Today (well, last night) I fixed my oven (Wedgewood Vision)! The previous owner had told me it had never worked since she owned it (they did no cooking in the RV kitchen so it didn't matter to them), but I've got a trip planned over thanksgiving and I'm gonna need to bake! :B
The pilot would light, but die as soon as I released the knob or turned it to any temperature position. Some interneting said the likely problem was the thermocouple, however I read two different folks say that stuffing some foil into the knob solved this problem for them.
Looking at my oven, it did appear that the knob bottomed out on the faceplate when pushed, so I figured why not give it a shot? I stuffed some tape in the knob hole (?) and the oven fired up first try!
woot, I love the internets.
