You don't give the model number, but, the only Dometic 2 burner range I have worked on is a B Van install or small Trailer installed range. THAT model, the burner VALVE assbly controls all functions. You push it in and turn to open the valve to allow LP to flow. At the same time, (depending on model), you push the electronic ignitor button to light the LP or it has the Auto Ignitor switch built in to the Valve that starts the Ignitor. Once the flame is present you hold the valve in for about 10 seconds and the Thermocoupler then keeps the valve open and you let the knob spring back and the flame stays on. All this said, odds are the VALVE is bad, not the orifice. Orifice's rarely get debris or clog. You have to pull the complete range to really work on them. They are not designed to work while mounted in the countertop. There are only 4 tabs that hold the range to the counter top. Doug
I know extremely well how my stove works (not quite as you describe) and have used multiple propane stoves in homes and RVs for decades. Never any problems except this one burner. As I said, the dealer had replaced the entire stove as well as propane tank and regulator a year ago so I'm fearing it's a design issue, not something I can deal with.
Can you please elaborate more on the valve, such as what it looks like and where I found it--sounds like under the stovetop, i.e., after it's raised up.
