Looking for help in figuring out why my Oven don't work?
Everything in my TC works great except for the Oven & I'm looking for some basic help on what to look for in figuring out why it may not be working? I know nothing about Ovens..

I used to think the Pilot always had a ThermoCouple. Not sure about that anymore.
Also, the control valves work differently. Ours, for example, has a Pilot position that you turn it to and then go through the "BBQ Lighter Drill" to get it lit. NO Pushing In on the Knob. But I've had the Pilot Flame go Out and the LPG continued to flow through that tiny orifice. It lit just as soon as the lighter flame got close to it.
When ours goes to actually light the Burner, the Pilot Flame flares to a bigger flame. Somebody here suggested setting the Control to a Baking Temperature. On ours, that provides a greater LPG flow right away. The Pilot lights more easily, and burns with the bigger flame. Then I turn it back to Pilot and it stays lit. Except for that Once that it went Out...
I believe that standards are being developed for RV Ranges to include Flame Sensors on the stovetop burners. That would mean that if the Knob was ON and the Burner blew out, never lit, etc. the LPG would shortly be shut off automatically. Changes to Ovens may come with this.
