You may be able to remove the pan over the heating element to get good access to the pilot flame. In any case be sure the flame is properly aligned below the thermocouple. Mine was misaligned and after adjustment it worked fine.
Good advice.
If not an allignment issue, place some rags around the area of the thermocouple and blast it liberally with carburetor cleaner. It will disolve the carbon on the thermocouple that is insulating it from the heat of the flame. You could also try to brush it clean with a brass brush but its hard to get close enough to the TC.
Thermocouples rarely die, they mostly get dirty and I have fixed several of these ovens with just a cleaning.
