On previous threads to do with this, it has been said that the yellow button on the side of the regulator could be a reset button. The button on my regulator will not press in at all. It's solid.
All I did was to swap bottles and the gas stopped coming through to the burners.
 
1. Is the bottle full.
2.have you turned it on at the bottle.
3 have you turned it on in the kitchen.
4 Never found the yellow button do anything.
 
After doing all of the obvious tests (above), odds on it will be the regulator that will need replacing. It used to be possible to buy a kit including regulator, hose connectors etc.

What is the outside temperature?
If your new bottle has been stored outside until now , with the present temperatures then that could be the cause. Needs to be at least 5c to work effectively.
As long as the new bottle has gas in it, weights on side of bottle, leave in the house overnight and try tomorrow.

The button pops out if activated.

It first stopped working whilst it was very mild.
What is the yellow button then?

It is the High Pressure Release Valve, to protect consumer appliances.

From the GOK manual.

Has anyone changed the gas regulator themselves or do I need a qualified person to do that?
My gas bottle isn’t empty but the hob has gone from a very low flame to nothing. I checked everything is connected correctly and switched where needed but the flame has gradually decreased to nothing. I’m thinking that maybe the hose and regulator might need changing.
 
Changing the regulator is easy. Unscrew the coupling and swap them. Check for gas leak using soapy water or use a detection spray.
The hose can be a bit of a 'thing'. There should be a replacement date on the hose. If it is not out of date and without kinks or cracks it should be ok to use. The thread on the hose is a bit special so if you need to replace it i would stick to buying a complete new set made for a cali.

Thank you so much for your helpful reply. The hose is out of date so I’ll buy a complete set. Do you know where I can buy it? Thank you.

sorry no UK shops, i am from Holland. The regulator is nothing special, i found it in diferent campervan shops, but the hose is something special. I could only find it at poptopshop.nl, but we have limited options because we do not use paypall.
Nothing in the clubshop?
