Stove won't light

[harryjr]

Last trip was in late June. Now this week the stove top won't light. No sound or odor from any of the burners. Furnace is working so the problem isn't the tanks or regulator. Our travel partner suggested a spider blockage in the line. That soulds like a good possibility. But now what? How do we clear it?

It's not likely a spider would cause the type of gas flow restriction you describe. That would more likely be the case if only one burner doesn't get gas flow.

I assume the oven burner does not light. I also assume you left the valve(s) open long enough to completely purge air from the lines.

Do all other gas appliances fire up?
Is your stove in a slide-out?
If yes to both, check for a kinked line under the slide, especially if another unit the slide doesn't fire, but others not in the slide do.
If there are no kinks, then you will need to investigate the stove lines and regulator.
By the way, there is probably a gas shutoff valve under the stove top....I doubt that got turned off, but check that too.

Did you try to light with a barbecue lighter? Does that work?

Our stove worked with the piezo lighter installed on the stove on two of the three burners but not the big one.. It needed a new lighter. We CAN manually ignite with a barbecue lighter.

I have no idea if your stove requires manual lighting in the first place. If so ignore this advice.

Thanks for the replies
Burners will not light with a match/aim-a-flame
Stove not on a slideout

Some Stove/Oven units have a shut off valve under the top cover... is that valve open?

Does the Oven light?

Okay........."Slap my face and call me stupid"

This morning the furnace wouldn't light, and I finally remembered that last time I refilled the propane I didn't do both tanks. Just the right side. Thought at the time that the left was full.

Gee when they're both dead, the stove and the furnace won't work. Who'da thunk?

Thanks all for trying to help the brainless.

Hey at least it's an easy and fairly cheap fix. You ain't the first person that's done that nor the last.
