RV Repair: Wedgewood oven pilot, capillary tube, pilot light


Question
I have a Wedgewood Oven and the pilot will only light when the oven is turned on.  If I put my oven knob on pilot light it won't light at all.  The other problem is that since I have to turn the oven on for the pilot light to stay on, my oven burner never does light.  What do I need to fix?

Answer
Hi there
I suspect you have a contaminated pilot orifice in the oven. Not so easy to remove and clean but do-able. Just be careful of the capillary tube for the safety valve if you break it, it can be expensive. Just know when to call an expert. LPG appliances can be very dangerous and some repairs should not be tried yourself. I don't cut my own hair.
