, especially when you are in a hurry to cook. Some people usually use a lighter as an emergency solution, but this can be risky if the gas has already come out in large quantities.

But don't panic right away. Before calling a repairman, it's a good idea to check the stove igniter first. Most likely the problem is not with the gas cylinder, but with the igniter or a clogged gas line hole.

This problem can be solved by yourself with just one simple tool, namely a broom stick. This method is more practical than having to replace components or do expensive servicing.

In a YouTube video by IDE KREATIF, it is shown how to fix a gas stove that is difficult to light with a broom stick. This simple tool is used to clean the gas line hole and fix the position of the igniter.

"Now, for this lighter we slide it towards the hose that leads to the gas line. We direct it so that it is straighter," he explained.

In addition, the gas hole also needs to be cleaned to ensure the gas flow remains smooth. Clogging dirt can make it difficult for the fire to ignite or even not come out at all.

First, remove the burner and lift the igniter component. Then, use a broom stick to clean the gas outlet hole by poking it into the hole.

"We clean it like this, tap it a little so the dirt comes out," he continued.

Once it is clean, reinstall the igniter and move it slightly so that it is more aligned with the gas line. Once the repair is complete, try turning the stove back on, and usually the flame will light normally as before.

Gas stoves need to be maintained regularly to keep them functioning properly and not easily damaged. Cleaning the igniter and gas holes at least once a week can prevent dirt from building up and making it difficult to light the fire.

Keeping the stove clean also helps extend its life and avoids stubborn stains or crusts that are difficult to clean. Avoid spilling oil or food on the lighter as it can interfere with its function.

If the stove is used frequently, occasionally do a thorough check to make sure all parts are still functioning properly. With this simple maintenance, the gas stove can remain durable and work optimally at all times.
