We may be unusual... but we use our oven. Last night it died and this is an issue.
I noticed the pilot was hard to light but I eventually got it lit. However over night the pilot went out and will not light again. At first I thought I'd lit it but then I realized I'd actually lit the coupling behind the pilot (seemed it was leaking?). Now no matter what I try, nothing lights. The stove works just fine so I assume that means I've got enough propane.
My guess is the thermocouple went? Is there a way to confirm that? I peaked in there and it sure seems like the only way to service the oven is to remove the whole thing? Any other issues you all have seen?
Not happy.... This is the umpteenth nuisance item that has failed on our unit. I was OK with a failure here/there after a few years, and did repairs as needed... but this is getting old. I don't know if we were just lucky on our first RV or unlucky on this one... the things that are failing seem like common parts used by everyone
PS - a hint for Heartland. I did several years in component QC in another industry. We held our suppliers to pretty rigid standards and measured them into production and after. I am pretty sure that others who bought without the same inspection and contracts we wrote were getting our QC rejects! Just sayin'...
