Failed Neff/Bosch cooker hob ignition switch unit

[Nolly53]

The photo shows a cooker hob ignition switch unit from a Neff/Bosch hob. One of the switches has failed. The issue was caused I think by ingress of liquid. I have dried the unit as well as I can. A replacement unit costs over £40. Has anyone ever opened one of these to repair it? I am reluctant to buy a replacement if it is possible to fix it. A quick check with a multimeter shows that this is likely to work by change of capacitance rather than conducting as a normal switch.

i would not entertain the thought of repairing anything i could buy of the shelf for under £100

You'll never have opened one of these then!
You have the money - I have the time!

That's what we have in my house. I'm not disassembling a gas hob and buying expensive replacement parts when there's a cheap work around.

Thanks everyone. Job done and saved £40 or £2.90 depending on how you look at it.
