oven pilot light will not stay lit

So now all of a sudden the pilot light does not want to stay lit? Burners work fine, plenty of propane. So who has the quick fix for this and anybody else had this problem. Thanks again for the info as always

Sounds like a new thermocouple will be needed.

For a quick look,make sure the thermocouple is close to the pilot,may have jiggled in transit

Is the pilot light flame fairly strong when you hold the safety in? Rap the
BTW, I asked sue when we turn to go to Moab, she said back up the Interstate where we had the snowstorm..
So, we will visit you on another trip The snowstorm kind of freaked us out.

We had to replace the Burner assembly when it happened to us.

I noticed ours would go out when my wife closed the oven door. She slams things anyway. Had her lighten up, and it stays lit always now.
Do check the thermocouple. Also, and higher elevations, tough to keep it lit.

You might try following thermocouple to gas control valve, unhook from valve and clean end that makes contact with control. Use fine sand paper or steel wool. Larry

Hi

Ours never did stay burning for any length of time and the clowns at the dealer had no clue as to what to do.

My wife made me get a new rig when our pilot light wouldn't stay lit. Wish I had known about the elevation as we spent the summer in Jackson, WY at 6200'. We went to a '11 3625, but I'm having a hell of a time connecting the satellite to the Samsung 550 TV. Anybody want to direct me through the process. Thank you

I have Directv service, using a HD AU9 SL3 dish. Found out early on that the Satelite connections in the service center are not marked correctly. The one marked for the living area is actually for the bedroom, and vice versa. Not sure if that could be your issue or not.
