1997 model does not use a thermocouple, it uses a mercury safety valve, but no safety on the pilot, so it is working as designed.
AS Chris stated. The OLDER units did not have a safety control just for the pilot. The gas flows to the pilot once you put the oven knob in the pilot position. The newer Ovens DO have a safety thermocoupler for the pilot light. Doug
About what year did they change?
I believe it was around 2006 - I have a Suburban 2007 bulletin outlining the lack of availability for mercury containing parts (for motor vehicles).
