Stove caravan cooker

We have found the nobs on the cooker turned on and my other half blamed me and I blamed him and we both blamed the dog. Now this got serious when we left the caravan to do some shopping and came back to a strong smell of gas and the grill turned half on. We were very lucky because we where on a site without electrics and the fridge was on, it could easily have all gone bang. The nobs on the front of the cooker turn very easily and do not always return to the out position. My husband took the nobs off and the metal shank that goes down the centre and gave everything a good clean but thinks that the small spring that is inside behind the metal shank has lost the temper and we need new ones. We can not get these springs,they are like the ones in a biro pen but Stoves say we will have to buy new fittings at £25 each and have a corgi man to fit them. You could be talking over £200. Anyone have any ideas
 
Margaret, the control knobs are not simply attached to a simple on/off mechanism, it is a very critical Gas Valve and individual parts are not available, only as a complete unit.

It would be very very foolish to even think about tampering with them.

As for having them fitted, any dealer service centre would be able to fit them, or a mobile caravan engineer could do it.

As for CORGI, the fitter would have to be qualified to work on LPG as well as the basic CORGI registration as that only applies to domestic gas installations.

You where right to blame the dog as we have a dog and she as turned ower cooker on at home. while we were out got back so funy smell in kinchen.

We were luck as we have eltrick and we had only been out for ten mins. Now we turen the power off ot the cooker.

Margaret, why not have an isolator fitted in the feed to the cooker so that when you are not using it then the gas will be shut off? It would be much cheaper than
