Not sure Sean, but if my pilot lit and the burner didn’t I would disassemble the pilot and burner to see if anything was clogged. If the pilot remains lit, the thermocouple should be OK. The only other thing may be a kink in the line like I discovered prohibiting free flow of enough fuel. Aside from that, hopefully others can provide better advice. Good luck!

the pilot is lighting and that’s all it’s doing what could be wrong

I have a Maytag Majic Chef 22in rv oven in a 97 motorhome.This oven range top works perfectly and the pilot light lights fine in the oven. When I turn the oven on the pilot flame increases and the oven burner will lite well for a few seconds then go out. This happens but not every time. Is this a valve issue and if so which one ? Why does it seem to be fine but will not stay on ? All other gas appliances in the motor home are all working fine.

Well, the pilot won’t light if the thermocouple is working, sounds like it’s not getting enough gas. I’d check the supply line.

The first thing I would check is to see if the pilot assembly is securely tightened. I’ve noticed the nut on ours often loosens up over time. After that I would disassemble, clean and replace the pilot. But as I described in this post, it turned out being a kink in the line. Maybe others here will have better advice. Good Luck!

Really helpful! First time RV Family, that just dove straight into full-timing and we’re working out a few kinks as we go. Thanks for the help guys! Our Magic Chef works perfect, for now (knock on wood) but I know where to come to resolve any future problems.
