Jammed knob on Gaggenau cooktop

Display cleaning protection

If you wipe over the control panel while the hob is switched on, settings may be changed. To avoid this, the hob has a function you can use to lock the control panel for cleaning. To activate: Remove the twist knob. An audible signal sounds. The ? indicator and the hob settings flash. The control panel is locked for 10 minutes. You can now wipe over the surface of the control panel without altering the settings.

To deactivate: Put the twist knob back on within 10 minutes. The control panel is unlocked. To end the function early, put the twist knob back on before the 10 minutes have elapsed.

Hello.
What the problem is a part in the cooktop that opens to let gas flow to the knobs as soon as they are turned on is bad and no gas coming to surface unit burners. This a safety feature that the German goverment(where Gaggenau is made) requires that part to prevent a gas leak when cooktop is off.

It is a saftey lock. Hold down the power button until it goes off (about 5 seconds)

Here are the diagrams, parts list, and sales of the parts. Specific to Gaggenau VG353. Additional site to order parts: Essentials For Your Home website, just put in the part number from the diagram.

Hello,

Just to be clear, non of the 4 burner controls/knobs will turn ? You are familiar with this unit are you ?

Typically you must push down and turn to activate them.

Let me know if that is not the solution.

Good Luck :)

Lift the top of the Stove up.
Look for a Small line that goes to the Affected Burner.
At the end of that Line you will see a small Flathead Screw.
Turning That screw Clockwise Adjusts your Pilot Light for that Burner.
Be careful not to Adjust to High, it would just be a Waist of gas.

hope that helped.

Spark switch at the valve needs to be checked/replaced.

The heat has caused it to be stiff. Just apply steady pressure and it will lift off. Gaggenau is real good about making sure that if a part is screwed down that you can find the screw.

Sounds like the spill got into one of the burner switches. This is not a big problem. Once it drys out it should return to normal. However if it keeps on clicking it could mean that one of the switches shorted out and will need to be replaced. The switches are located under the burner control knobs on the valve. Hope this helps.
