Princess Propane Stove Help

[Joan]

Problem: Ignite lights the flame, but can't sustain it except in cool ambient temperatures. Where should I trouble shoot? Stove has not been used for four seasons. Does propane go stale? Tried the soap test on fittings so there doesn't appear to be a leak. However I don't feel that the propane flow is great in hot weather. Joan

Hold the knob in for a while after starting

The propane stove on my '95 29.5 requires that one hold in the knob so a sensor in the flame heats up to the proper temperature, which then allows propane to flow. If one doesn't hold the knob in for 15 -20 seconds, the flame will go out. If you've already tried this, I would first check these sensors (they're about the size of a match head).

Shutting doors quickly blows out flame

This may not help, but I finally figured out that on my 320 that the doors below the stove would blow out the flame if you closed the doors quickly when the flame was at maybe 50% strength or less.My solution was when shutting door hold it during closing. Hope that helps.
