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.

You may have used LP appliances in homes and Rv's for years, but this particular model does NOT operate like the previous LP appliances you have had. THAT is why I attempted to explain the operation of this Dometic range. There are thousands of these Dometic Ranges out there and they rarely fail. The fact your dealer replaced the Range, the LP tank and the regulator just shows that dealer had NO CLUE what to do to fix a problem. I am NOT going to give you more info until you post the MODEL of the range. Doug
