LP Gas Oven Problem

[Bob F]

I seldom use the oven on my 1998 H376, but last weekend we baked a frozen pie. Oven initially fired right up and cooked great. After about 20-25 minutes the pilot went out and I had to relite it a couple times. Anybody have a reason for the problem? I was thinking maybe I was running low on LP, but the stove burns fine.Thanks,Bob

thermo coupler

Bob, there should be a thermo coupler in the burner that lets the gas flow.It is a safety device that prevents gas from flowing when not burning.If you look at the stove top each burner has one,it is about 1/4 diameter and 1 inch long.with a small line leading out of it.Your symtoms are typical of when it goes bad.The good news is it is only about $5 to buy and can be replaced by any one who is handy with normal tools. It can be purchased at any appliance dealer and even home depot has them.As alway use caution and good venting when working an a gas appliance.
