Wife making cookies...RV oven keeps going out...

[groundhogy]

I am rapidly getting into trouble each time we have to light the oven again. Even though its not my fault.

Light the pilot light and it stays on ok.
Turn knob and burner lights and oven heats ok.
At some point, the oven ceases to be lit. (maybe in the cycling procecess?)

I have observed that the pilot seems to be very happy by itself. Seems to tell me that the thermocouple is correctly sensing the pilot is on.

I have manually cycled the call for heat on and call for heat off several times by turning the temperature knob way up and way down.
I have not seen the burner turn off by itself doing this.

help..

Well, there must be something that senses oven temperature, and there must be a gas on/off relay?

But the gas relay has to turn the oven burner on and off while leaving the pilot on.

Seems like the oven temperature regulation circuit would be separate from the pilot light circuit?

Assuming all your other gas appliances work properly, I guess you can rule out gas issues like regulator.

That's about all I know.. my 15 yo oven has never failed to work. I have no igniter, I manually light it from the back with a torch. Good luck.
