Update:
Turned of propane. Lit burner to remove remaining propane from lines (burner lit for less than 30 secoonds). Vacuumed lower oven and upper burner area to remove any residual propane.
Traced lower brass line (pictured in previous post) up to thermostat oven control (see attached pic).
Turned propane back on.....
Checked thermostat oven control using sniffer. It went of immediately when near the control. Used soapy water and very, very small air bubbles are coming from the threads (round silver fitting behind where sniffer is placed - see pic). It appears to be leaking from this fitting's threads.
Why would the threads be leaking? Unless the fitting is closed until the brass line is attached and then it opens?
I tried to tighten the silver fitting (nut on end and also fitting itself), but it did not stop leak.
Is this thermostat oven control supposed to be closed when not in use?
Is it supposed to open when knob is turned to pilot and pushed in and/or when turned to degree setting to set oven temp?
My guess is, it is leaking internally, but the air bubbles at threads has me puzzled.
Thoughts?
Thanks
