Hunter Stove, Herald 6 serial number 140185 runs on Natural Gas.
Symptoms - fire reaches full warmth, then cuts out. Also cuts out pilot light.
the pilot light has been running all summer (April 2024 to November) and the fire lit for the first time during cold snap in December approx. Burns well for a few minutes then cuts out. Can relight pilot and repeat but the same thing happens. the Gas engineer told me to contact you to ask whether it needs a new part which he can then fit. Can you help please?

If a Hunter Stove Herald 6 running on natural gas has issues with the fire cutting out and the pilot light extinguishing, the Spillage Monitoring System may need to be checked or replaced. This system is responsible for monitoring and ensuring safe operation. If faulty, it can cause shutdowns.
