Low Gas Ring Flame

[wildebus]

Now ignoring the mucky cooker top (not cleaned that yet), what is the recommended method for getting the flame back to full output on the lower left ring?
All three rings are set to maximum. The lower left is the small ring, but I assume it is just physically smaller and the actual flame should be on a par with the other two (I don't know for sure as it has been like this since I owned the Motorhome)

My cooker seems to be the same Thetford model. All the rings burn to the same height and pressure, however I can't advise on sorting the issue.

l posted this last month, David. Unscrew the 2 torx screws and lift off the black cover to expoese the burners. You will probably see an accumulation of soot, mixed with dust particles given how the wind at your place blows in swirls! A twist of kitchen roll to sweep the particles clear of the burner, and a flip of the black cover to clean the underside and an ear bud to remove small particles that are too close to the thermocouple, then reassemble carefully. All should be back to normal ...

I undid the screws last time we were away. I was a bit worried that they would be rusted in, but they're stainless on our Stoves cooker and came out easily, cleaned all the debris out and were all fine afterwards.

I think Thetford bought Stoves.

Thanks. It is helpful to know that the rings should all the same flame height. At least I know what to aim for

My Cooker does look very similar but there are some subtle differences. The igniter is a different switch, and ... and this would be handy if I ever used the electric hotplate ... I have a 'on' light next to the hot plate control

Just as an FYI ...mine is a 'Spinflo' Caprice Mk II ('Spinflo' sounds more like a washing machine to me ), but it is so similar to Davys it must be basically the same cooker, just an older or newer revision.
Might be useful to know this if looking for spare parts? (I replaced all the knobs on mine a few years ago as the plastic parts that push on had all gone brittle and cracked)

I'll give it a go shortly with some cleaning stuff and a Q-Tip to hand as well

Thetford bought Spinflo too David.

Well .... Took the black cap and the burner whatsit off. all looked ok. Had soot on the edge in the small burner cavity, but also had same (actually more) in one of the big burners. Cleaned soot (actually just used a vacuum cleaner); Wiped the top of the gas output with a q-tip dipped in thinners and reassembled ...
Bit of a difference there now I thought I may as well do them all while there

What I did with gas ring not burning correctly as yours, I used oxy-acetylene cleaning nozzles, which did the trick. Goes without saying, lots of ventilation required, as best to have the problem burner gas flowing at max while cleaning, gas flowing pushed out debris during cleaning. process.
