Ben84Rader Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I am having trouble with the oven in my 84 Sunrader. The pilot light works fine but when the ovens thermastat is turned up the gas never comes on. My father suspects the therma coupling is bad. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an off chance its the valve but unlikely. Now if the pilot flame does not enlarge then it could be the valve. As a side note we replaced our stove oven with a new one, they are less than $300 I think. But it gets a hot spot which can burn foods directly over the pilot light. I think its due to the enlarged flame of the pilot light when in heat mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoyhomme Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I had the same trouble with the oven in my 83 Sunrader. It turned out to be the thermostat which cost $130. I bought a new oven and installed it instead. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
