Dometic stove, one burner not working

I had the same problem while the RV was under warranty and the dealer replaced the entire stove, propane tank, and propane regulator just about a year ago.. The smaller burner on my two burner propane Dometic stove won't light. It's sparking but not getting any propane. Before it completely wouldn't start, for two days I'd see an on-and-on flame but it wouldn't stay lit. I removed the top two pieces and found a pool of water so cleaned that out. I'm wondering if I just need to clean the jet (with a safety pin? I remember being told to never do that on other propane appliances so I'm hesitant to try that here) or if there's anything else I can try.
  • Take the burner off, scrub it thoroughly, followed with a tooth pick thru all the burner holes. My guess ypu overflowed a pot or there is enough crud covering the holes to prevent a flame. Same thing happens on my stove at home. Easy fix.
  • OK, unless you can find a blockage somewhere I guess you need to get a gas company tech to look at it.

    Have you taken the burner apart and cleaned all the small passages in it? Our home range does the same thing, just clean the burner and it will probably work fine. The burner may not even need a tool to take it apart, mine does not.


    No propane is coming up through the jet, so the burner isn't the problem.
