Hi, I'm trying to fix the oven in my old Winnebago. The only way to light it is to turn the temp knob up and hold a lighter to it. The pilot light only lights when the burner is going. Once it gets up to temp, it goes out and needs to be relit.
I'm starting to think the gas lines are hooked up wrong. It seems the temperature knob is only hooked up to the pilot light. It's been this way since I got it 5 years ago.
I don't know the history of it, but it's probably at least 40 years old.
Can anyone tell me if the burner should be connected to the temperature control knob? It looks like the line going thru the temperature knob is kind of small for the main burner supply. I just don't understand how the control valve would know when to apply gas to the burner the way it is hooked up.
The model number is missing from the tag, it says sattler mfg.
