Title: Oven cleaning - dip tank problems
Post by: Neil Harvey on March 23, 2013, 07:53:09 pm: The gas burner keeps turning itself off every 10-15 mins. It is not due to lack of gas as I have just put a new bottle on - any ideas people? It relights fine as well and then goes for another 10 mins or so then goes off again.

Check above first and also make sure the regulator is not "freezing " .

I was thinking on full throttle the reg's ice up with the flow especially if they have any moisture around the diaphragm .
